This vocabulary book is for Chinese language learners aiming to acquire everyday conversational skills. It carefully selects only the essential words necessary for smooth daily communication with native speakers. It emphasizes the perspective of "mastering verbs," which was lacking in conventional vocabulary books, and considers how to make words usable in live conversations by combining verbs with nouns. Since it is composed of basic vocabulary, it is suitable as a starting point for learning. Most of the vocabulary includes example sentences, allowing you to learn within context. There are approximately 1600 headwords, but you can learn about 2000 words in total, including the vocabulary in the example sentences. The included CD also contains the pronunciation of the example sentences.
