Yew Posted December 26, 2004 at 04:22 PM Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 at 04:22 PM Hi! I'm (still) a total beginner in chinese, and I have decided to buy a textbook for learning both speaking and writing (in traditional characters). I have looked around in http://www.amazon.co.uk and found two books, both from John DeFrancis: Beginning Chinese and Beginning Chinese Reader. But what's the difference between these two books? Which would be better for a beginner like me? If those aren't good, would you also suggest some other book with traditional characters? Greetings, Yew PS. Btw, do you know any good Chinese-English-Chinese dictionary with traditional characters? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
