Synopsis
The STANDARD CHINESE series of elementary and intermediate Chinese language texts has been developed at Yale University by Parker Po-fei Huang and Hugh M. Stimson. These texts employ PINYIN romantization, emphasize natural dialogue, offer full explanations of grammar, introduce a generous, modern adult vocabulary, include both simplified and unsimplified forms of the character, and are equipped with an accompanying audio tape series. The series is "two track," that is, there is a spoken language series and an accompanying written language series. Each volume in the series is also supported by student workbooks and there is a character flash card set also available. The series is presently being used at Yale and at many other college and high school Chinese language programs.
Synopsis
This book continues the Written Standard Chinese series. It resumes from the end of Book One and is designed to build vocabulary and bring the student to the 600 character recognition level. It uses both traditional and simplified forms, and pinyin romanization.
