My Chinese language learning journey and Chinese Language trends. Includes; Chinese Language study resources, Current news about Chinese Mandarin, Tips for learning Chinese and other languages, Chinese Grammar, Links to Web based Chinese Learning Resources and Information and much, much more.
I don’t use supplementary text books often enough. I do have a very good Basic Chinese A Grammar and Workbook published by Routledge. Click on the picture to find out more details.
Basic Chinese A Grammar and Workbook
It is only now that I am beginning to appreciate some of the intricacies of Mandarin Grammar. To be really honest I at my level I find some of the Chinese Grammar too good to be true. Of course I am comparing it to German Grammar, Japanese Grammar and English Grammar. It may just be my level of Chinese, but I am really finding it easy…too easy. Each chapter of Basic Chinese A Grammar and Workbook has very simple easy to understand explanations and a then a series of exercises to test your understanding. Of course answers at the back to check. Perhaps one of the reasons I don’t use it much is that it seems a bit low-tech too. I tend to use online dictionaries, Chinese teaching and learning websites and Youtube for explanations and to deepen understanding. However as I am always looking for ways to improve my learning techniques I am going to make an effort to use my grammar book more often over the next month.
