Review

The approach, the contents, and the layout are almost perfect; my students of first year Chinese cannot believe that they are making such great progress. --Yu Feng, Professor of Chinese, Brandeis University

This new edition of Integrated Chinese is an outstanding achievement. Complete with interesting cultural notes, useful authentic materials, and a wealth of interactive exercises, the authors have outdone themselves AGAIN! --Dr. Zoe Wu, Chinese Language Program, Pasadena City College

Overall, we would rate Integrated Chinese as superior, innovative, and extremely versatile. We recommend it without hesitation as an invaluable core component of a Chinese language program at both the high school and college levels. --Lisa M. Carlucci, MS, MA, Robbinsville (NJ) High School/Washington Township Public Schools-Mercer and Franco Paoletti, PhD, East Windsor (NJ) Regional School District

This is a great book for complete beginnings who want to learn Chinese (Mandarin). First, a little about me. I'm a first-year student of Chinese, and this is the book used by my class. I've learned a couple romance languages, but never any language as dissimilar to English as Chinese. This book has been my main tool for study at home.

I won't say that this book makes learning Chinese easy. Whenever you see a book or a piece of software promising that you'll "learn with ease" or "gain fluency in 8 weeks or less!" you should have alarms going off in your head. Language learning does not have to be painful or burdensome, but it takes time. It can be fun, but it is never easy. You have to put in the hours, you have to open your mouth, and you have to learn effective ways to memorize vocabulary. Daily conversations with a native speaker are the best answer to all of these. Unfortunately, most of us don't have access to such a person.

While nothing can make you fluent in Chinese without effort (short of being born in Bejing), this book does make the experience more enjoyable, and less frustrating. Lessons start out slowly, with manageable topics. The first chapters contain almost no grammar rules. This allows students to focus on learning about the four tones and reading pinyin (Chinese spelled out with letters instead of characters), which are prerequisites for all further learning. The lessons then walk students through basic conversations. There are vocabulary lists in each chapter, but the book focuses on conversation usage, starting with dialogs, and then progressing to exercises that invite students to create original conversations. Cultural sections along the way provide a lot of genuinely useful information about how people in China live and interact.

Everything is written in Chinese characters (simplified), pinyin, and English. This makes it possible to focus as much or as little on writing as you like. I'm focusing on my conversational skills, but I've been able to pick up some of the more common characters just by paying attention as I read the dialogs. If you are all about the written language, you'll find information of stroke order, radicals, and more. Naturally, there is also a glossary in the back, alphabetized by pinyin spelling.

Will you be able to speak Chinese after going through this book? Not without a lot of time and practice. The same is true of any book or language learning software. The book won't do the work for you. But this book provides you with a lot of the tools you'll need to get started, and I highly recommend it for beginners.
