Author/Editor: Xu Zhenya
Publisher: Sinolingua Co., Ltd.
Publication: 2010
Total Pages: 144 (Paperback)
Dimension: 5 3/4 in. x 8 1/4 in.
This book is written in simplified Chinese with pinyin notation and English translation.
From the Preface:
For non-Chinese speakers, especially westerners with different cultural background, communicating with Chines people requires not only language skills, but also an understanding of Chinese culture, customs, social life, business etiquettes and much more. “Ask the custom when entering a country” is another illustration of how we determine what to say and do in certain situations. Otherwise, you may end up offending people in spite of good intention.
Each chapter in this book is made up of three sections. The first section contains situations one may encounter due to cultural differences, confusion, misunderstanding or even conflict. We believe it is easier to understand and quicker to catch the key points when learning a language within the scenarios.
The second section is cultural tips. Many people who have studied a second language may share similar experience: a good grasp of words and gramma does not necessarily mean a good understanding or an appropriate use of the language. This section helps consolidate language skills via cultural analysis.
The third section provides some useful expressions. It provides many examples used in various real-life situations. This book is characteristic of its witty and interesting scenarios, simplification of complicated cultural background, rich and colorful expressions. It’s a handy textbook with a storyline and much humor in it.
