Self-study Guide. Chinese Language for Beginners. Third Revised Edition + Audio Course

The Chinese language is significantly different from the Indo-European languages we are accustomed to, so it is very important to master the basics at the first stage and understand how the language is structured, so that further learning will not... cause any difficulties. The textbook you hold consists of lessons that detail the fundamentals of the Chinese language, describing many of its nuances and subtleties. The phonetic material allows you to work on the most challenging aspects of pronunciation, and in the sections on characters, you will find detailed etymology of the graphemes and become acquainted with all their writing variants. Each lesson is equipped with assignments, exercises, and handwriting practice that allow you to reinforce the studied material, engaging various aspects of memory. The audio course, voiced by a native speaker, will help you master the Chinese pronunciation, which is quite unusual to our ears. As is well known, in the Chinese language, the meaning of a word or an entire phrase often depends on intonation. The author of the textbook, Milena Karlova, has been teaching the Chinese language for many years and is the creator of her own methodology. She has incorporated her knowledge, based on serious scientific works and extensive practice, into a simple and convenient teaching form, making the Chinese language accessible to everyone! In the 3rd revised edition, you will find new dialogues with translations, more detailed comments on phonetics, and additional vocabulary. In the new audio course, assignments on characters have been voiced. You can download the audio course via the QR code or by following the link https://clck.ru/ZNfsP .
