The #1 Chinese self-study course on the market has been updated and revised in this second edition!

• 10 practical lessons with dialogues, vocabulary, and exercises
• New audio CDs featuring professional actors from Beijing
• Updated cultural and language notes

Spoken by over 850 million people world-wide, Mandarin Chinese is the standard dialect for business and trade in China, one of the six official languages of the United Nations, and the world's most widely spoken language. Mandarin is also a useful study tool for students of the Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Tibetan languages, all of which have strong cultural roots in Chinese.
