Description

The Chinese Grammar Wiki began in 2012 as a modest website with a bold vision: to record all of the grammar structures in the Chinese language, categorize them by difficulty level, explain each one in clear, jargon-free English, and link them all together. Initially the wiki was a resource exclusively for the clients of AllSet Learning’s Shanghai-based learning consultancy. But several years later, its popularity among learners had exploded and the Chinese Grammar Wiki has become the #1 online resource for Chinese grammar among independent learners and university students alike.

This book is the first major volume, covering all essential grammar points that an Elementary (A2) learner needs to master. Together with the Intermediate and Upper Intermediate volumes, this series comprises the most complete single resource on Chinese grammar in print.

This volume features:

• 40 Beginner (A1) grammar points
• 95 Elementary (A2) grammar points
• 245 separate grammar structures
• 1,700+ examples (with pinyin and English translation)
• Both colloquial and formal examples of usage
• Extensive interlinking of similar grammar points
• Bilingual glossary of grammar terms
• Learner-centric design
