NetChaiShop
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 books directly from Peking University Press and Beijing Language and Culture University Press, reducing risk and ensuring copies generally in better condition than those from regular bookstores.
- You're welcome to buy them from other bookstores, of course — just make sure the seller is reputable.

- “Conversational Chinese 301” is one of the most widely used Chinese textbooks in the world — the classic choice for beginner to elementary levels.
