Paperback. Condition: New. Illustrated. While the teaching of Modern Chinese as a foreign language has made progress by leaps and bounds, the same cannot be said about the teaching of Classical Chinese.

Designed for those who have studied Modern Chinese for one or two years, but who have had no exposure to Classical Chinese before, ""Classical Chinese Primer"" is in a set of two volumes: the reader itself and a workbook.

Each selection is accompanied by annotations and clear and jargon-free grammar notes. Beginners of Classical Chinese will find this reader useful in building up their basic grammatical knowledge of the language.…
