The workbook is especially interesting and helpful.\" —Chauncey C. Chu, University of Florida\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\". . . by far the best first-year textbooks available.\" —Sabina Knight, Smith College\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConnections I \u0026amp; II is the second-year sequence to accompany the enormously popular introductory texts Interactions I \u0026amp; II by Margaret Yan and Jennifer Li-chia Liu. This innovative system makes learning Chinese an interactive, cognitive process rather than a matter of simple rote or drill. Connections is designed to offer intermediate learners of Chinese a complete set of learning tools to improve their language skills and enhance their understanding of Chinese culture and society. Lesson topics revolve around everyday themes and real-world communication among four central characters—a mainland Chinese, a Taiwanese, a Chinese American, and a non-Chinese American—familiar to students using Interactions. Each 10-chapter volume is accompanied by a workbook. Chapters include sections on vocabulary, text, mini-dialogue, characters, grammar, and culture notes, accompanied by engaging graphics. Connections also includes stories and songs, and makes use of a wide variety of texts such as narrative, dialogue, journal entries, riddles, jokes, news headlines, and lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Jennifer Li-chia Liu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43572602831030,"sku":"9780253058058","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780253058058_aad3a01c-1c95-4c91-b5c4-6f64a36f5639.jpg?v=1726139108","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/connections-ii-text-workbook-textbook-workbook-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
