Learn a new and PRACTICAL language! This course introduces the basics of pronunciation, grammar, and everyday vocabulary of Mandarin, official language of China. This course helps students develop basic skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing colloquial Chinese. Our goal this week is to understand and hold basic low level conversations. All writing will be in Pinyin, a phonetic transcription system. We will not teach Chinese characters (or Hanzi), but we will show students a computer translation from Pinyin to Hanzi. We leave students with a progression of home-study to take them to the next level.
