Description
A basic language textbook designed specifically for Western students of Chinese medicine that guides the reader through all aspects of learning the Chinese language (basic grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing), with a focus on Chinese medical terminology. The purpose of this book is to give readers a solid foundation in TCM-related Chinese character and phrase recognition, enabling them to eventually move on to other texts through self-study.
Reviews
No primer can guide one to the summit of Chinese language mastery, which is a journey of decades not days, but Fast Track to TCM Chinese: A Language Primer deserves to be in the backpack of anyone starting on that journey.
Dr. Douglas Wile, European Journal of Oriental Medicine
I also want to brush up on the spoken language I have long mislaid in dusty recesses of my mind, but I need any study to have a distinctly medical focus since I rarely get exposure to the language in any other context. From that viewpoint, this book (and CD) is immaculately thought through. Right from Lesson 1, the language, grammar and character examples are drawn from medical terminology.
