I purchased this in Taiwan. The contents are in English and Chinese (Taiwanese Mandarin). There is no Japanese translation, only English and Chinese. This is Volume 1 of "Contemporary Chinese Course," a Chinese (Taiwanese Mandarin) learning textbook used at the renowned National Taiwan Normal University. ◯ This is the first textbook for Chinese beginners. 當代中文課程 1 This learning material focuses on conversation and includes content for beginners. There is some writing inside.
