Advanced Spoken Chinese (3rd Edition) vol.1

This spoken Chinese series can be considered a classic. It has been well received by the Chinese learners as well as teachers. Two revised editions and dozens of reprints have been produced since its first publication in 1996.

This series has nine volumes in 3 levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced. Each lesson consists of texts, notes, languages points and exercises, etc. Three to five lessons are grouped into a unit, at the last part of which useful oral expressions, tips or cultural notes are presented.

Features:
◇Carefully selected learning materials applicable in daily communication;
