Grammar of the Chinese Language for Beginners

This book by Xu Jingnin, a teacher at Peking University and author of Chinese language textbooks, will help to understand the complexities of Chinese grammar even for those who have tried unsuccessfully many times before. The proven author's methodology aims... for the learner to actively use their knowledge in speech, strive to analyze the knowledge gained, and work with the material independently. This is facilitated by 20 sections of the book, which include many exercises in listening, reading, writing, and translation. Xu Jingnin combines deep grammar study with an accessible presentation format. This approach is relevant for serious study of a foreign language with the aim of applying knowledge in practice.
