Acknowledgments

I’m indebted to a number of people for their assistance in the preparation of this volume. It’s not possible to mention everyone who participated, but special thanks are due the following for their contributions:

For writing the simplified and traditional characters on early drafts of the character practice sheets, Minjun Jiang, Jerling Guo Kubler, Ching-yi Sun, and Zhe Zhang.

For assistance with the character presentation sheets and related work, student research assistants Emily Chang, Angie Chien, Andy C. Chiu, Anthang Hoang, and Peter Rankin.

For assistance in proofreading the Chinese language content of this volume, my graduate student Yuqi Ji.

For assistance in drafting the paper flashcards, Nikki Fang.

For advice and assistance with computer-related work, Adam Jianjun Wang, Senior Instructional Technology specialist at Williams College; and Peter Leimbigler of Asia Communications Québec Inc. All of the Chinese language content in this volume was processed using the KEY 5.4 Chinese language software that Dr. Leimbigler and his colleagues developed.

For their careful editing and many helpful suggestions during the production of this course, my editors June Chong and Sandra Korinchak. I also wish to express my appreciation for their enthusiastic support of the project and its development to Tuttle’s Publisher Eric Oey and Vice President Christina Ong, and to Nancy Goh, Angie Ang, and the entire Tuttle Sales and Marketing team for their expertise and assistance.

Last but not least, I wish to thank the students in the Chinese classes at Williams College from 1993 through 2014 for their corrections, suggestions, encouragement, and inspiration.
