Learn Chinese Without Writing
ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO LEARN CHINESE? Perhaps you've skipped a step, start learning from the most fundamentals--basic strokes, stroke combinations. UNSPOKEN RULES OF CHINESE CHARACTERS Gain Insight into the Intricacies of Chinese Characters * Why does a character look distorted when it appears inside another character? * Why characters that look 'identical' to me are actually different? * Does it really matter if a stroke is written slightly longer or shorter? * How do I align and combine the strokes so that they look good? UNCONVENTIONAL WAY TO LEARN CHINESE CHARACTERS *Apply Geometry to Analyse Chinese Characters *Learn through Fun and Interactive Puzzles VISUAL LEARNING *Learn Quickly through Graphics *What-You-See-Is-What-You-Name: 35 strokes at your finger's tip DESIGNED FOR ANYONE--WITH OR WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE OF CHINESE *If you like to doodle, colour, do paper-cutting, solve puzzles... you'll love this book. ________________________________________ WHAT IS NOVEL IN THIS BOOK 1. APPLYING GEOMETRY TO CHINESE This book boldly applied concepts used in an unrelated field-- geometry to introduce new terminologies to describe features of characters. Similar to constructing a building, Chinese characters are created with balance, symmetry and coordination between different components in mind. A stroke is tilted at a particular angle, fitted into a precise position and adjusted to different lengths with the aim to create a masterpiece. Geometrical jargons are perfect descriptors of these unnamed features. 2. WHAT-YOU-SEE-IS-WHAT-YOU-NAME: 35 BASIC STROKES This book fills the missing gap that other books hardly paid attention to. It focuses on the most basic component--strokes. Skipping this fundamental learning is like learning English vocabularies without learning how to write the alphabets. In this book, the 35 strokes are given names that describe their appearances ... what you see is what you name! 3. VISUAL LEARNING Usually Chinese characters are shown in black and have stick-like appearance. It is very difficult to look for differences in this kind of presentation. In this book, a lot of effort is spent on showcasing Chinese characters in a different light. This improved presentation makes differences and compositions of characters easily visible. To help you learn systematically and know where to focus on, the visual activities zoom in on specific features of Chinese characters one at a time. 4. CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING Instead of receiving the knowledge passively, you will need to actively search for multiple ways to solve some of the activities and will be prompted with questions to help you reflect on what you have learnt.

Language Ungoverned
By exploring a rich array of Malay texts from novels and newspapers to poems and plays, Tom G. Hoogervorst's Language Ungoverned examines how the Malay of the Chinese-Indonesian community defied linguistic and political governance under Dutch colonial rule, offering a fresh perspective on the subversive role of language in colonial power relations. As a liminal colonial population, the ethnic Chinese in Indonesia resorted to the press for their education, legal and medical advice, conflict resolution, and entertainment. Hoogervorst deftly depicts how the linguistic choices made by these print entrepreneurs brought Chinese-inflected Malay to the fore as the language of popular culture and everyday life, subverting the official Malay of the Dutch authorities. Through his readings of Sino-Malay print culture published between the 1910s and 1940s, Hoogervorst highlights the inherent value of this vernacular Malay as a language of the people.

Strategic Reading Skills for University Students of Arabic as a Foreign Language
Given that instructional practices in many Arabic language classes reflect a primary focus on grammar, strategic instruction is deemed to be quite challenging for most instructors. Additionally, many learners of Arabic as a Foreign Language (AFL) lack the necessary skills and strategies to comprehend Arabic texts. It is important, thus, for AFL learners to know how to read skillfully and to be able to deal with an Arabic text independently. Therefore, this book explores the Malaysian AFL learners' major problems in reading Arabic texts and determine the appropriate set of design principles for effective strategic reading. The problems of AFL learners in reading were examined from a teaching perspective. A Design and Development Research (DDR) approach was adopted to frame the design and development of strategic reading for AFL learners.

The Three Beautiful Daughters
The river-dwelling monster Sha Wujing was once the Curtain Raising Captain, but was banished from heaven by the Yellow Emperor for breaking an extremely valuable cup during a drunken visit to the Peach Festival. Later, the band of pilgrims arrive at a beautiful home seeking a simple vegetarian meal and a place to stay for the night. What they encounter instead is a lovely and wealthy widow and her three even more lovely daughters. This meeting is, of course, much more than it appears to be, and it turns into a test of commitment and virtue for all of the pilgrims, especially for the lazy and lustful Zhu Bajie.This is the 9th book in the best-selling The Journey to the West series of stories for students learning to read Chinese. It is based on the epic 16th century novel of the same name by Wu Chen'en. That novel was inspired by an actual journey by the Buddhist monk Tangseng, who traveled from Chang'an westward to India in 629 A.D. and returned seventeen years later with priceless knowledge and spiritual texts. Over the course of the book Tangseng and his companions face the 81 tribulations that Tangseng had to endure to attain Buddhahood.The story is written, as much as possible, using the 1200-word vocabulary of HSK4. It is presented in Traditional Chinese characters and pinyin, and includes an English version and glossary. A free audiobook is available on YouTube's Imagin8 Press channel and also on www.imagin8press.com.

This approach balances the need for an intellectual understanding of structural elements with multiple opportunities to experience the language within its cultural context. From the outset, learners are presented with samples of authentic language that are context-sensitive and culturally coherent. Instructional time is used primarily to rehearse interactions that learners of Japanese are likely to encounter in the future, whether they involve speaking, listening, writing, or reading. Level 2 comprises two textbooks with accompanying activity books. These four books in combination with audio and video files allow instructors to adapt an intermediate-level course, such as the second or third year of college Japanese, to their students' needs. They focus on language and modeled behavior, providing opportunities for learners to acquire language through performance templates. Online resources provide additional support for both students and instructors. Audio files, videos, supplementary exercises, and a teachers' manual are available at www.routledge.com/9781138305304. NihonGO NOW! Level 2 Volume 2 Activity Book provides a wealth of communicative exercises for students following the Level 2 Volume 2 Textbook.

But unable to control his appetites, he got drunk at a festival and attempted to seduce the Goddess of the Moon. The Jade Emperor banished him to earth, but as he plunged from heaven to earth he ended up in the womb of a sow and was reborn as a man-eating pig monster.

A Social View on the Chinese Language
A Social View on the Chinese Language is intended to be a general linguistic introduction to the Chinese language for the general reader and can be used in beginning-level Chinese linguistics courses. It is different from other Chinese linguistics surveys because, in addition to the usual areas of interest (such as the Chinese dialects, the history of the language, the characters and the grammar), it offers a view into linguistic phenomena that are also related to human behavior and society, such as how Chinese children and US college students learn Chinese, how the brain processes Chinese, the genetic origins of Chinese, language disorders and language loss in Chinese, differences in Chinese language use in different social groups, studies of Chinese reading and psycholinguistic aspects of Chinese language use.
