Contemporary Chinese, a complete adult-level textbook series, is tailored to beginners of the Chinese language and is aimed at developing the abilities of listening comprehension, speaking, reading and writing of the language. This series has been widely used at home and abroad since its initial publication. Based on teachers impressions of, and suggestions for, the book over the past decade, the following changes have been made to the revised edition: restructured content and teaching procedures for a greater ease of use for both students and teachers; updated and relevant topics; increased exercises and class activities; two new books: including Testing Materials and Supplementary Reading Materials. The revised edition embodies a new process-oriented, task-based and interactive teaching method.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent textbook to accompany classroom learning
Reviewed in Canada on 26 March 2020
Verified Purchase
The main issue I have with this textbook is that the conversation sections have kanji and pinyin but no English translation. You can go through the vocabulary section and write in the translations yourself (if you have small handwriting at least), but it’s noticeably absent compared to a previous edition which did have English.

Otherwise, I think it’s a good textbook, with subjects that someone living or traveling in mandarin-speaking countries would find useful (like ordering food, and asking about maps and dictionaries).

Construction of the book is good; the paper quality is not too flimsy and easy to annotate with a pen or pencil. It is a full textbook size for learning the language, not a pocket reference guide if that’s what you are looking for.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alles muss extra gekauft werden
Reviewed in Germany on 11 January 2019

Positives:
Das Buch beginnt mit der Aussprache (was der Grund war, weshalb ich es gekauft hatte, da ich eigentlich kein Anfänger im Chinesischen mehr bin) und der Inhalt ist gut geordnet und ansprechend gestaltet. Die Tipps zur Aussprache sind sehr hilfreich. Außerdem wird, sobald man mit der Einführung durch ist, nicht mehr nur mit Pinyin sondern auch mit chinesischen Schriftzeichen gearbeitet, was ich sehr begrüße, und in den hinteren Units sind sogar chinesische Gedichte und Lieder zu finden.

Negatives:
Das Buch ist recht dünn und man ist relativ schnell am Ende angelangt. Außerdem muss man Übungsbuch und MP3 (!) extra kaufen, was ich als wirklich albern empfinde und mir so noch nie untergekommen ist. Die Mp3 musste ich mir irgendwo im Internet raussuchen, weil sie auf Amazon viel zu teuer war (im 40 € Bereich). zum Glück gibt es sie auf anderen Seiten billiger, aber diese Seiten zu finden war ein Krampf, den ich nicht noch einmal durchgehen möchte. Man muss beim Kauf der MP3 und des Übungsbuches (die MP3 muss man zum Glück nicht für beide Bücher einzeln kaufen, sondern bekommt beide in einer Datei) auch darauf achten, dass man die Revised Version bekommt. (Wobei ich nicht sicher bin, ob die alten MP3 noch verkauft werden. Die alten Bücher kann man auf jeden Fall gebraucht erhalten).

Alles in Allem hatte ich wirklich recht viele Probleme mit dem Buch und werde mit die anderen Teile wohl nicht zulegen.

Everything good about this except it's not much use without the CD - it says CD/MP3 accompanies the volumes - they don't. They have to be purchased separately at nearly £20

4.0 out of 5 stars Great condition
Reviewed in Canada on 16 October 2020

I ordered this for a class, and am very happy with it. Considering it is a used textbook, it's in great condition, and even came with a couple of cute stickie notes marking the pages (this is not sarcasm they genuinely were very cute). My only complaint is that shipping was more than I thought it would be.
