The Journey to the West, Books 19, 20 and 21
This book contains the full text of the 19th, 20th and 21st stories in our Journey to the West series for people learning to read Chinese. The three stories told here are unchanged from our original versions except for minor editing and reformatting.In The Angry Monkey, the Buddhist monk Tangseng has harsh words for his eldest disciple, the monkey king Sun Wukong. This argument leads to a case of mistaken identity and an earthshaking battle across heaven and the underworld. In The Burning Mountain, the travelers' path is blocked by a huge blazing mountain. They learn that Sun Wukong himself caused the fire five centuries earlier, and the travelers must discover how to extinguish the blaze so they can continue their journey. And in The Rain of Blood, An evil rainstorm of blood covers a city and defiles a beautiful Buddhist monastery. Tangseng and his disciples find two fish-demons drinking wine and gambling in the top floor of the monastery's pagoda. This leads to an epic underwater confrontation with their boss, a powerful dragon king. The stories are written, as much as possible, using the 1200 word vocabulary of HSK4 plus several hundred additional words introduced in these books and earlier books in the series. They are presented in Simplified Chinese characters and pinyin, and include an English version and complete glossary. Free audio versions are available for free on YouTube's Imagin8 Press channel and on our website, www.imagin8press.com.

Chinese Syntax Tree Diagram
Some people say that Chinese does not have grammar, as a Chinese word may be a noun, a verb, an adjective or an adverb in many cases without conjugation, inflection, derivation nor even the preposition. However, Chinese syntax has many similarities with English as an isolating language, whose word order is more obligatory than inflected or agglutinative languages. Moreover, because of the ideograph, which expresses a morpheme indifferent of the parts of speech, the word order is stricter than English. Chinese words are fundamentally monosyllabic, the same as English original words such as "head", "arm", "go", "come". Being monosyllabic, the verb may combine easily and even a short sentence may be more complex than in English. In this work, we try to verify the hypothesis that though the grammar varies, every human language is based on the universal sentence structure restricted by the space-time cognition.

From the preface of the Author...(...) When I started to learn Korean in Italy I could not find any textbook able to help me to fully understand the contemporary society and when I first set foot in Korea I felt really lost. I wish someone had taken my hand and shown me all the things that I came to know after years of direct experience. I also tried to be very objective in the exposition of the material: it happens often that the passion for Korea causes people (especially young girls) to have an idyllic image of this nation, without knowing and recognizing the problematic aspects too."HOW TO LEARN KOREAN IN 30 DAYS" aims at being the fastest and most enjoyable method to learn Korean. The purpose is to study one chapter a day, for a total of 30 days. Every chapter starts from a cultural anecdote, slowly approaching a grammar rule, some words and many exercises to test yourself. Every chapter therefore will help you to understand Korea thoroughly.It is suitable both for those working and for those travelling... as well as for those who are only curious to learn something about this culture full of surprises! The difficult thing for a foreigner lies not only in verbal communication but also in understanding the culture of those giving hospitality. With this "little book" you can dive into the real South Korean culture, becoming, with some patience, little experts.

Learning Modern Standard Arabic
The primary goal of this book is to help non-native speakers, who are in the intermediate levels of learning the Arabic language, improve their skills to begin reading the Holy Qur'an and grasp a better understanding of its text. This publication will concentrate on shortening the period of time it takes to reach mastery of reading and comprehending Arabic at a relatively basic level, which provides students with the foundation needed to comprehend the literature style of the Qur'an. The idea behind this simple, yet overlooked process is to provide the student with the necessary skills in addition to the basic skills required to process information during the act of reading. The book adopted the teaching of "Juz' Amma" (30) beginning with very short Surahs, where the teacher walks along-side the learner. For example, within this publication, surat An-Naas, is a great beginning point because it contains a limited amount of vocabulary and gives a good perspective on how to understand the Holy Qur'an's meanings through its unique style after studying the basics of the Arabic language. After the student demonstrates a solid understanding and higher proficiency of reading MSA (Modern Standard Arabic), the teacher will present the Qur'anic script to the student and have him or her read directly from the Holy Qur'an. Adopting this method associated with other strategies will help achieve two goals in teaching and learning: the first being, help those who are fascinated by the Arabic language get comfortable with the terminology and the expressions of the language of the Holy Qur'an. The second goal achieved is having those who understand the Holy Qur'an interpret the information to others. Ultimately, the students will learn Modern Standard Arabic, which will then be applied in reading and understanding the Holy Qur'an (Tafseer of Qur'anic content). The scope of this method is to assist as many people as possible. It targets those who are studying within the field of the Arabic language and culture, as well as students and teachers of Islamic studies, language institutes, Islamic schools, and Arabic schools.
