Reading & Writing Simplified Chinese
This book meets my needs in learning Chinese. It is geared for the English -speaking learner . It is still confusing in its specifications, but I think Chinese are hard pressed to think like an intuitive Enlish reader would think. But all in all it helps the more advanced after Tuttle to gain some more knowledge. I would recommend for anyone.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
