Features: Concise and colloquial short sentences. Learning Chinese, speak and succeed. As soon as you speak, you have taken one step into the world of Chinese. You will be amazed to find: it’s easy to start, and deepening isn’t that hard either. Speaking must begin with common phrases around you. This book selects nearly 500 vivid, authentic, and practical colloquial short sentences frequently used in daily life. These sentences are set in real contexts and represent the current trends of spoken Chinese and the examination direction of the HSK listening section. The book categorizes the short sentences into 43 major groups based on daily needs, including greetings, thanks, agreements, disagreements, etc., making it easier to memorize and use flexibly. For example, when you want to thank someone, you won’t just say "thank you" but can express gratitude in more diverse and appropriate ways. Each short sentence is accompanied by two mini dialogues—one short and one long, one easy and one difficult—providing a fun and engaging way to cater to learners of different language levels. If you utilize the included CD and listen, read, imitate, and memorize it diligently, mastering the essence of spoken Chinese in a very short time is entirely possible.
