| A Guide to
Proper Usage of Spoken Chinese
is intended as a companion reference work to Chinese textbooks for beginners.
Over 200 points of grammar and vocabulary which frequently present difficulties
to students of Chinese are dealt with here. Specifically, a comparative approach
has been adopted. Contextual comparisons are made between the different usage of
Chinese and English in terms of grammatical as well as vocabulary points.
Since its publication in 1989, A Guide to Proper Usage of Spoken Chinese
has been well received by learners and teachers of beginning Chinese. This
simplified Chinese edition, based on the second edition of the book published in
1992, is produced for the convenient use of students who are used to reading
simplified Chinese characters.
