If want to enrich your travels with the most popular and useful Chinese phrases and vocabulary close at hand, then pay attention...

Many Chinese language textbooks are intended mainly for people who study Chinese in formal classes and are based on assumptions that are appropriate primarily for such learners.

The words and phrases such textbooks introduce in early lessons are often those that help students function in a classroom setting. Such textbooks also assume that the learners’ need to learn to read and write Chinese is as pressing as their need to speak it, so they introduce oral and written skills at the same rate.

Underlying many such textbooks is also the assumption that they will be taught by a teacher, someone who will manage and guide the students’ learning process.
