She has tried, tested and perfected various lessons and techniques that apply well to Chinese studies. These modern techniques are now published in a series of four books.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach book teaches the reader both Pinyin and Hanzi (Chinese characters). One of the unique features in these books is the literal translation into English of common Chinese expressions and vocabulary. For example, you can often see the annotation \"lit.\" with the daily life topic sentences in BOOK 4, showing the direct translation of the Chinese text. This technique reinforces an understanding of sentence structure and grammar which has proven to be instrumental in helping the students and readers to retain the Chinese that they have already learned. Other Chinese language books do not use this approach.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBOOK 4 provides useful, high frequency language and examples heard everyday on the streets of China. Part 1 gives the reader a solid basis for understanding Chinese in additional and varied day-to-day situations, such as booking tickets, travelling around China, renting apartments, sports, dating, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLike BOOK 1, 2, 3 in this series, one of the unique features of this book is also the literal translation into English of common Chinese expressions and vocabulary. You can study the daily life topics in Part 1 in any order. Chinese facts and cultural information are also touched upon in Part 2 to give a better understanding of the Chinese people. Thus, Part 1 and Part 2, together with all the extra vocabulary and information in the appendix can provide a good reference resource.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNOTE: After you have learnt Pinyin (initials, finals and tones) in Part 1 of BOOK 1, you are ready to continue studying any books within the Modern Chinese series...BOOK 1, 2, 3 and 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vivienne Zhang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1490395210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781490395210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Vivienne Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138600726783,"sku":"9781490395210","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8240fd0-8fff-41e7-81f7-3c6bcf489d41.jpg?v=1687900541","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-chinese-book-4-vivienne-zhang-9781490395210","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
