Our Chinese Basic Course is designed for beginners seeking a solid foundation in Mandarin. Over eight weeks, students learn essential pronunciation, pinyin, and tones to speak simple phrases with confidence. Weekly lessons cover fundamental vocabulary—introductions, greetings, numbers, and everyday expressions—combined with basic grammar structures such as sentence order and question formation. Interactive activities include listening exercises to improve comprehension, speaking drills for accurate pronunciation, and simple reading tasks using short dialogues and listening comprehension exercises. Each class incorporates cultural insights, introducing customs, etiquette, and common idioms to contextualize language use. Assignments include writing basic characters and practicing short conversations with peers or the instructor. By the end of the course, participants can introduce themselves, ask and answer simple questions, navigate basic shopping scenarios, and understand slow, clear spoken Mandarin. This course serves as a launchpad for further study, equipping learners with confidence and skills to continue advancing in Mandarin studies.
