elina Posted July 25, 2014 at 05:14 PM Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 at 05:14 PM Except for fabiothebest, who I have no idea where he is, because last time in the first round he said he would leave his country and go to China during this period, so I’d like to wait for his message for address confirmation, as well as for michaelS, he is on holidays, and we’ll mail his books later. And these days, we have mailed packages for all the other people, details are as follows, in accordance with the order of name, package number, shipping method: lechuan, RA622204072CN, SAL Ania, RA622205170CN, SAL Silent, RA622204126CN, SAL Lu, RA622204188CN, SAL li3wei1, RA622204086CN, SAL datdere, RA622204245CN, SAL PaulSav, RA622204259CN, SAL philwhite, RA622204231CN, SAL Hofmann, RA622205912CN, SAL MPhillips, RA622204228CN, SAL miaomiao, RA622204112CN, SAL FredricHenry, RA622205943CN, SAL Base7, RA622205166CN, SAL Tianjin42, PA39776808811, ordinary mail ChTTay, PA39776810511, ordinary mail Iso, RA622204214CN, SAL Hilde-07, CP282234861CN, SAL edelweis, RA622204191CN, SAL taijiphoenix, RA622204205CN, SAL smcullen, CP282234645CN, SAL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
li3wei1 Posted July 25, 2014 at 06:52 PM Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 at 06:52 PM Just posted my review of HSK Grammar. I believe I'm the first on this round! I know quite a few people requested this book, so feel free to add to or argue with my comments. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechuan Posted July 26, 2014 at 05:50 AM Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 at 05:50 AM Thanks Elina! I got my package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elina Posted July 26, 2014 at 06:40 AM Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 at 06:40 AM Excellent! li3wei1, so quick your review comes! I just cannot imagine lechuan, glad to hear you have got your package. This time on the second round, we specially mailed just a small amount of packages in one time and in different days, because we don’t hope to find if the packages were mailed intensively, they would line up for customs check for 8 days or even 12 days, like the situation on the first round: http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/44629-no-more-free-chinese-books-for-now/?p=337903 So this policy works, people got their packages much faster than before. And when you review your books, it'd be very helpful if you mention: a) that you got this book as a part of this giveaway and link to the topic, b) and post here to add a link to your review, c) and add the book’s link on our site in your post, to let others know the details of the book.

edelweis Posted July 26, 2014 at 12:09 PM Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 at 12:09 PM Wow my package is here already, that was fast I posted a review of Speak Business Chinese Fluently, I'll try to have a look at "Practicing HSK Grammar" tomorrow... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweis Posted July 27, 2014 at 11:26 AM Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 at 11:26 AM I just added my review of Practicing HSK grammar in the same thread as li3wei1's review. I hope it's ok that I wrote down a detailed table of contents, as li3wei1 said it's really missing from the book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilde-07 Posted July 31, 2014 at 11:43 AM Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 11:43 AM Hi, A few hours ago I received my books. Thanks again ! I didn't expect them so soon, so now I'm going to the park and start reading Hilde 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ania Posted July 31, 2014 at 02:22 PM Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 02:22 PM I would like to report that I received my books yesterday! I'm very excited and I will post my reviews as soon as I'm done "plyaing" with my new "toys" Once again huge thanks to everyone who makes all of this possible, you guys rock!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwhite Posted July 31, 2014 at 07:23 PM Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 07:23 PM Many thanks Elina, I received my book for review yesterday too, all very carefully packed and the CD intact. As others have commented, the newspaper can be interesting too. Mine had a science article about 3D打印人造肉 (3D printed artificial meat, I believe). I must finish my final assignment for my University course before I start on this book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Posted July 31, 2014 at 09:29 PM Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 at 09:29 PM I just arrived home and found my books in the mailbox. Thanks to everyone making this gift possible. It's nicely in time as tomorrow I'll have a long train ride so now I've something to do during the ride:) I'll start with the Geography book as it looks far more interesting then expected. I expected stories about the standard touristy things, but the book looks far more diverse. I hope to post the reviews in a few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iso Posted August 2, 2014 at 12:23 PM Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 at 12:23 PM Got my books today and I posted a review for My First Chinese Storybooks • Ages 5-11: A Big Spider. I'll need some more time for the other book - it has no pictures and many more characters that want to be reviewed ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Base7 Posted August 2, 2014 at 05:15 PM Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 at 05:15 PM I received my book today ("The big book of spoken Chinese"). Thanks! At first glance, it looks really good: expressions for various everyday situations, example conversations and vocabulary lists, arranged per topic/situation. A few things I read were also told to me by Chinese friends, so it looks like the content is realistic. I will post a review soon after I have read the book more thouroughly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smcullen Posted August 7, 2014 at 11:44 AM Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 at 11:44 AM How exciting to come home and find a package from China just sitting there waiting for me to open it! Inside were 3 books: My First "Beginner’s Chinese", "Everyday Chinese" and "Chinese Storybooks—That Is Wrong, That Is Wrong （Spanish version) ". Thank you, Elina and Sinolingua, for putting together this exciting project. It will make for a very busy couple of weeks ahead. I'll begin posting on the weekend.

Tianjin42 Posted August 8, 2014 at 03:12 AM Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 at 03:12 AM Hi Elina - China Post messaged me to inform me they had the books at their post office in Hujialou. I went to pick them up yesterday and now have them. Great stuff! I will work through them then post reviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
