Reading Latin, first published in 1986, is a bestselling Latin course designed to help mature beginners read classical Latin fluently and intelligently. It does this in three ways: it encourages the reading of continuous texts from the start; it offers generous help with translation at every stage; and it integrates the learning of classical Latin with an appreciation of the influence of the Latin language upon English and European culture from antiquity to the present. The Text and Vocabulary, richly illustrated, consists at the start of carefully graded adaptations from original classical Latin texts. The adaptations are gradually phased out until unadulterated prose and verse can be read. The accompanying Grammar and Exercises volume completes the course by supplying all the grammatical help needed, and the second edition has been fully revised and updated. It has also been extensively redesigned to make it clearer and easier to navigate.

This book presents an introduction to Chinese Martial Arts and Philosophical Traditions through a cultural and practical lens. It is written for expats and Mandarin learners who want to explore Chinese culture in a way that connects language with real-life practice. Rather than treating topics separately, it brings together movement, history, and thought into a unified learning experience.Chinese martial arts (¿¿¿¿, Zh¿ngguó w¿shù) developed over centuries as systems of training that combine physical skill, discipline, and cultural expression. From structured forms to flowing movements, these practices reflect how the body and mind are trained together.Philosophical ideas (¿¿¿¿, zhéxué s¿xi¿ng) are closely tied to martial practice, influencing attitudes toward patience, balance, and self control. These principles are not only discussed but actively embodied through training routines and daily practice.The book also shows how traditional systems continue to exist in modern settings (¿¿¿¿, xiàndài huánjìng), adapting to sport, fitness, and global learning contexts while still preserving their core values.

Effective meetings are the backbone of successful business communication. This book is designed to help expats navigate meetings (¿¿, huìyì) and discussions (¿¿, t¿olùn) in Chinese with confidence. You will learn practical phrases, polite expressions, and strategies to present ideas, ask questions, and guide conversations smoothly.From opening a meeting (¿¿, k¿ihuì) to summarizing discussions (¿¿¿¿, z¿ngjié t¿olùn) and assigning tasks (¿¿¿¿, f¿npèi rènwù), each chapter provides real-world examples to build both language skills and cultural understanding. The book also covers virtual meetings (¿¿¿¿, x¿n¿ huìyì), follow-up communication (¿¿¿¿, g¿njìn g¿ut¿ng), and simulations (¿¿¿¿, huìyì món¿) so you can practice in a realistic setting.By combining language, etiquette, and business strategies, this guide helps you communicate clearly, lead discussions effectively, and succeed in professional Chinese environments.
