It is the book 陕西师大 (Shaanxi Normal University) uses to teach foreigners Chinese.<br /><br />I just did a search on Baidu.com for the book and found this link to amazon.cn's list of books:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.cn/s?rh=i:books,k:%E5%8F%91%E5%B1%95%E6%B1%89%E8%AF%AD&srclogged=1<br /><br />Hopefully that link works. Here's another link from the baidu search results:<br /><br />http://www.baidu.com/s?wd=%B7%A2%D5%B9%BA%BA%D3%EF<br /><br />The books are pretty good. They're a bit formal. I used them in conjunction with a one-on-one class where I learned more colloquial words from my teacher. I think that learning both formal and informal words is a good way to go.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967364257656897151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-11376109485933817402009-11-03T10:43:33.605-06:002009-11-03T10:43:33.605-06:00Haha...meant to say "buY"Haha...meant to say "buY"canrunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-49248190177770222352009-11-03T10:42:48.609-06:002009-11-03T10:42:48.609-06:00Did you but that book in China?

I felt exiting to know about your blog. ...Hey Mark! I felt exiting to know about your blog. It is amazing to see a people from English-speaking country sharing his experiences in China and his thoughts with others. Your articles are excellent and full of wisdom. It is like a confluence of the river of English thoughts and the river of Chinese thoughts. I really appreciate them! lol<br /><br />Just like your hard working in Chinese, I am recently struggling in IELTS exam - a worldwide English test. Writing is a really tough job for me. Learning a foreign language is never a effortless job. BTW, having a look at the photos of your Chinese textbook, I guess it is my responsibility to inform you that the articles in it is not good and kinda misleading. For example, the wording in the article "The Era of Cards" sucks and some sentences are of incorrect grammar. Furthermore, some prepositions in that article is not correctly used. It seems to me that the author of this book is not quite professional. In short, this Chinese textbook is misleading and I suggest you discard it.<br /><br />Anyway, I will keep my eyes on your well-done job!Yanling Hanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00803983529095316859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-29230772915631418382009-08-25T12:06:36.273-05:002009-08-25T12:06:36.273-05:00Are you still using paper SuperMemo.Are you still using paper SuperMemo.Fitbrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07179033168136567007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-11598024095436984002009-08-25T12:05:50.537-05:002009-08-25T12:05:50.537-05:00Could you re post the page about your beginnings w...Could you re post the page about your beginnings with SuperMemo method.

It's working for me and my friends as well.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I think I'm too entrenched into the old-school paper and notepad method of SuperMemo to change up to one on the computer. I understand that the computer ones are probably better, but this one is working well enough for me at the moment.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the studying!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967364257656897151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-30175430106591602532008-12-01T06:21:00.000-06:002008-12-01T06:21:00.000-06:00I HIGHLY recommend getting Supermemo for the Palm....I HIGHLY recommend getting Supermemo for the Palm. I'm planning on making a guide explaining how to get it all setup, but I pretty much learned Chinese by memorizing flashcards using Supermemo on the Palm (and I'm actually really happy with my level. :D) <A HREF="http://miltownkid.com/2008/08/03/the-palm-supermemo-chinese-databases/" REL="nofollow">[I only have one crappy post with the databases right now]</A> but...
