Notes: C17

Summary: Since its release, Integrated Chinese has become the leading introductory Chinese textbook at colleges and universities around the world. The course works because it provides coordinated practice in all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Integrated Chinese helps learners understand how the Chinese language functions grammatically, and how to use Chinese in real life--how to understand it on the street, speak it on the telephone, read it in the newspaper, or write it in a report. Now this completely expanded and revised second edition contains updated, contemporary situations, new cultural notes, student-friendly grammar explanations, and an exciting new two-color design that makes learning and teaching even easier!
