Schaum's Outline of Chinese Grammar (Schaum's Outlines)

The aim of Chinese Grammar is to simplify learning and enrich the student's knowledge of Chinese grammar. It is the companion volume to Chinese Vocabulary. Schaum's Outline of Chinese Grammar is intended to assist the beginning and intermediate student of Mandarin (hereafter referred to as Chinese) as a supplement to other textbook and class materials, and as a reference grammar. Chinese morphology can be daunting to students. By comparison with English, a tonal language like Chinese may seem very mandarin indeed. But at the same time, these forms adhere rigidly to a system of relative simplicity, which lends itself well to explanation in the form of a Schaum's Outline. This morphology will be presented in a manner both concise and systematic so that the student may consult it on particular points of difficulty or use it to tackle the subject as a whole. The Outline will explain everything a student needs to begin a study of Chinese Grammar. The book will provide an accessible summary of the major features of Chinese Grammar with explanations written for language students at the secondary and post-secondary level and exercises for practical review Confusing Textbooks?
