Boya chinese elementary second edition mp3 free download

How about grammar explanations and translations into English, are they an issue? I see that even in the beginner's books there is very little English, but maybe that's OK or even good?

I always carried a digital voice recorder to class. Bought it before coming to Shanghai. Works perfectly for what you want to do. IC translates the dialogs and all example sentences in the grammar sections. NPCR does neither. Lucky you! At least not yet. Maybe when I attain an "intermediate" level and qualify for the second-year class, then yes. I saw too many negative comments towards Integrated Chinese, and also, they are quite expensive.

Boya is the cheapest of all, here in the U. My only concern is that Boya may be too hard for a beginner' self-study. I decided to buy Boya and try the Starter and Pre-Intermediate volumes. Anyway, I would like to have the answer key for Boya, but if not, that's fine too. Thanks for the comments! I'm not sure about Boya, but most books also have a teachers guide. Often with answers or guides and other cool bits. My impressions are as follows:. Audio is poor e. Sound quality is average at best, and does not contain exercises or enough pauses.

I enjoy reading and am interested in Chinese history and culture - especially because such articles are generally more complex and help reinforce grammatical points and vocab usage. Also the articles are fairly lengthy e.

After CIS I was bored stiff of the format, but especially the dialogues. If you have used BOYA in conjunction with a teacher and are used to the format, and have a good grammar book for grammatical explantions like a good dictionary, essential components for learning IMO , and providing you can live with the limitations then BOYA may be a suitable alternative.

When I first started to use BOYA, the format and everything in Chinese was something akin to culture shock - especially since I had to look-up every 3rd word in a dictionary! It's now down to every 10th word or so. In summary, I feel BOYA focuses and provides for improving a different range of skills reading comprehension and an expansive vocabularly ; however, there are a number of negative points that canot be ignored that are big enough to potentially disuade someone wishing to use BOYA for self-study.

I'd would recommend a different set of textbooks for structured learning for beginning - elementary levels if self-study , and switch to BOYA once your Chinese is at a sufficient level where you feel comfortable with no English at all.

Unfortunately, I believe that the gap between beginners and elementary is too big. Fine for Intermediate level, but switching from Green to Blue is a chasm. Thank you very much, putonghua73 , your comments are amazing and very helpful! I'd like to answer in kind, but no time yet Probably there is just no such thing as an easy textbook of Chinese.

There are going to be gaps, chasms, "bad" translations, inadequate grammar explanations, poor sound recordings for my ear etc. New Practical Chinese Reader.
