Jia Ming Wang, I enjoy your posts, and the way you defend China; you are loyal to your country, which is a good thing. I used to date a Chinese woman, and she also was proud of her heritage. One thing I have discovered from teaching English to Foreign Speakers is that the Chinese are very friendly, and like to laugh a lot. I hope you continue to search for peace and happiness in your life, and are able to receive grace as much as you offer it through your work.
Hi Jia Ming Wang,
I’ve just discovered about the history books for beginners that you publish, which interest me a lot. However, I have 2 questions:
– What level (HSK / European Framework or number of words studied…) of the Chinese texts?
– I see part 1 and 2, are there others (something about contemporary Chine would be so great)?
All my books contain English and pinyin (along with simplified characters), hence all the titles are suitable for beginners (Level 1) to advanced level (Level 5/6) of Chinese language students.
I have been working on Chinese History Part 3 (and a quite a few other titles) as well. It should be available ASAP after I finish the books in Chinese Sex Word Series.
I just read your post to Quora about the cheng yu, shua zui pi. I know a fair amount of Chinese and could guess the meaning. I have learned to read, write, and speak Chinese mainly through self-study, but also with the help of my Chinese wife, to correct my pronunciation. My biggest weakness is lack of fluency, both in speech and listening to spoken Chinese. Do you have any suggestions for websites or other sources of slowly spoken Chinese with accompanying written text, so I can practice to understand spoken Chinese better?
Thanks for your comments. Since your wife is Chinese, you’d better talk more with her in Chinese (which I believe you are doing anyways). 🙂 Read more and more books in Chinese without looking at pinyin. Once you know the characters, it will be easier to map their sounds. You can try reading books aloud in front of your wife and let her correct your pronunciation. You can find tons of lessons on YouTube as well. I am considering to add sounds to my upcoming lessons on this site.
