Character Text for Beginning Chinese by John Defrancis

In this parallel character version of Beginning Chinese, dialogues, pronunciation drills, sentence-building exercises, substitution drills and memorization exercises correspond to the same lessons Beginning Chinese offers in English and in pinyin romanization of Mandarin.

John DeFrancis (1911-2009), Emeritus Professor of Mandarin at the University of Hawaii, graduated from Yale in 1933 and moved to China to pursue his interests. He traveled almost 4,000 kilometers through Northwest China and Mongolia, over the Gobi Desert, and down the Yellow River in three years of study and travel, immersing himself in grassroots contact with the language and people. DeFrancis received his M.A. after returning to the United States.
