Complete Modern Chinese Grammar - Brown, Paul C

. .

Résumé :
A word from the author: Having spent years trying to learn Chinese the traditional way, I quickly realised that the logic behind it was not suitable for me. Therefore, as a teacher I have spent the last 5 years designing a series of Chinese grammar books that allow a native-born English speaker to go from English grammar to Chinese, rather than the traditional way of starting from Chinese grammar and then relating it to English grammar. In this way, a native-born English speaker, who thinks in English, can learn to translate from English to Chinese using this style of learning. Who is this book for? This book is for anyone wishing to learn how to use Chinese for speaking, reading and writing. The information contained within this book is enough to pass HSK 3, but the book itself is designed to get non-native speakers to use Chinese effectively on a day-to-day basis. You might want to send messages, write emails, conduct in-depth conversations, or give presentations in Chinese. If so, then the beginner to intermediate edition provides all the grammar needed to communicate with native Chinese people about everyday issues. How to use the book: The book is divided into 140 units, and after every 7 units there is a summary page that can be used to review what has been studied. With this book, students will start learning simple nouns, then simple sentences and finally finishing on intermediate level structures. The tenses that are taught are 'present simple, present continuous, future simple and past simple'. In other words, by the end of the book, students should be able to talk and write about the past, present and future. In fact, there is enough information contained within that students should be able to live and work in China without fear of making any mistakes or not being able to communicate an everyday idea or opinion....
