New Practical Chinese Reader, Vol. 2 (2nd Edition): Workbook (with MP3 CD or QR Scan) (English and Chinese Edition)

Beware, when you get this text book it does not have PinYin like the first book does. It does have PinYin for the definitions of the words, but not in the conversations, so if you're more focused on speaking then you may need a different text book. I'm fortunate to have a teacher that translates the characters for me as I am concentrating on speaking rather than reading and writing. This does, however, give you motivation to learn the characters since so many words have the same sound and different meanings, so knowing the characters helps.

useful book

I bought this book along with the textbook. I’ve studied only the first few chapters of both of them, but so far both are excellent. The workbook contains numerous exercises – listening and speaking exercises, and reading and writing exercises – to reinforce what’s taught in the textbook. Many of the exercises are difficult, so that you truly learn from doing them. Most of the listening and speaking exercises are on the accompanying CD. If you’re interested in seriously studying Chinese, I would highly recommend these books.

Best approach to studying chinese! I have used these books for my first and second chinese classes and will continue to use the other levels as well. At one point these resources were free online provided by the chinese government. pity they aren't free anymore though.

If you are thinking to provide American Born Chinese a practical mandarin textbook for effective Chinese learning, this one is the most classic with tons of situational practices. This textbook is also featured repeating learned phrases and expressions in practices and readings to reinforce students' vocabulary and understanding. The demerit is the content might not be that interesting though.

Good for review, even if you're using other textbook series.

The practice activities here are challenging and often require the help of my professor to complete, but when I'm done I feel like I have fully understood the grammar, vocabulary, and characters. It would be nice if the more difficult writing activities included example sentences because I'm not always sure what I'm supposed to do. The accompanying CDs are very helpful, although I wish they included the pronunciation drills at the beginning of each workbook chapter.

This is a great book that really helps you learn Chinese. This has a nice lay out to understand and also helps you with learn grammar structures! I would order from this seller again!

The text book includes challenges which correlates to the chapters in the textbook. This book challenges you to have correct Chinese grammar.If you are self studying, i would recommend a free app called "pleco". Pleco is a great free app which includes freatures such as word scanning and pronunciation.

This collection is the one used for my Chinese classes, and it's perfect.It's simple and clear, straightforward, and fun to learn.It's rightfully renowned in the teaching field of Mandarin.

complete the text book with exercises and drills. need teacher for corrections

J'ai fait l'achat de ce manuel afin de pouvoir suivre mes cours de chinois à la fac. C'est assez difficile de ce le procurer ailleurs, les librairies déclarent malheureusement que le livre n'est pas en stock et qu'ils peuvent le commander, mais que malheureusement, les éditions centenaires qui font la production de ce manuel répondent peu voire pas du tout. Certains étudiants qui voulaient commander ce manuel en septembre l'ont reçu pour pâque certaines années. Amazon permet d'obtenir le manuel, ainsi que le textbook associé, sans passer par les éditions centenaires quand ils l'on en stock.C'est un bon manuel qui sert de support de cours dans certaines universités, avec pas mal d'exercices en relation avec le textbook qui a des dialogues très complet et un CD pour aider à l'apprentissage des caractères et l'intonation dans les dialogues. Cependant les enregistrements fait pas l'université de langue de Pékin datent peut-être un peu, cela se ressent sur les enregistrements du textbook notamment.
