This set of courses is specially designed with innovative approaches for foreign students beginning to learn Chinese.
Independent from one another yet integrated into a series, there are three courses in this set: Intensive Spoken Chinese, Rapid Literacy in Chinese and The Most Common Chinese Radicals.
Beginning with pinyin only, instead of dealing with both pronunciation and character recognition, students will find the Intensive Spoken Chinese easy to master, and will be able to communicate in Chinese relatively quickly.
The concentrated training in character learning will enable students to enter fluidly into the reading stage, and attain comprehension in a relatively quick manner.
In The Most Common Chinese Radicals, students will be attracted by the rich content of culture and art embodied in Chinese characters, which, instead of being the "stumbling blocks" they have often been considered, become "magnets" drawing the students step by step into the Chinese language.
这是一套按照新的思路编写的供外国人使用的基础汉语教材。这套教材由既相对独立而又有联系的三个课本组成。
使用《口语速成》，外国学生会觉得汉语口语很容易学，他们将很快掌握与中国人进行口头交际的能力。
使用《集中识字》，外国学生将会在短期内快速提高书面阅读能力。
使用《常用汉字部首》，外国学生将不再视汉字为
“绊脚石”，他们将会被汉字的文化内涵和艺术魅力所深深吸引。
