Chinese 2008 is a series of compact handbooks for practical Chinese communication. It includes 5 separate books: "Basic Chinese," "Daily Chinese," "Travel Chinese," "Sports Chinese," and "Transportation Chinese." The series has been developed on the basis of real life in contemporary China during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Its goal is to provide instant help to readers in their everyday communication during visits or business travel to China. In addition, it can serve as a textbook for short-term adult training programs. Each book has 20 lessons with four parts each: "Basic Sentences," "Dialogues," "Additional Expressions," and "Tips." This series includes 600 frequently used Chinese sentences, and 300 situational conversations as well as some background knowledge about Chinese culture.  Printed as small paper-backs, the books are convenient and easy to carry. Accompanying MP3 CD helps the readers by letting them listen to the phrases being studied.
