5 Stars Great text book, difficult to fit into a single semester-
I just finished a semester of Chinese using this book, and am on the one hand impressed, and on the other hand exhausted. Li laoshi and Wang laoshi teach on all aspects of modern Chinese culture, and provide students with excellent vocabulary and exercises, but at a pace that requires hours of daily study and application. I recommend it–the stories are hilarious, the grammar well explained, and the practice exercises useful–but you must be serious in your studies. To study this book well, at its intended pace, you must be willing to change your daily habits, and orient a goodly portion of your life around this little red book;)
