Integrated Chinese: Level 1, Part 1 Simplified Character Edition (Textbook) (English and Chinese Edition)

The book arrived pretty quick and there's only some writing on a few pages, so they definitely were accurate with the description of the quality. So far it seems like the lessons are easy enough to follow, if you have friends who speak Chinese that definitely helps with checking on your pronunciation, otherwise the CDs for Integrated Chinese are available too. Overall, great quality book at a great price, I fully recommend it to anyone looking to teach themselves the basics of the language.

No textbook is perfect, but I do like this one. Once you learn the phonetics and pinyin (with the help of a fluent speaker), this book could work for self teaching or for a class. It uses pinyin and simplified Chinese, and you'll find yourself reading simple Chinese sentences in no time.

If it's what your teacher recommended then you're GOLDEN with this purchase. Helped me get through my 1 year of Chinese!

The book that I order from amazon was perfect, I gave it five stars because even though it did have a tiny bit of writing in it...it was still like brand new and the notes the previous owner had written in it helped me out. I got exactly what I wanted without the extremely high and ridiculous college price. THANK YOU AMAZON

Great condition, fast delivery. The book's good for beginners, but you'll definitely need a teacher/native speaker to make sure your tones are correct. Each chapter provides grammar points, pattern drills, and pinyin/character writing sections as your learning which was pretty helpful. Overall a great investment for me :)

Came in good quality.

It's what I learned on.

I chose this textbook to tutor Chinese. If you want to learn Chinese systematiclly, this is one of the best choices!

The first book I ordered was a no show, but when I contacted the costumer service about this they immediately sent me another copy and that one did arrive. So excellent costumer service and the books of near_fine are always in really good condition. I'm one happy costumer!
