Good Chinese book?
I have been learning Chinese for almost 3 years now. I have never had a teacher, and learned through conversation with native speakers and studying on my own. I have been learning Russian as well, and have found a book that I really enjoy. It is called New Penguin Russian Course. Like it because it is well designed. The first words I am learning are personal pronouns, everyday words, and simple questions. I am not learning how to say happy birthday, sheep, mountain, and post card in chapter one, as I often am in many Chinese texts books that I have tried. I have not used Chinese texts books simply because I have never found one that I liked. If anyone knows of a Chinese text book that is well structured and really worked for them, I would be open to look into them :)

Question

Answer

I am afraid there is not such a book, You need to find a lot of  books instead. I suggest you to get two reference books at first: phonogram and grammar. Every language has their own characteristics, so it's very hard to understand all of them in one book. You could only learn a language gradually through reading, talking and writing day by day. Then one day, you suddenly find you can read most books in Chinese. Hope it could help.

Answer

Hi, Brandon, I have some text ebooks (pdf). If you need, you can message me. I downloaded them for my English friends. Would be glad to share with every language learner.
