ABSTRACT

Intermediate Chinese is intended for students who have some knowledge of the language. Each of the twenty five units deal with a particualr grammar point and provide associated exercises. Features include:
* clear, accessible format
* many useful language examples
* jargon-free grammar explanations
* ample drills and exercises
* full key to exercises
All Mandarin Chinese entries are presented in both pinyin romanization and Chinese characters, and are accompanied, in most cases, by English translations to facilitate self-tuition in both written and spoken Chinese.
Intermediate Chinese reviews the principal elements introduced in Basic Chinese and introduces more complicated structures. The two books form a compendium of all the main features of Chinese syntax.
