Continuing Mandarin Chinese is a new intermediate-level course in Mandarin Chinese by one of the most experienced language teachers in the field. The 24 lessons in this book are carefully designed to provide 3 hours per week of class instruction over one academic year. However, the books can also be used by self-study learners due to the extensive explanations and free online supplementary materials including audio and video recordings, fl ash cards and additional readings and exercises.

Each lesson opens with a dialogue and includes a list of new and supplementary vocabulary along with questions and grammar notes about the dialogue, a reading section, and extensive exercises that can be found in the accompanying Continuing Mandarin Chinese Workbook.

Continuing Mandarin Chinese offers many advantages over other textbooks:
  • It features Colloquial everyday dialogues set in China and other Chinese-speaking regions for extensive listening and speaking practice.
  • Chinese grammar is explained in simple, non-technical terms with useful notes and tips.
  • Reading exercises are provided for all new words and phrases in every lesson.
  • Free online audio recordings by native speakers from various parts of China help you not only to acquire good pronunciation but also to understand Chinese speakers with different accents.
  • Illustrations, photos and supplementary video clips add cultural authenticity.
  • A Chinese-English dictionary is provided for easy reference.
