i need you guys help

you must start at the newbie lesson before going to intermediate and advance. the most common to teach is the vocabulary accent.

Sounds good, I need the practice! Take care.

hmm,i am thinking next time we should talk to see that how good is your chinese!!

huami's greeting

Hi huami! So glad you like it here, hope you can stay and encourage us all to use more Chinese in our posts! It's so nice to have a native speaker spending time with us!

To be honest I've never used NPCR so I can't compare the two. Really though, I believe that when you're teaching, a very important part is you! It's all about the rapport (和睦关系) you can make with your student, how well you communicate, how patient and encouraging you can be! If you can do those things, 那是最重要的！

wow,i am so lucky to sign up this website and meet you ppl,thank you for your recommends!!i really dont know which book should i choose if without your recommend.

and i already find the book,NPCR.it contain 6 or 7 series;

by the way,看图说话，what do you think best if compared with NPCR?

Hey Tal, I used these books as well when I first came to China; seemed to be more authentic 'Chinese' (culture-wise) compared to ones I'd been exposed to in Australia (eg. Integrated Chinese published in the US - only the oldies will remember this). But in Australia it seems the NPCR has taken over as the preferred text. Integrated Chinese does not have a lot to recommend it now, but I learnt a lot from it, and it did have both simplified and traditional character sets in the same text - clever layout.

And I liked those explanations in both Chinese in English in the ones you linked to.

Hi huami - of course I don't mind answering your questions! I first heard of that book from 2 foreign friends of mine who were also in China. They were having lessons from a Chinese teacher who was using that series of books with them. I was busy with work so I just studied the book at home in my spare time, I also bought the tapes and listened to them a lot. My Chinese was pretty simple at that time, I guess I'd say I was then at elementary level, whereas now I'd generally consider myself an intermediate level student.

There's a companion series of 2 books called 看图说话 which I also used and also recommend to all, they contain some wonderful and hilarious dialogues and stories which I still fondly recall, as well as teaching many useful words and phrases.

oh,hehe, ありがとう！we just learned this simple words recently.

means 加油啊~

haha,though i dont know what is the characters mean,but i could pronounce them already!good for me.lol

Hope it gets really interesting then!　がんばって～　p(^^)q

hey,tal,i still get a question,hmm,the book you remcommented.did you learn from teacher or you just learn it by yourself?when you learn this book,which level were you?

hope you wont mad abt my series questions,hehe,thank you very much!

good luck everyay!

hehe,now my school starts teach us japanese every week,it is kinda interesting and not that hard.

Hi huami

When I came to China in 2004 I used to study those books quite a lot, (that was before I discovered Chinesepod!) The content is a little old-fashioned compared to CPod, but I still feel I learned so much from them, especially the explanations of grammar points and the correct writing of characters. The first books in the series are very good for beginners I still feel, and for you the good thing would be that all the explanations and comments are in both English and Chinese!

I guess Tal has used them. I'm in Japan so all the (very boring, can't recommend any really) textbooks I've used are for Japanese learners.

ah,i c,silly hua mi,lol;

so is that the book you have learned before?

Huami the blue, underlined text are links (in my comment also). Click on those to see!

oh,which one?NPCR?

i appreciate your help,i will check abt NPCR and PAVC,you just give me aid,thank you very much.

well,that is one of way to make money,hehe,so why cant i catch this chance?

but i am still thank you for your suggestion.
