Chinese Studies: Language Learning

Especially for beginners, e-textbooks are the best option for learning Chinese as opposed to the physical textbooks. They are newer, more applicable, and more user-friendly than any of the materials made for foreigners on the shelves at WashU. See below to see recommended textbooks and readers. Alternatively, you can also search "learning Chinese" though the Library catalog.
