Integrated Chinese, Level 1, Part 2
Tao-cung Yao

Cheng & Tsui Company, 2005

Disappointing

As the other reviewer noted, this is a poor quality production, particularly in light of how many institutions make use of these materials. Here are a list of my criticisms: 1) There are only two speakers throughout the series, thus students only get exposed to two voices. Additionally, those ...
  
  











  



  
Integrated Chinese, Level 1 Part 2
