• For each new word, in addition to a pinyin transcription and an English explanation, parts of speech and examples of useage are also provided.
• Each lesson integrates an array of exercises and activities in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and typing Chinese.
• Character components are illustrated; explanations of language points are simple, precise and practical.
