The workbook is especially interesting and helpful.\" ―Chauncey C. Chu, University of Florida\n\". . . by far the best first-year textbooks available.\" ―Sabina Knight, Smith College\n\nConnections I \u0026amp; II is the second-year sequence to accompany the enormously popular introductory texts Interactions I \u0026amp; II by Margaret Yan and Jennifer Li-chia Liu. This innovative system makes learning Chinese an interactive, cognitive process rather than a matter of simple rote or drill. Connections is designed to offer intermediate learners of Chinese a complete set of learning tools to improve their language skills and enhance their understanding of Chinese culture and society. Lesson topics revolve around everyday themes and real-world communication among four central characters―a mainland Chinese, a Taiwanese, a Chinese American, and a non-Chinese American―familiar to students using Interactions. Each 10-chapter volume is accompanied by a workbook. Chapters include sections on vocabulary, text, mini-dialogue, characters, grammar, and culture notes, accompanied by engaging graphics. Connections also includes stories and songs, and makes use of a wide variety of texts such as narrative, dialogue, journal entries, riddles, jokes, news headlines, and lyrics.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 025321663X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.025321663X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Liu, Jennifer Li-chia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
