Chinese Link: Beginning Chinese, Simplified Character Version, Level 1/Part 2 provides a practical, enjoyable language and cultural learning experience for beginning students of Chinese. It explains grammar points clearly and systematically, yet not in a fashion that would be overwhelming to beginners. The textbook presents both traditional (complex) and simplified versions of Chinese characters, since learners will encounter both forms during their course of study or in travel abroad.
