Mandarin Grammar (Quick Study Academic)

A few months ago, I decided to learn a new language. The deal is, some of that new language crosses over into Chinese - there's similarities in pronunciation. So, I purchased this to help me quickly reference/refer and help keep me focused. This way I can learn about the similarities, and differences, and (hopefully) build the language skills more effectively.

the writer has a talent for precision and clarity. she is obviously expert in English and Mandarin - only someone who is could write something like this. everyone - not just those who want to study Chinese, should buy the two - grammar and vocabulary - barcharts. we are all going to have to get some understanding of the language (the Chinese already have - marketing people know that the PRC, of all countries, has the largest number of English speakers). this and the vocabulary edition provide a painless and reassuring base for learning Mandarin. everything a student of Mandarin learns will branch from the information in these guides. i am so relieved i could get this (and the Mandarin vocabulary edition).

Chinese grammar is not complex, but it is different than English grammar. Therefore, a simple fold out guide containing all the main issues on 6 pages is tremendously useful. Pronunciation, pinyin, parts of speech and their functions along with sentence structure as well as the component parts of Chinese characters are all highlighted in this laminated chart. It is proving to be very useful for me. Definitely worth the cost for anyone learning Chinese.

it is great to learn grammar and pronunciation, but most of it is in traditional chinese which wasn't described in the product description. i loved the vocabulary bar chart, and this is great with it. But, i now have to look up every character on there to see the simplified characters, which is going to not be an easy task. Also it wont be great for me to look back on for reference if i forget the simplified version of the character. The grammar is great, but i wish it had the same thing as the vocabulary one: ( both kinds of characters). i know it would have taken more space and it sames more room for more grammar but i thought most of mainland china uses simplified. thankfully, many of the characters are the same for both simplified and traditional and the grammar doesn't change but to be sure on characters i will have to look each one up and make notes for each page which will cause clutter in this nice pamphlet. grammar is good but the new vocab isn't good for simplified chinese. but, i will/would keep/recommend this for the grammar.

Have all 3 of them each is good

I studied Mandarin Chinese many many years ago and I forgot a lot of things about the grammar even about certain words and this little chart here inside of my binder helps me remember all the things that I forgot 10 years ago I would recommend this for any beginner intermediate and even sometimes advance just in case I'm fine you do forget things at the same as in English when you forget How to spell something

Condenses 4 years of Chinese Mandarin grammar studies into six pages. Invaluable. If you want to truly master and understand Chinese Mandarin sentence structure, this is the fastest guide. Reduces confusion about how to compose and express things correctly in Chinese sentence, like the way native speakers would speak. So glad someone put this together and published it.

I've been learning Chinese for about 5 years. At first glance at this chart there were several things that were new to me and would have been useful if I had learned them sooner. It's easy to use and the fact that you can refer back to it any time without having to do a lot of searching makes it wonderful!

it is great but a bit confusing as there are both traditional and simplified characters. A bit difficult to read as the size of the letters a bit small.

I am in contact both @ work as co-workers. And customers. It helps me know the basic phrases to use when helping someone. Or simply saying "HI".

Excelente calidad y a muy buen precio

This chart provides a useful overview of pronunciation, writing, and grammar, e.g. syntax, bǎ and bèi constructions resp., aspect particles, prepositions and postpositions. As one reviewer already noticed, the example sentences or sentence fragments use traditional characters. Not a problem in something like 英文容易。, but a little more pronounced in something like 我是中国人。 vs. 我是中國人 or 他在哪儿？ vs. 他在哪兒？However, I found it manageable and interesting.

A useful complement to the variety of books I have purchased to help me learn Mandarin
