yonitabonita Posted May 26, 2006 at 04:24 PM Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 at 04:24 PM Hi Folks Does anyone know if there's copy of: "Brushing Up Your Grammar For HSK" Intermediate Level, BLCU Press' which provides grammatical explanations in English? I'm spending more time looking up the explanations than working on the grammatical points themselves. Grateful if anyone knows. cheers, Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doumeizhen Posted May 26, 2006 at 05:17 PM Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 at 05:17 PM I used this book: 现代汉语虚词手册 (北京大学出版社） A Guide to Function Words in Modern Chinese It has alot of grammatical terms, explanations in English and Chinese, and lots of Chinese examples. I think I picked it up at the Wangfujing bookstore, or at the Language and Culture Uni bookstore. Definitely a useful reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wushijiao Posted May 27, 2006 at 12:57 AM Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 at 12:57 AM I don't know. But you can buy "Conquer HSK Chinese Grammar: 征服HSK汉语语法＂ 徐昌火编者，张嫒英译 北京大学出版社．" That book is pretty good. The English explinations are also fairly easy to understand, unlike some other books. http://www.dangdang.com/product/8990/8990999.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elina Posted May 27, 2006 at 02:25 AM Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 at 02:25 AM Here’s some more detailed information for your reference. I think you’re in Beijing, directly go to this bookstore to compare these books and decide which one you need: http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/8180-blcu-bookstore-location-question Brushing up your Grammar for HSK: Elementary & Intermediate http://shop.aaawww.net/mod8/detail.php?gid=475913&userid=7912&catid=662814 A Guide to Function Words in Modern Chinese http://shop.aaawww.net/mod8/detail.php?gid=314248&userid=7912&catid=662814 Conquer HSK Chinese Grammar: 征服HSK汉语语法 http://shop.aaawww.net/mod8/detail.php?gid=314538&userid=7912&catid=662814 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lau Posted May 27, 2006 at 07:15 AM Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 at 07:15 AM there is one more HSK practice exam book with english explanations. I cannot find the picture or the name of it online, but it's easy to locate in any bookstore: it's small ( A5 ) thin, ORANGE, and usually stands together with identical sized books in different colours. it's the same book, but the original chinese version is available in english, korean, japanese and maybe other languages as well. consists of two tests, has a tape available. cheap. like around 10 kuai orsomething.
