Excerpt from A Course of Mandarin Lessons, Based on Idiom
The system of spelling has not been changed. The author has felt more and more, however, that the application of the system to the Peking dialect did not fairly represent the system in that it was not consistently carried out. After further investigation and correspondence with various parties in the north in whose judgment I had confidence I concluded to go somewhat beyond the views of the Peking friends who gave me their advice for the first edition, and make the application of the system to Pekingese consistent with itself, and in harmony with its application to other dialects. The changes consist in putting wei for ui, aen for flan, yiu for ya and yien for yen. For discussion see remarks after the Peking sound table, page 43.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and speaking Mandarin Chinese. The author, who has spent over 25 years teaching the language, presents a unique approach based on idioms, providing a natural progression for learners. Instead of relying on Western grammatical structures, the book draws directly from the colloquial language, emphasizing the significance of understanding the specific nuances of Mandarin idioms. The author argues for the inclusion of colloquial language as a necessary tool for fluent communication, challenging the notion that only formal, literary Mandarin is sufficient. This text reflects the challenges faced by missionaries and others engaged in cross-cultural communication, who were required to develop new ways of learning and teaching Mandarin in a rapidly changing world. The book's emphasis on colloquialism, as well as its use of parallel readings to compare dialects, provides a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deep understanding of this complex and evolving language.
