Did you make it? 不错！

Altough I don't like using Microsoft software to open documents (hey, Word is a piece of crap program!). You should save it in a less crapy format like .RTF or .PDF.

Otherwise, good workin!

[Weronika]

thanks, yes I did it and I'll do the other lessons too, I think it's useful for students who study from Teach Yourself chinese book. This book is quite good for beginners I think.

For "kudra"'s advise, i replaced the word idiom to 'words' because they are not idioms. Sorry for that mistake

I'll try another format.

Don't waste time, Weronika, attached is the document I typed in. If you spot any typos, please let me know, it's a complete text! Enjoy

Oh GREAT! Thanks .

[atitarev]

You're welcome. Not sure if we can keep it there for copyright reasons (sh) but here's more

I spent a lot of time on it but there's no point for me keeping it just for myself here's more Teach Yourself Beginner's Chinese this text was purely in pinyin, I converted it to Chinese characters, error-checked several times I still have some doubts about the choice of characters for a few personal names but I checked with native speakers some of them (on this forum too)

Yes I thought the copyright thing too, so it's ok -> (sh) .

The teach yourself beginner is another book? I think so. Thanks atitarev, it's very useful for me. So thanks again!

I see there were a lot of downloads of both files. Any feedback/corrections will be appreciated.

The teach yourself beginner is another book?

Yes, it's a different book and it has more and better audio and learning pace is much more consistent. The main drawback was missing Chinese characters.

阿，你们俩都是英国人。

the correct is

啊

[atitarev]

Thanks Weronika.

I checked "Teach Yourself Chinese" less thoroughly than "Teach Yourself Beginner's Chinese", although I had the book to consultfor correct characters.

今天晚上吃中国菜行吗？

好极了！

别客气，自己来吧!

What does it mean here, 自己来 ?

[atitarev]

自己来吧! - Please help yourself!

来 replaces some verbs in some expressions but I can't give you the rules

[Weronika]

thak you so much

Weronika

These files are not very helpful.

How can you teach yourself Chinese if there are not any English or French or Spanish words for the native speaker of those languages to be able to read and understand.

If I sent you a few pages of Thai characters it would not help you learn Thai would it ?

Kind regards

Digby

The files are meant to be supplementary to a course entitled Teach Yourself Chinese. Trying to use them as standalone resources probably won't be very successful - although the file I just downloaded does have pinyin, English and what I can only assume is Budapestian next to the characters.

[Weronika]

these are for those who use the book of teach yourself chinese for using it on computer, for vocabulary

if you don't have the book you can't use that

(Budapestian: it's so funny)

[Xiaohua]

I've tried all of these, and they have helped me a great deal with my chinese.

here is another xls. The first two is list of characters with hungarian meaning . but the third is the character's english meaning, it can be useful maybe:
