| Chinese For Everyone is a specially designed teach-yourself proficiency programme aimed at those seeking a concise introduction to the Chinese language. It caters for both native and non-native speakers of English with practically no background in Chinese, thus making it uniquely bilingual.
Adopting an innovative and effective approach, the language is taught through a series of carefully-graded lessons, starting with the simpler and leading to the more difficult. The lessons are based on a wide range of topics, reflecting the spoken and written forms of the language and its grammar.
Regular revision exercises, complete with answers in the appendix, have been included to consolidate the lessons taught. The Chinese words used in the texts and exercises have been spelt according to the hanyu pinyin system (an alphabetical transliteration), especially useful for those not familiar with Chinese characters.
Written in a highly readable style, this guide should be suitable for anyone aspiring to learn the Chinese language quickly amidst the various time constraints of today’s fast-paced world.
