Practical Chinese Reader, Books 1 & 2: Writing Workbook (Traditional Character Edition) (C & T Asian Language/Workbook)

This is the revised and expanded writing workbook companion to the traditional character edition of the Beijing Language Institute's highly successful Practical Chinese Reader Books 1 and 2. In learning to write Chinese characters, the four elements of the characters--strokes, number of strokes, sequence of strokes and proportions--are important not only aesthetically but for mnemonic purposes as well. This book provides a thorough and effective tool for writing practice. Both the textbook and the companion writing workbook are designed for foreign learners of modern Mandarin Chinese at the secondary and university level, and this writing workbook can also be used as a writing supplement for any beginning-level student of Chinese.
