New Practical Chinese Reader vol.1 - Textbook

Product Information

The New Practical Chinese Reader is a good choice for students hoping to improve Chinese character recognition. The Cheng & Tsui series come with accompanying workbooks, which provide a great way to reinforce all the content covered in the textbook. Their latest edition is also available as a web app version of the textbooks for those wishing to study the materials online. Based on the highly acclaimed and time-tested Practical Chinese Reader (PCR), the New Practical Chinese Reader has been entirely revised and updated. It combines the grammatical strengths of the old Practical Chinese Reader with contemporary material and more emphasis on the learner’s ability to use Chinese in everyday conversation. The New Practical Chinese Reader consists of 70 lessons in six volumes, covering beginning to intermediate levels, for three years of instruction. Ich habe das Lehrbuch mit einem Privatlehrer (1 Stunde pro Woche, 1 Lektion pro Stunde) durchgenommen, der meine Aussprache und Grammatikfehler korrigiert und Dialogübungen gemacht hat, und ich glaube zwar nicht, dass ich mich in China schon wirklich verständigen könnte, aber wenn ein Muttersprachler langsam und deutlich mit mir redet, kann ich schon vernünftig antworten ohne wie ein Homo erectus pekinensis zu klingen. There are graded readers written in many languages, but in Mandarin Companion's case, graded readers are written for Chinese learners. Graded readers commonly take the form of novels and are written at a targeted difficulty level or “grade.”

Thirdly, the series is useful for your daily life in China since they contain so many daily conversations common in China, for example: Die Lektionen sind alle gleich aufgebaut - ein Dialog mit Pinyin und Hanzi, Vokabelliste, einige Anmerkungen zu besonderen Sprachkonstrukten, Übungen, Grammatikteil und schließlich Schriftzeichenerläuterungen.

Nach der Durcharbeitung dieses Lehrbuchs können Sie auf Chinesisch grüßen, über Geburtstage und Alter sprechen, nach Datum, Uhrzeit und dem Preis von Waren fragen, über Ihre Familie reden und beim Arzt erklären, dass Sie Kopfweh haben. Published by Cheng & Tsui, this series consists of four different volumes, covering you up to the equivalent of HSK 4. All texts come with pinyin, and all texts come with both simplified and traditional characters. Breakthrough is Mandarin Companion’s entry level, designed specifically for emerging readers to master 150 unique characters. Each book is approximately 5,000 characters in length and uses simple vocabulary and grammar. The HSK series textbooks come with an accompanying CD which includes recordings of all the vocabulary lists, dialogues, and texts. Be aware that they are only printed in simplified Chinese.

The short answer is no! Textbooks can be a great tool to improve your Chinese, but they are no substitute for having real conversations with native speakers or listening to authentic Chinese language content such as Chinese songs or TV shows.

To keep the dialogue the same, the characters are given universal names in translations of the book across all languages. Gubo ( 古波; gǔbō): Young male student, non-Chinese. The name's transliteration is uncertain, but Cooper or Gilbert has been suggested. According to one of the authors of the original PCR, there was no corresponding name, he simply coined the name because it sounded foreign. The HSK series is a great place to start as they are based on the (only) official standardized proficiency tests for Mandarin Chinese in China. Fourthly, it is a great choice if you are interested in Chinese culture. By all means, understanding Chinese culture will be easier and add an interesting experience when learning with a native Chinese teacher. These textbooks are essential during the journey!
