Cheng & Tsui's best-loved Chinese textbook series is new, revised, and better than ever!
The Across the Straits student book contains 22 miniscripts to help improve the listening skills of intermediate and advanced students.
Comprehensive and current, this lexicon is the first specifically designed to serve the needs of English speakers doing business in and with China and other Mandarin-speaking areas.
For centuries the Chinese referred to their fiction as xiaoshuo, etymologically meaning roadside gossip or small talk, and held it in relative disregard.
Returning to a Chinese tradition that locates poetry at the heart of education, "Li Bai & Du Fu: An Advanced Reader of Chinese Language and Literature" offers an innovative approach to studying the writings of China's most revered classical poets. Twenty-six poems of Li and Du in the original, classical Chinese are accompanied by a short essay of analysis and appreciation in contemporary Chinese, to encourage students to assimilate the subtleties of both contemporary and classical Chinese language. Also available are biographical and historical background in both Chinese and English, exercises in translation and comprehension, and indexed vocabulary.
This book is the first complete translation of the tenth-century work Kokinshu, one of the most important anthologies of the Japanese classical tradition.
The China Scene textbook explores modern Chinese through a range of contemporary social and cultural topics, such as the market economy and private enterprise
Ni Hao, Level 2 (3rd edition) consists of a student textbook, student workbook and four audio CDs. Lessons 2 and 3 have been renamed but the content is primarily the same. Lesson 6 was eliminated. One more review lesson has been added as Lesson 5. A new section "About Pinyin and characters" has been added to this new edition. It highlights some areas that students would like to know when learning the rules of pronunciation. In the student workbook the first section of each lesson provides word recognition practices instead of listening to statements and identifying the picture as in the 2002 edition. The audio CDs cover all sections in each lesson which provide support to students for independent listening opportunities. The sections in the student textbook and workbook exercises are clearly annunciated.
1,200 informal colloquial idioms and phrases popular in China today. Includes idiomatic and literal English meanings, and examples of usage. Suitable for self-study, and developing reading skills.
