内容简介
This book is for learners of Cantonese who aim to take their knowledge
of the language beyond the phrase-book level. While our Cantonese: A
Comprehensive Grammar was designed as a reference book, Basic
Cantonese is more pedagogical in orientation. It highlights the key building
blocks of sentence structure, leaving details of grammar and usage for the
more advanced learner. It also provides practice for the grammar points
of each unit in the form of communicatively oriented exercises.
The book is self-contained in the sense that it can be used on its own
for self-paced learning. With the grammar points presented in approximate
order of difficulty, it should also be useful for practice, revision and
reference. It can be used in conjunction with a language course or lessons
from a tutor. Either way, it should be understood that to learn a tone
language such as Cantonese effectively requires some aural support –
ideally from native speakers, or as a second best option from audiovisual
materials such as tapes or CD-ROMs.
