I started the Mandarin courses and noticed that all the text and workbooks are romanized.  Not a bad thing but it may be harmful later on during my studies.  I was wondering if there was a course which teaches the writing system as well.  Thanks in advance!

The FSI Mandarin Chinese program currently uses the first two levels of the Integrated Chinese series, which teach the characters.  Note that Level 1, books 1&2 have both a simplified edition and a traditional edition.  Level 2 provides the text in both formats.
