This unique language learning course is presented by one of the most popular Western figures in China, Da Shan, who speaks fluent Chinese just like every Chinese person in China. Based on a popular Chinese teaching television series for non-native speakers, it is a convenient alternative to classroom learning or going to China to study. The Communicate in Chinese series is comprised of a set of four books. Each text contains 40 scenarios contained within nine different lessons and one summary review. The teaching materials concentrate on spoken Chinese, which is demonstrated through situational dialogues. Each lesson is divided into three parts. The first two parts describe the dialogue and include explanations of the cultural background and language points. The third part focuses on review and contains drills of common expressions. Chinese language learners will find confidence in their speaking abilities as they gradually build on each lesson, strengthening their ability to use Chinese to communicate in daily life.
