Integrated Chinese: Level 1, Part 2 (Traditional & Simplified Character) Character Workbook (Chinese Edition)
The Character Workbooks are designed to help the student learn Chinese characters in their correct stroke order. In the Level 1 workbooks, stroke order for each new character is displayed, along with its pinyin pronunciation and English translation. Character boxes allow students to practice writing the characters. The Level 2 Character workbook, in addition to stroke order, presents example sentences to illustrate word usage in context. The Level 2 Character workbook includes both simplified and traditional character forms. Four useful appendices are included in the Level 2 Character workbook: A list of proper nouns and measure words; an English-Chinese glossary that includes all vocabulary in Levels 1 and 2; a Chinese character index that lists all characters appearing in Levels 1 and 2; and the simplified-form example sentences that appear in traditional characters throughout the bookÂ’s text.

Review by B. Blubaugh for Integrated Chinese: Level 1, Part 2 (Traditional & Simplified Character) Character Workbook (Chinese Edition)
Rating:
…but quality is very poor. Volume of the speakers fluctuates, sound quality is very poor, and the occasional vocabulary word being read by a different speaker lead to my dissappointment. It is far too expensive considering these quality flaws. But, this CD is necessary if you are using the Integrated Chinese textbook to study on your own, as it will provide the proper pronounciation using the words and dialogues in the textbook (the textbook itself is excellent). There are home-made podcasts for Chinese language students that are far better quality…and free.

The cd’s are good but the speakers tend to speak fast. It’s hard when starting to keep up. They include everything they say they have in the books.

The characters are printed very clearly and neatly, however, there aren’t enough practice boxes. The practice boxes with the dark dotted lines are also difficult to practice with (can’t see what you write)

The audio is choppy and sometimes hard to understand. Speakers sometimes speak fast on all speeds whether slow, regular, or fast. Also speakers have different accents and makes for inconsistent pronunciation.

if you don’t need to buy this, don’t. it’d be much nicer to have an interactive graphical and audio tool. it’s hard to follow and not friendly for learning in this format. also the speakers tend to speak with a more neutralish tone.
