Each lesson teaches very useful and relevant grammar, vocabulary, and characters. The practice readings and dialogues are interesting and helpful. The accompanying CDs and DVDs are entertaining (sometimes because they're genuinely good, but more often because they're so bad they're good).The grammar explanations can be difficult to understand at times, and I wish there were more English definitions for phrases that do not translate nicely. I end up having to ask my professor questions about the book pretty much every week.
I used previous editions of Practical Chinese Reader - the really old series printed on cheap paper with orange and blue covers (green with light green bamboo in the 80s) - but this one is greatly improved, with high quality paper, two color printing, and up-to-date language and situations. I do miss Palanka and Ali from the old series though. It is a good for self-study because it is not teacher dependent - vocabulary and grammar are clearly explained in each chapter and, at the lower levels, characters are given with tone markings above them, making it a excellent tool for practice reading etc.
I've used the first one and finished it and now I'm working on the second book. The CDs are clear and easy to listen to, I'm studying solo so that is pretty crucial. I also like how there are sections that emphasize certain grammatical points that you can build off of that have the CD audio as well. Definitely recommend.The customer service is also fantastic, I sent them an email about one of my orders and they responded quickly and offered great support.
Good book for studying Chinese, very good texts and well structured. Does use the simplified Chinese (Hanzi) characters
This was purchased for my daughter who is teaching herself Chinese. Although I order the wrong version originally, getting the correct version of the book was easy. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who is looking to pick up Chinese.
I bought this book used and there was a tiny bit of writing on the book but I don't really care about that. The pages were crisp and clean for the most part.
Good book. Used for self study. Clear, concise, no pinyin. No complaints.
Not the second edition as advertised.
