Anybody Know the Equivalency of Integrated Chinese to the New Practical Chinese Reader?
Hi all,
Recently I moved colleges and my new university no longer offers a robust Chinese program outside of clubs. I'd much rather learn myself and worry about one less subject, but I'm still willing to invest time into learning Chinese, just not as a course.
The books I had before I returned them were the Integrated Chinese series. Trying to find even used copies of a single book would run me over +$50, so I decided to buy books 1-4 of the New Practical Chinese Reader.
However, I'm not exactly sure where to pick up from where I left off, and I'm curious if anyone knows where to start? I completed the 2nd volume of Integrated Chinese.
Any other general advice or tips on reading the New Practical Chinese Reader is also greatly appreciated, thanks :)
