Practical Chinese
for Living and Working in China Finding an inspiring and results-oriented Chinese class can be hard work. Mandarin classes at many schools are commonly taught by native Chinese teachers using homegrown educational methods. Our class teaches Mandarin using recognizable Western educational techniques and methods that foreign students respond better to. This course is intended for the beginner who wants to become conversationally functional in Chinese relatively quickly. We will focus on “everyday Chinese”, the words and phrases essential to making your own way in daily life. Because this is an activity-based course which employs a broad range of activities and exercises designed to get you talking (and listening) effectively, you will continuously use and reinforce what you already know while acquiring new material. The activities are fun and entertaining, with topics and content selected to be both engaging and relevant. You will become well versed in such typical situations as introductions, visiting a friend, asking and giving directions, shopping (and bargaining!), restauranting, speaking on the telephone, traveling, and emergency essentials. At the end of the ten weeks, you will be conversational on a basic level and possess a strong foundation – the grammar and usage, sentence patterns, phrases, vocabulary, and pronunciation -- upon which to pursue further study toward the goal of total fluency. Increasing numbers of people coming to live and work throughout China
are learning to speak Mandarin, the language that binds this huge and
diverse nation together, from Shenzhen to Hohhot, from Kunming to
Harbin. Our journey through the Chinese language will be an eye-opening
and educational adventure, offering vivid glimpses of a unique culture
while getting you out and about chatting with locals. For those of you
who have already made the plunge, the language can sometimes seem
daunting. This course aims to make learning Chinese accessible and fun,
guiding learners toward their goals of speaking with confidence and
enthusiasm, from restaurants to mobile phones, taxis to tea time. Course Title:
