Situational Chinese – Beverly Hong, 1988, Beijing, New World Press, 2nd ed., Paperback, Page: 336, Format: 221 x 150mm, Set Weight: 563g, Edition: Unspecified! Condition: close to perfect!
+ 2 audio cassettes and their high-quality digitization in WMA format (44 kHz, 320 kbps). 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 costs US $14, and delivery to the Republic of Kazakhstan is US $7! (450 x 20 = 9000 tenge)
