Integrated Chinese, Level 1: Traditional Characters (Cheng & Tsui Chinese Language Series) (Chinese and English Edition)

Great book. flows like a school book. With good time management anyone can practice and learn Chinese. I like it.

This product is a happy surprise. It came a few days faster than the estimated delivery date. It was in a sturdy box, so the workbook is a perfect condition. I can't believe this is used!

I am a native English speaker who is trying to learn Mandarin as an adult. This workbook is fantastic practice and covers the basics of learning a language; listening, speaking, comprehensive reading and translation, and writing/ grammar practice. I highly recommend buying it along with the textbook. Wonderful and helpful!

Great book and allows professors to explain more than what the textbook does. There are many examples that make sure you get the grammar points down and help you memorize vocabulary. The exercises also go a bit beyond what the textbook teaches, which helps challenging students.

I'm not often pleased with textbooks, but I'm willing to say this is your best choice in terms of learning Chinese. With enough time and practice I've found it very enjoyable to use and has all the mainline words, rules, and conversations to get you on your way

Update:I had to lower my score, because as the term went on, the book started using sentence patterns and vocabulary that we wouldn't learn until the following lesson (or lesson dialogue). It actually started to give me a headache. However, for the lessons that didn't do that, the book was okay.Pros:This book works well with the Textbook and the Character Workbook. It's a great complement and the exercises do their job in creating sentence patterns and improving your listening skills. BUY THE CDS! They are important to doing the listening part; especially if you are doing self-study and need to hear what words sound like. Out of all the exercises in this workbook, those are the most helpful; Although, it might be helpful to have the text for them in the back of the book or something.Cons:Some of the exercises did not have clear directions, but they were still pertinent.Also, The Listening Comprehension parts were slightly too tricky. Even if you completely translated the dialogue into English, some of the questions are hard to answer. For instance, some of the questions are multiple choice and you have to choose the answer that is true:1.a. Wang Peng and Li You did not have to wait to be seated.b. Wang Peng and Li You had to wait a long time for a table.c. The restaurant was not crowded at all.d. There was still a table available.The waiter says there is a table, but a. and b. could be true too. Nothing is mentioned of the wait.2.a. Wang Peng and Li You ordered food separately.b. Li You asked Wang Peng to order for her.c. Wang Peng offered to order for Li You.d. Wang Pend did not want to order for Li You.In the dialogue, Li You tells Wang Peng to order; however, later Wang Peng tells Li You to speak, and she orders something. So they both ordered something. I chose (a.) because they both ordered something; however, I was wrong. Apparently, you should have chosen (b.). However, why the heck is Li You still ordering for herself in the later part of the dialogue?I know they are trying to make you think, but they are going overboard.

Definitely was used before which was mentioned in description. Interfered with my class work sometimes but at least I got some answer and a different perspective. Since the provider did not lie, 5 stars

Yes-arrived quickly and bought it at a great price.

Terrible. Workbook in which no place left to work. Waited 30 days and then got a book that is already filled in an full of pencil scratches.
