Speak Chinese is designed and compiled according to the general plan for short-term Chinese programs. It is intended for learners
who have laid a basic foundation of the Chinese language and have
a vocabulary of about one thousand words.
Speak Chinese
is produced to meet the practical needs of for-
eigners studying and living in China. The textbook adopts a functional-grammatical approachand is divided into units that are composed of dialogues related to daily situations. Throughout Speak
Chinesedaily
expressions as well as key sentence patterns appear
recurrently in texts and exercises. The contents of the book gradu
ally increase in difficulty.

In order to help learners grasp the general rules of Chinese
apart from explaining the meanings and usages of the key words
expressions and linguistic structures, the notes in each lesson in
Speak Chinese also provide an extension of the usages of some linguistic structures with concise description.
The book has forty lessons in two volumeswhich are divided
into fifteen units. Each lesson consists of four parts TextNew
WordsNotes and Exercises. At the end of book there are a vocabulary list and answers to some of the exercises.
The suggested
teaching hours are 8 hours per week and 4 to 6 hours for each lesson. In this waythe whole book can be completed within 20 to 30
weeks. Upon completion of the whole booklearners will master about one thousand new words and sixty new sentence patterns.
Since its publication, Speak Chinese has received much attention of the teachers and experts in the field of teaching Chinese as a
foreign language and has been welcomed by its learners.
Beijing
Language and Culture University Press has listed the second edition
of Speak Chinese
as one of the BLCU Choice Chinese Textbooks
for Overseas Learnersseries.
However, as the time went b y
some contents of the book were out of date. Thereforewe have

produced the third edition of the book. Wu ShupingLai Siping and
Zhao Ya have participated in the revision work. Based on the structure of the book of the second editionwe have replaced some texts
and rearranged the distribution of some linguistic structures so as to
better meet the learners' needs. The EnglishJapanese and Korean
versions of the third edition of Speak Chinese will be published.
Here we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to those
who have given us a lot of care and support for the revision of
Speak Chinese,
especially to Beijing Language and Culture Univer-
sity Press and editors Wang Yali and Tang Qijia.
