Real-life dialogues and situations help you to converse with confidence; Sentence pattern exercises and drills help to reinforce what you are learning; Native-speaker audio recordings enable you to pronounce Chinese vocabulary accurately; Interesting notes, idioms, sayings and poems introduce you to Chinese culture. Mandarin Chinese for Beginners contains lots of extra hints and tips drawn from the authors' many years of experience in teaching the language to foreigners. Answer keys for the exercises are provided, and an "Extend Your Vocabulary" section in each chapter helps you to remember and understand more words that you'd think possible." --Provided by publisher
