Integrated Chinese, this set of four audio CDs includes all the dialogues, vocabulary, and pronunciation exercises from each lesson of the Integrated Chinese third edition textbook, as well as the listening exercises from each lesson of the Integrated Chinese third edition workbook. The CDs also include the detailed introduction to Chinese phonetics and pronunciation from the textbook. This is a completely new set of recordings for the third edition. Each CD set also comes with free access to downloadable bonus tracks: alternate slower versions and dialogues with pauses.

Integrated Chinese is already the leading introductory Chinese textbook at colleges and universities around the world. The third edition has been significantly updated to meet the needs of today's students with a full-color design, fewer lessons in Level 1 to allow for more flexible pacing, more communicative activities, up-to-date vocabulary, expanded cultural notes, an exciting new storyline linking all the dialogues and readings, and more review sections.The series provides coordinated practice in the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Throughout the series, Integrated Chinese builds on the three modes of communication - interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational - and ACTFL's "Five Cs"—Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities—to build proficiency in using the Chinese language in a variety of real-life situations. With its emphasis on practicing a broad range of written and verbal communication skills and building cultural understanding, Integrated Chinese is ideally suited for students who want a comprehensive grounding in the Chinese language.
