Hedonologist Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Has anyone else used to series 'Chinese in steps'? It is a 4 volume textbook series and I find that it has been very useful in helping me learn Chinese, especially written. It has 20 words per lesson, equating to 200 per book and 800 over the series. I found that this was a very good course for beginners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguaholic Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Hi HedonologistI have never heard of this series. I personally used books like: Boya Chinese, Remembering the Hanzi (From J.W. Heisig), Zhongguohua and now I am using a book from Wolfgang Behr and R. Gassmann called, "Antikchinesisch" which is about literary (Classical Chinese). I have plenty of other books at home.

pandandesign Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I haven't heard of the series before. When did it publish? Who's wrote the series? I would like to check it out because it sounds like a good series to refresh my Chinese language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaZero Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 No I have not heard of it but do you happen to have more information on it? I might purchase one so that my cousins can learn Chinese without me having to always be there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polaroidsredwine Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I'd also like to learn more about this series. I think I'll have a go into looking it up.I personally used books like: Boya Chinese, Remembering the Hanzi (From J.W. Heisig)I absolutely despise Remembering the Hanzi. Heisig just adapted it from the kanji edition for Japanese, and it just loses so much of the usefulness from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedonologist Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chinese-Steps-Student-Book-Vol/dp/1907838104There is the amazon link tot he exact book I'm referring to. However, if you live in the UK you can purchase it from some of the larger waterstones stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
