Excerpt from A Short Course of Primary Lessons in Mandarin

It is only written, and is incapable of being used as a means of oral communication, except in ready made phrases, for reasons which the student will see as he proceeds. Using these characters to write Mandarin is, to some extent, an adaptation.

Excerpt from A Short Course of Primary Lessons in Mandarin

The most notable characteristic of the system is its want of system.
