BASIC CHINESE:
A GRAMMAR AND WORKBOOK
Praise for the first edition:
‘Very well structured and clearly explained’
Dr Qian Kan, Cambridge University
Basic Chinese introduces the essentials of Chinese syntax. Each of
the 25 units deals with a particular grammatical point and provides
associated exercises. Features include:
• clear, accessible format
• many useful language examples
• jargon-free explanations of grammar
• ample drills and exercises
• full key to exercises
All Chinese entries are presented in both pinyin romanization and
Chinese characters, and are panied, in most cases, by English
translations to facilitate self-tuition as well as classroom teaching in
both spoken and written Chinese.
Basic Chinese is designed for students new to the language. Together
with its sister volume, Intermediate Chinese, it forms pendium
of the essentials of Chinese syntax.
