Sounds and Shapes of Arabic Letters
The shapes of some widely known objects resemble the shapes of Arabic letters. The method shown in this book uses this quality to shift the present method of learning Arabic letters from teaching to perception. For example, if a learner looks at the Arabic letter and the drawing of a cow's horns on the front cover of this book, this letter's shape INSTANTLY is retained in the learner's memory. There is no need to write it repeatedly to memorize its form because it is beside a reminiscent object's shape. No other book provides such effective reminders of letters' shapes. The present way of learning letters is by introducing them INTO memory. This book offers a recall FROM memory. This revolutionary method actualizes an INSTANT remembrance of the forms of Arabic letters. For best results, students should study the book six days ahead of formal course books. It saves time and effort. For example, the letter "s" is the first of the letters of the words swan, snake, sun, sword. If you draw waves under the letter "s", you will get the shape of a swan. The shape of the swan is an effective REMINDER of the shape of the letter "s". If you draw a tongue and connect it to the upper end of the letter "s", you will get the shape of a snake. The shape of the snake is an effective REMINDER of the shape of the letter "s". Now, English-speaking students will be able to sound out Arabic letters INDEPENDENTLY by using the sounds of English letters! Moreover, they will be able to identify the shapes of Arabic letters INSTANTLY! In this book, I used shapes that REMIND students of the shapes of Arabic letters. Worldwide, formal coursebooks TEACH students the shapes of letters.

The Thieves
As the travelers continue westward, the monkey king Sun Wukong steals rice from an elderly villager's kitchen. Then the pig-man Zhu Bajie takes three silk vests from a seemingly abandoned tower. These small crimes trigger a violent confrontation with a monster who uses a strange and powerful weapon to disarm and defeat the disciples. Helpless and out of options, Sun Wukong must journey to Thunderclap Mountain and beg the Buddha himself for help.This is the 17th 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 using the 1200 word vocabulary of HSK4 plus several hundred words introduced in previous books in the series. It is presented in Simplified 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.
Revised Edition of Simplified vs. Traditional
This book documents in detail the complex relationships between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese: the two forms of 7000 characters matched up, complex cases annotated with the word contexts in an innovative layout. It is a specialized dictionary, primarily intended for answering a common question: given a Chinese character, either Simplified or Traditional, what is its counterpart in the other form? For everyone reading, writing and converting the two written forms of Chinese, it is an essential reference; for those who are proficient in one of the two forms, it provides a self-study path to master the other form; and for anyone who is interested in understanding the two written forms, it is an one-stop resource on the subject.
170 Classical Chinese Poems
This volume is compiled primarily for the readers of Arthur Waley's well-known book 'A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems'. Waley's book does not include the Chinese originals, which are also not easily accessible as the 170 poems were selected from multiple sources. This volume has identified the original for each of the 170 poems, and put them together in the same order as in Waley's book. With these two books together, the English translations and their Chinese originals would pair up easily for the readers.

ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO LEARN CHINESE? Perhaps you've skipped a step, start learning from the most fundamentals--basic strokes, stroke combinations.

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.
