HSK Standard Course 1 - Textbook

Standard workbook for me everything I need in stage oneEasy to read easy to follow contents as I would expect

This is ideal for beginners who are just starting to learn the mandarin language. Plenty ways to practice throughout the book and perfect for those who are looking to take the HSK tests as this provides all key aspects of level 1

The contents are fine but with no CD it is too expensive.I have now spend a day with this and have revised my opinion.I am on a Mac and now realise that it is possible to download the files via iCloud (one at a time) and that the material that is missing from chapter one is covered in later chapters and in my opinion really very well. (Chapter one only has the first two files).I now don't feel quite so resentful about the price and feel quite positive about my potential progress!

This is a brilliant book for myself as a Mandarin Chinese tutor and as well as for my pupil.It provides all the info needed for non-native speakers and explains a lot of language/cultural differences well.If you are looking to learn Mandarin Chinese, this is the book to get. :)

Excellent textbook. Works best with tutor input. Early edition had a CD. Now comes with a download from the back of book

Value for money! And it adequately prepares you for the HSK exam. This book is also used by my local Confucius Institute, and my chinese teacher has approved of this book.

Great way to learn. I've finished this, passed my hsk level 1 and now I'm onto book 2

is printed of very thin soft paper
