- Chinese characters, pinyin and English translations

- Realistic scenarios to provide you with an interesting context in which to learn grammar

- Varied and imaginative exercises so you can review your progress easily.

With straightforward descriptions, numerous exercises, and examples that are rooted in realistic situations, the author shows you how grammar is used in everyday life.
