Rezensionen

Teachers of Mandarin Chinese frequently face questions on language usage that slip through the cracks of traditional grammars and textbooks. Emma Wu has produced an indispensable tool to help overcome this challenge. Drawing on two decades of classroom experience and informed by the latest research in second language acquisition, this book will be welcomed by teachers and students of Chinese alike.

-- Roel Sterckx, Professor of Chinese, University of Cambridge

Reflecting over twenty years of experience in Mandarin teaching, this book is the perfect go-to-guide for teachers, students and anyone interested in the Chinese language. Emma Wu has deftly and expertly compiled a fantastic grammar that not only explains

the complex nuances of modern Mandarin in a clear accessible way, but also provides a wealth of linguistic information for scholars of the language.

-- Dr. Justin Winslett, sinologist

Practical Chinese Usage is a clear and accessible reference book for anyone interested in Chinese as a non-native language. Based on her extensive teaching experiences, Emma Wu displays her commendable talent in explaining and exemplifying complicated Chinese usages in a simple and down-to-earth way. Whether the reader is a learner or a teacher of Chinese, a copy of the book will surely make the learning or the teaching a less daunting and more enjoyable endeavour.
