The Accurate Use of Chinese: Practical Sentence Structures and Word
Usage for English Speakers is a unique learning resource for
learners of Chinese who are English speakers. The primary goal is
twofold: to help these learners leverage their existent knowledge
in English and navigate the Chinese system with fewer obstacles;
and also to help them prevent errors of which the underlying cause
may be English. This is done through comparisons of selected
grammar topics, language rules and word usages between the two
languages. Grammar topics in English serve as the comparison points
from which learners can gain a deeper understanding of the
comparable, but differing structures in Chinese. The book's
comparative approach is unique and innovative, designed to build a
more nuanced and instinctive approach to grammar. A valuable
resource for beginners to advanced learners and instructors of
Chinese, the book contextualizes grammar structures and provides
in-depth information not covered in Chinese language textbooks.
