Author of several textbooks and teaching materials on the Chinese language. This edition presents a practical course in Chinese that covers the vocabulary, grammar, and phonetics of the language.

Each lesson provides the necessary volume of vocabulary and grammar, as well as practical exercises for practicing and consolidating the material covered, with keys at the end of the manual. The author's methodology aims for students to be able to speak on the given topic, as well as read and write texts of intermediate complexity by the end of each lesson. The study of grammar starts with the simplest topics and becomes more complex from lesson to lesson. All rules are reflected in both the texts and the exercises.
