Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to Chinese Geography series. In this book, we will discover numerous Ethnic Groups in China (中国民族).
The books in Chinese Geography series contain numerous lessons in Mandarin Chinese. We start with a brief introduction of the book in the preface (前言) in Chinese and pinyin, a bit detailed introduction of the main theme (in English), and continue to dig the geography in different chapters. Each book contains 7 to 10 chapters made of simple Chinese sentences. For the readers' convenience, a comprehensive vocabulary has been provided at the beginning of each chapter. The pinyin for the Chinese text is provided after the main text. Further, to enforce a deeper Chinese learning, the English interpretation of the Chinese text has been deliberately excluded from the books. This would help the readers think deeply about the contents the way native Chinese do! In order to help the students of Mandarin Chinese remember important characters, words, long words, idioms, etc., these entities have been purposely repeated throughout the book, and across the books in the series. Taken together, the books in Chinese Geography series will tremendously help readers improve their Chinese, especially the reading skills.
