Questions
Is there a free PDF of the textbook?
No. Integrated Chinese is a published, copyrighted series from Cheng & Tsui, so we don’t host or link copies of the textbook, workbooks, audio or answer keys. Everything linked on this page is free.
What changed from the third edition?
The fourth edition (2017) renamed the four books: Level 1 Part 1 and Part 2 became Volumes 1 and 2, and Level 2 Part 1 and Part 2 became Volumes 3 and 4. Each volume has ten lessons, with a textbook, workbook and character workbook, in simplified and traditional characters.
What level am I after this book?
Cheng & Tsui aims Volume 1 at ACTFL Novice Low to Novice High. The OPI practice test gives you a feel for an ACTFL interview, and the level test places you on the HSK in a few minutes.
