As a foreign student of Chinese I was impressed by the range and price of books from Purple Culture and would recommend them to all students...

this is great!

The content is amazing, the binding of the book not quite so good. Some of my pages have already separated from the binding....

Very good and professional service,thank you.I received my book quickly and in good shape, the book is highly recommended....

I believe this review is for "Whom Do You Like More". If so, then the book is excellent. Originally, since I have only been studying Chinese for three months, even this was daunting. However, I can get the jist of what is happening through basically skimming the pages. The audio CD is nice, just to see what the characters sound like read together, and as a comprehension test of the spoken language. Overall I am very happy with the series....

This should be essential for people trying to learn Chinese through the reading of Chinese texts. I have found it indispensible alongside a computer dictionary to find the meanings of many characters. It is well laid out and despite clear instructions on how to use the dictionary in English, it is easy enought to pick up....

Maybe the book is quite easy but good exercose anyway to improve before the KSK

Very good book. The simulation are real and the HSK 4 was very similar to the exercise in the book.

I am learning Chinese. The Chinese Talk Series is a solid reference point for useful, practical colloquial intermediate level conversation. The authors have done their homework. A variety of alternatives are always presented to say the same thing. The enunciation is clear and standard. Each book acts as an excellent bridge between beginner and intermediate levels....

Great book! Because of the rhythmic repetition, students remember content easier. This is the first book that makes teaching character recognition in a useful manner. Great game opportunites exist. One thing that might improve it a little is more variety of rhythm schemes. But still a great book. Students may not remember proper tone markings on a test, but when using this book, they instinctively know when tones to chant are said incorrectly. Chants are much more useful than songs for the teaching of tones....
