Integrated Chinese, Level 2: Workbook

Rating:
Summary: Need to Format
Review: The content is excellent. I like how they present chinese idioms. This workbook contains many disturbing technical errors. The simplified and traditional versions of the passages do not always contain the same characters (certain characters are deleted for no apparent reason). Some of the simplified characters were not simplified properly. There is not enough room to complete answers. The text is too small. It is hard for people learning chinese to learn a particular character when it so small.

Summary: A superior course to fluency in Chinese
Review: The Integrated Chinese series is an excellent textbook. When combined with the audio lessons and practical application, it becomes a full college level course in language learning. The series combines a balanced amount of new vocabulary and grammar patterns. Plenty of examples and dialogues are used to illustrate the use of new vocabulary and grammar. At level 2, the book integrates the traditional and simplified Chinese characters as well.
