Intermediate Chinese Reader, Part I - Yale Language Series

A sequel to "Beginning Chinese," this work is closely correlated with the author's "Beginning Chinese", "Advanced Chinese" and the character versions of these two texts.

All compounds appear in illustrative sentences, in dialogues as a means of audio-lingual reinforcement, and in narrative or expository form. Supplementary lessons present reading material using the simplified characters adopted in mainland China. In two volumes, Part I and Part II.
