Updated Wilmington Mandarin Course Textbook Files Now Available

Updated Wilmington Mandarin course textbook files, dated August 22, 2013, are now available for download from the Mandarin Course from Wilmington page (courses short link: tiandi.info/courses).

Here is a comment from the creator of these files about this update:

“The audio files have not changed. I simply changed some formatting and expanded a couple of pages (for example: The section on "zhidao" and "renshi" was really short. I made it into a full page instead of half a page.)”

Also of note is that in view of the recently released Chinese Insight book omitting the section on p. 328 of the English Insight book that discusses the Chinese character “船 (chuán)”, the paragraph on p. 9 of the Wilmington Mandarin course textbook that previously mentioned “船” has been rewritten to no longer mention this character and the unprovable speculation about it.
