Product Description
Since its release, Integrated Chinese has become the leading introductory Chinese textbook at colleges and universities around the world. The course works because it provides coordinated practice in all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Integrated Chinese helps learners understand how the Chinese language functions grammatically, and how to use Chinese in real life--how to understand it on the street, speak it on the telephone, read it in the newspaper, or write it in a report. Now this completely expanded and revised second edition contains updated, contemporary situations, new cultural notes, student-friendly grammar explanations, and an exciting new two-color design that makes learning and teaching even easier!

Good solid textbook series September 21, 2008

Integrated Chinese is the good old reliable of chinese text series. Good for studying on your own and good for a class. Its integrated series of support material -- video, audio, workbooks -- is what really separates it from the field.

I ordered the Level 1 simplified textbook and workbook from the same supplier, and the textbook has STILL not arrived after 2-3 weeks. I couldn't find any way to contact the supplier other than this. I NEED the book for an upcoming class quiz. I'm willing to delete this review if I can get it before this weekend.
My address is

Please send it promptly!

Y unfortunely ordered integrated chinese level 1 part 2. This was incorrect so I reordered level 1 part 1 which is what I needed. I immediately returned the first book, however with out sales slip which I had lost. The Kentucky office, where I was told to send it, held it for several weeks until the 30 days had expired. Yesterday I received the book back stating I had not purchased the book from them. I have used no one else besides Amazon,com. I also noticed my order had been taken out of the computer. I now have a book I cannot use nor do I want. Therefore please take my e-mail off your mailing list as I will not be ordering from you again. We start Chinese 1 and 2 june 12. All students will need new books but they will be advised not to buy from your company. I will try to find a place locally or elsewhere.
Best Mandarin learning book February 26, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I started learning Mandarin with the Pimsleur series then moved to learning out of books and this is by far the best choice that I have seen so far. It gives clear explainations of grammar, you learn a lot of new vocabulary in each section and there are good dialoges in the beginning of every section. The vocabulary is up to date that includes words for even popular soda brands like Coke and Sprite. I yet to see a better Mandarin learning course.
very good for an introduction January 28, 2008

I studied Beginning Mandarin at the Northwest China Council offices in Portland, Oregon. This was the textbook used in the class and it was good, not outstanding. What helped a lot was the accompanying CD, to drill on pronunciation. Our instructor was from mainland China. I should also mention the accompanying character workbook which I would unhesitatingly award five stars. The only other text I've encountered is one called Practical Audio-Visual Chinese, which at this point I would grudgingly award two stars because it is difficult to get into. This text is used in a different Mandarin Chinese class in Portland. What alarmed me is that the numeral characters in PA-VC are entirely different than what I learned from IC. I went online to several sources and was relieved to find that all of the numeral characters were what I learned from IC, so it appears to me that the PA-VC is likely reflecting the Taiwanese style of Mandarin. I'm not about to learn another new system of numeral characters so I'll be asking my instructor about this. So far the speech seems to be exactly the same.
