Intermediate Chinese cover

This educational resource, Intermediate Chinese, is designed for high school and college students, focusing on spoken Chinese through structured lessons and practical dialogues.

The book titled Intermediate Chinese serves as the second volume in a comprehensive series designed for high school and college students learning spoken Chinese. This volume focuses on everyday dialogues, providing students with practical language skills while addressing common challenges they may encounter. Each unit is structured to enhance understanding through a systematic approach to new vocabulary and grammar, ensuring that learners can effectively communicate in various situations.

Intermediate Chinese is organized into four units, with each unit containing six lessons. The first five lessons introduce new material, while the sixth lesson serves as a review of the previous lessons. This structure allows students to consolidate their learning and practice through a variety of drills and exercises. The lessons include dialogues in both Chinese and English, sentences for new words, review sentences, and monologues, providing a rich linguistic experience.

In addition to its educational content, the book features a range of illustrations to support visual learning. Compiled by Mr. DeFrancis, a research professor of Chinese at Seton Hall University, Intermediate Chinese is designed to be accessible and engaging for learners. It builds upon the foundations laid in its predecessor, Beginning Chinese, ensuring a seamless transition for students as they advance in their language studies.
