Full Description
Encounters is the advanced-level Chinese text series to accompany the popular Interactions and Connections textbooks.

The advanced series is divided into four parts, organized by theme: Life and Entertainment; Media and Education; Social Realities; and World, Politics, and Economics. Encounters offers advanced learners a complete set of tools to improve their language skills and enhance their understanding of Chinese culture and society. Encounters I consists of a textbook and workbook for Lessons 1-10. The remaining 10 lessons appear in the companion set, Encounters II.
