Learning Chinese Through Idioms and Their Stories

Written with intermediate-level vocabulary, this book allows non-native students to understand the historical stories behind the idioms in a simple and clear way. Through sentence structure exercises and guided questions, students also learn how to use these idioms properly in different contexts. The twelve idioms selected in this book are not only frequently heard in daily life but also carry significant historical allusions. Most importantly, the innovation of this textbook lies in aligning its vocabulary with the TOCFL (Taiwan's Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language) standards, marking words in the stories according to their proficiency levels. This systematic approach enables students to build a foundation for learning higher-level Chinese effectively, making it highly beneficial for both classroom instruction and self-study.
