HSK Standard Course 1 SET - Textbook +Workbook (Chinese and English Edition)

Great course. I like that the book has some QR codes so you can scan them and ill take you to the pronunciation and some audios. Even though its a beginner book I like that they don't use extra english. I think if you are trying to learn e glish by yourself is good to have the book but I would complementing it with having a native speaker help you with it.

These hsk books are absolutely amazing if you are wanting to learn Mandarin Chinese. I would highly recommend these books because they are going to give you what you need to get certified. I will continue to get each level of these books!

These books are absolutely fantastic. As I begin my Mandarin learning journey, I wanted well known and well formatted books to help study and introduce the language to myself. These did not fail! Both books came in very good condition. The shipping was also faster than I expected. The HSK 1 textbook’s cover has a slight bent spot (assuming it was shipping), but it’s hardly noticeable. The back of the HSK 1 textbook also has the cumulative list of all the vocabulary, type of word, and characters for each. As you can see in the photos, the textbook is in color while the workbook is in black and white. The workbook is divided into pronunciation, listening, characters, and reading. However, I read reviews saying that there’s a lack of an answer key to the workbook, so please keep that in mind. I also saw some buyers having trouble with finding the audio files. Despite this, I think this a great resource to introduce yourself to a quite complex language such as Mandarin. I highly recommend and I hope to continue buying future HSK books!

The material arrived on time in excellent condition. The cd is now an online QR code but that seems easier.

Pros: A good book to use if you don't like using software for studies. It provides examples and outline is clear. Cons: 1. A grading app for practice would be a plus to ensure your pronunciation is correct. 2. The preface is totally Chinese and I had to use Google translate. Characters are not so relevant for beginners 3. The download for review chapters does not allow for self assessment

perfect just how i expected and it did came with a QR code 😊

I am currently a 17 year old who got inspired to learn mandarin. so of course i had to get this starter text book! The text book so far is pretty good in explaining things and they way you’re supposed to pronounce letters and words and helps you understand and distinguish the different tones with the audio. One small problem is that the audio cuts off a lot so i just go on youtube and find all the audio i need for every lesson on there. that is only the small issue but other then that the book so far is pretty straight forward and makes everything clear (i am on lesson 4 moving onto lesson 5) . it explains how to use certain words and phrases and the pictures really help. you visualize and think in mandarin instead of translating from english to chinese in your head. I will give this book a 4.9/5 !! :D totally worth for your chinese learning investment

I have been taking Mandarin lessons for several months and I like these books very much.

Worked through every chapter and got 75% overall so a great way to learn.

It arrived in time and in perfect condition! As for its usefulness I’m gonna start studying with it pretty soon , it seems to be well made and perfect to prepare for the HSK 1 exam!

Muy bueno en lasprimerss etapas del chino ..

Easy to learn book for beginners and thorough explanation but missing the audio for listening on how to properly pronounce the characters

Perfect! Snelle levering. Ik heb de ISBN nummers nog even erbij gezet.
