Features: The beneficiaries of the "Kazakh Language Course of Kazakhstan" should be learners and researchers of Kazakh. Currently, there are no systematic Cyrillic (Slavic) Kazakh language textbooks in China, so this book is suitable for various individuals whose native language is not Kazakh, as well as for ethnic Kazakh learners who do not understand Cyrillic. Some grammatical descriptions and Kazakhstani Kazakh materials in the book may also interest fellow professionals. The basic part is written according to the principle of integrated teaching, with each lesson including text, grammar, and exercises. The exercises are divided into text exercises and grammar exercises. The arrangement of grammatical content starts with the two central elements of learning Kazakh—nouns and verbs—rather than the traditional approach of a scattered grammar system in language learning. The grammatical content is relatively concentrated and is presented as much as possible in chart form to make concepts and forms clear and easy to understand. Issues that cannot be summarized are explained mainly through "notes." Due to the rushed process of textbook compilation, there may inevitably be inaccuracies, omissions, or even errors. We sincerely welcome readers' criticism and corrections.
