Customer Reviews

it is a good course

Ultime Chinese is a great course to learn Chinese. It shows you how to write Chinese characters in a slow form and their usage in sentences which help you to learn in a more effective way. In addition, the book uses every day vocabulary and grammar notes which give you the opportunity to learn the language faster. It is a great course for a beginner-intermediate level of the language.

A very good book

A very good book for a beginner. You'll get to know some useful phrases and the grammar behind it.

A good start.

This is a good, thorough introduction to spoken Mandarin Chinese. The dialogues contain pertinent, everyday vocabulary, there is enough grammar to make it possible to comprehend how the sentences are constructed. There are two sets of CD tracks for each lesson. One set helps you practice the dialogues and vocabulary, and the other explains grammar, although I would recommend reading the full grammar explanations in the chapters as well as listening to the recorded ones. I find this book and CD set pleasant to use and easy to follow.
