Intermediate Written Chinese is tailored to your personal Chinese language-learning goals and abilities so that you can become fluent -- as smoothly as possible!

Part of the widely-used and highly acclaimed Kubler series, the Basic Chinese and Intermediate Chinese books provide separate but integrated "tracks" to help you learn to read, write and speak Chinese efficiently, at your own pace. Some students and teachers wish to emphasize speaking ability first, whereas others want to focus on learning to read and write Chinese at the same time. These Chinese language study books allow you the flexibility to learn the spoken language and the written language with the method that best fits your needs.

This carefully designed book and CD-ROM duo will:

Teach you to use 288 high-frequency Chinese characters, and over 700 standard words written with them
Have you quickly reading and writing related Chinese sentences
Offer you the choice of learning both Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters; both are used throughout
Feature a variety of fonts in both typeset and handwritten styles, to prepare you to use the Chinese language in many different contexts -- from reading signs and newspapers, to computers and mobile phone texts
Come with hours of native-speaker recordings and practice sheets, plus printable flash cards, on the enclosed CD-ROM

Intermediate Written Chinese stands out among Chinese books and textbooks for its dynamic study system and practical exercises, which will assist you in learning Chinese quickly and comfortably.

All disc content is alternatively accessible on tuttlepublishing.com/downloadable-content.

Industry Reviews

"Outstanding for its carefully graduated presentation of material ... and perhaps most important of all, its separation of the task of learning to speak the language from the very different processes of learning to read and write Chinese characters ... The most exciting Chinese language textbook I have seen in many years." -Dr. James E. Dew, retired associate professor of Chinese, Univ. of Michigan; former Director of the Inter-University Program for Chinese Language Studies in Taipei
"A breath of fresh air ... Its dual track for spoken and written language finally gives American students a chance to develop oral proficiency without being slowed down by the character writing ... An ideal textbook for any program that seeks to advance rapidly in spoken Chinese and to fully prepare the students for their encounter with China." -Dr. Jingqi Fu, Associate Professor of Chinese, St. Mary's College of Maryland
"Contextualized so learners know not only what to say, but why, when, and with whom it is appropriate to use such language - thorough and clear - refreshing." -Dr. Matthew Christensen, Associate Professor of Chinese, Brigham Young University
"Revolutionary in its approach ... The dream of having engaged and fully-prepared students in every class is an easily reachable reality for any program that adopts this series." -Professor Cecilia Chang, Chair, Department of Asian Studies, Williams College
"Kubler's books distinguish themselves with natural, culturally-rooted dialogues, detailed notes (for both written and spoken language), generous practice activities and an amazing care for organization. These books will be valuable tools for both students and their teachers." -Prof. Eric Pelzl, Wisconsin Lutheran College
"An ingenious introduction - Basic Spoken Chinese is the finest textbook for learning Modern Standard Mandarin that I have ever encountered." -Dr. Victor H. Mair, Professor of Chinese Language and Literature, University of Pennsylvania
"The ideal material for any committed learner embarking on the journey of learning the Chinese language." -Dr. Jun Yang, Senior Lecturer in Chinese, University of Chicago
"ISC/IWC represents an ambitious attempt to work out the complex logistics involved in coordinating the two tracks with different foci and schedules ... truly 'in a league of its own...'" -The Journal of the Chinese Language Teachers Association
