Chinese for beginners - crash course

– A unique course

This course is specially designed for fresh starters who take interest in learning Mandarin Chinese. For beginners, it works best to have shorter lessons (so that it’s not too much we try to take in all at once), and refresh the memory before it fades. Rather than taking big bites, we run at a light pace, and repeat frequently. This method has proven to be effective, as the same course in 2020 gained great feedback from the participants.

 

　

– How it’s done

So, 3 times a week, we have short lessons of 40 minutes. In each week, we cover a topic, and learn the phrases and sentences that are both useful and fun. Apart from the communicative skills, another focus is on the pin yin spelling rules, which is an essential tool. This will lay a solid foundation for your future learning. Apart from these, various cultural elements will be integrated into the lessons too, such as: the Chinese Zodiacs, the food culture, the evolution of the thousands-years-old han zi writing system, etc.

 

This course is taught online through Zoom. It is taught mostly in English.
