Book Description
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 book's text.

 Terrible Quality! April 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The sound quality of these CDs is terrible. There's a lot of hiss, and the voices are muffled. I can't beleive they're selling these to the public! If you have to get these discs for class - there are many sources on the Internet where you can get the material on these discs for free.
good but a little hard. April 13, 2008
When I think about it I should've got the first book.
I also got the cd and tapes, but it don't say the words or the meaning of the words so it's very hard to understand.

These audio CD's are an excellent enhancement to the Textbook, workbook and character workbook for Integral Chinese. Particularly students learning independently will find these CD's essential to hearing proper pronunciation and tones. The system utilised by this combination of written and aural resources is very effective in gaining a mastery of spoken and written Chinese (including both simplified and traditional characters).
Learn it! February 21, 2008
This is the new standard for learning Chinese, and it works. Most decent Chinese language programs in universities are using the Integrated Chinese method. If you are taking the course in university, buy the CDs as a companion. If you are learning independently, you need to hear the language, and these CDs are effective. Good product.
the CHARACTER workbook is excellent January 28, 2008

It appears that most of the reviewers were writing about the TEXTbook, not the character workbook. I gave the textbook four stars in a separate review and the accompanying CDs are a must. I purchased the textbook, a workbook, and the character workbook for 2 classes I attended at the Northwest China Council offices in Portland, Oregon. The characters are presented in very large type, and the "stroke order" is illustrated in detail. The set of 40 basic radicals are presented first as a basis on which to learn. It seems like a very sensible and helpful introduction to Mandarin characters. I copied the characters onto my own "flashcards" to carry around, but those can be purchased thru the Cheng & Tsui publishers.
