The Book

Chit-Chat Chinese is a series of basic Mandarin Chinese language courses. Each course is designed to be both a self-study guide as well as aclassroom textbook. The course contents draw heavily from language used in real-life situations, providing communicative and meaningful contexts. Many interesting and lively exercises are integrated into the textbook as well as various tests and quizzes allowing the user to evaluate progress. The accompanying audio CD allows users to master vocabulary and tones by imitating the pronunciation of a native speaker while simultaneously reading along in the textbook. The learner-centered, self-study course provides tips and strategies for learning Chinese more efficiently.

    I ordered your book for my beginning Chinese students for next semester, but our bookstore is having difficulty locating a distributor in the US. Could you please tell us who is selling this book for you in the US market?

  6. I don’t think so since you make no mention of it, but is your book perhaps available in a downloadable format?
    Thanks

  9. I purchased this book for a class I will start this Saturday in San Francisco. I just tried to look at the cd but received an error message that it cannot be used with a Mac. Is there a different version that I can trade this cd in exchange for one compatible with Mac OS?
