Pros: Each section has dedicated audio to brush up on your tones and listening capabilities. The book puts special emphasis on developing tones from single words to phrases in order to progress your pronunciation.
Cons: The workbook repeats the same topics as the textbook so you’re revising content you’ve probably touched upon before. The workbook doesn’t have an answer key.
Bottom line: Not for beginners, this workbook jumps straight into the juicy stuff and gives you all that extra practice outside of class.

The Great Firewall of China
Want to use the VPN I use for a stable, quick connection in China? I depend on it to upload more than six videos a week and live-stream on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. And here’s my second choice for a VPN. Plus, when you download from either link, they share some of the cost with me, so I can keep creating the videos you love.
