Comments from author's students Kiveli Venz Paneda The textbook was very helpful & student/user-friendly. It can be easily appreciated by those who opt for self-studying whether they have or lack any previous knowledge and/or experience in speaking Chinese (Mandarin). However, it is better understood when with the guidance of a teacher.The concepts & the basics were discussed thoroughly & therefore establishes a good foundation for those who want to learn the language. Harold Diokno Basic Mandarin A is a very useful tool for studying Hanyu. Not only does it provide realistic and simplified lessons, it also gives the students a smooth and navigable approach to learning a rather complicated language, through its exercises, vocabulary and supplementary notes. There are relatable and situational examples after every lesson, not to mention the updated and easy-to-learn drills on Chinese characters.
