NetChai Shop, the online Chinese textbook store we run on Yahoo! Shopping,
An online shop selling course materials for NetChai, the online Chinese school.
- NetChai originally asked users to purchase materials from other online bookstores, but (1) items being out of stock, (2) long delivery times, (3) badly damaged books, (4) items never arriving, Following these and other reports, we now source materials directly from Peking University Press and Beijing Language and Culture University Press, reducing risks for our users and ensuring that the books you receive are generally in better condition than those purchased at regular bookstores.
- Of course, you are welcome to purchase them from other bookstores. However, please be very careful to make sure the seller is reliable.
Designated Course Materials
The following are the designated materials for the Introductory to Advanced courses and the Business course.
- “Conversational Chinese 301” is one of the most widely used Chinese textbooks in the world — the classic choice for beginner to elementary levels.
- “Shuo Hanyu (Speak Chinese)” is for learners who have completed “Conversational Chinese 301”, bridging the gap between 301 and the intermediate level.
- “Intermediate Spoken Chinese” and “Advanced Spoken Chinese” are the designated textbooks for NetChai's intermediate and advanced courses, and are easy to study with both in lessons and on your own.
- “Spoken Chinese Idiomatic Expressions Course” is a designated textbook for the advanced course, at the same level as or slightly more difficult than “Advanced Spoken Chinese”.
- “Business Spoken Chinese (Jingmao Hanyu Kouyu)” is the designated textbook for the business course. Please use it after completing at least “Conversational Chinese 301 (Vols. 1 & 2)”.
"Yuwen" Series: China's School Chinese Textbooks
The following are the designated materials for the course based on "Yuwen," China's school Chinese textbook.
- The “Yuwen” series is the standard Chinese-language textbook (People's Education Press) used in many primary schools across China.
- Primary school grades 1-6 each have two volumes, junior high grades 7-9 each have two volumes, and senior high offers compulsory and elective-compulsory volumes.

- These are the textbooks known as the "Sucheng (Short-Term) Series." A long-established series with a solid reputation.
