Situational Chinese + 2 sound cassettes

Situational Chinese + 2 sound cassettes – Beverly Hong, 1988, Beijing, New World Press, 2nd edition, soft cover, p.: 336, format: 150 x 221 mm, circulation: not specified! + 2 audio cassettes and 1 CD with high-quality digitalization in WMA format (44 kHz, 320 kbit/sec). Condition: excellent!

The dialogues are perceived as “theater at the microphone”, they are so emotional and natural!

Review of the kit in the English-language press:
“It is a real shame that this book is getting hard to find. After over thirty years as a student of Chinese I have not found a better book for the colloquial language. The book purports to be a beginning primer, and it’s true that it covers the grammar (although admittedly this is done better in other books), but the book’s real glory is its dialogues, which are neither too basic or recondite, but full of the kind of colloquialisms that occur every day in speaking but are so hard to pinpoint when you’re learning a foreign language. Even advanced students will find material to review and learn in this book.
Hopefully, Amazon will be able to stock this item again. Maybe (Buddha forbid!) it’s permanently out of print. If you run across a copy in the Chinese bookstores in San Francisco or New York (I found mine in New York’s Chinatown), then buy it immediately without wasting time on further deliberation. The book is a gem.”

On Amazon, the book alone cost US $14, and shipping to Kazakhstan was US $7! (450 x 20 = 9,000 tenge)
