Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The five stories in this series have enjoyed wide popularity in China, their themes frequently reappearing in operas, movies, and paintings, and in many literary forms. Profusely illustrated and presented in simplified character form, they add an element of enjoyment to the hard task of mastering Chinese characters. Each self-contained reader is correlated with the lessons of Beginning Chinese Reader by John DeFrancis (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1963). The stories can, of course, be read by students who are learning Chinese from other beginning reading texts. The following study aids are provided in each reader to facilitate individual study and increase recognition of simplified characters: -STROKE INDEX OF CHARACTERS: new characters not yet covered in the corresponding lessons of Beginning Chinese Reader, and simplified characters with their regular variants. -NOTES: new characters, terms, and structures with translations of more difficult phrases (in sequential order). -PINYIN INDEX: cumulative glossary.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This character version of Beginning Chinese has been prepared for use by both students and teachers. It can function as the starting point in the study of Chinese, as an introduction to characters after the same material has been mastered in transcript form, or as a supplement to Beginning Chinese Reader. (The latter, now in preparation, is designed specifically as a reader and hence is based on quite different principles.).…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. "DeFrancis's book is first rate. It entertains. It teaches. It demystifies. It counteracts popular ignorance as well as sophisticated (cocktail party) ignorance. Who could ask for anything more? There is no other book like it. . It is one of a kind, a first, and I would not only buy it but I would recommend it to friends and colleagues, many of whom are visiting China now and are adding 'two-week-expert' ignorance to the two kinds that existed before. This is a book for everyone." --Joshua A. Fishman, research professor of social sciences, Yeshiva University, New York "Professor De Francis has produced a work of great effectiveness that should appeal to a wide-ranging audience. It is at once instructive and entertaining. While being delighted by the flair of his novel approach, the reader will also be led to ponder on some of the most fundamental problems concerning the relations between written languages and spoken languages. Specifically, he will be served a variety of information on the languages of East Asia, not as dry pedantic facts, but as appealing tidbits that whet the intellectual appetite. The expert will find much to reflect on in this book, for Professor DeFrancis takes nothing for granted." --William S.Y. Wang, professor of linguistics, University of California at Berkeley.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. This text is the second in a series of three closely integrated volumes of spoken Chinese for use at the high-school and college levels.  Intermediate Chinese presents dialogues on everyday topics together with analysis of anticipated points of difficulty for the student and numerous sentences illustrating the usage of all new words and grammar.The book consists of four units, with six lessons each.  The first five lessons of each unit contain new material; the sixth reviews the preceding five.  The review lessons contain a variety of drills, with no two lessons having exactly the same types of exercises.  All the main lessons, however, contain the following divisions:-Dialogues (in Chinese)-Sentences for New Words and Grammar (in Chinese)-Review Sentences (in Chinese)-Monologue (in Chinese)-Questions (in Chinese)-Dialogue (English translation)-Sentences for New Words and Grammar (English translation)-Review Sentences (English translation)-Notes (in English) Like its predecessor, Beginning Chinese, this work is aimed at secondary school and college levels. In pinyin romanization, the dialogue-form lessons are supplemented by exercises, notes, and a combined glossary and index covering all the new tiems introduced in the dialogues. The first two lessons review all of Beginning Chinese, and every sixth lesson is a thorough review of the preceding five. A hundred illustrations compliment the text. Mr. DeFrancis, research professor of Chinese at Seton Hall University, compiled Intermediate Chinese under contract with the U.S. Office of Education. Yale Linguistic Series, 7.
