| Course description |
|
This beginner’s course focuses on pronunciations of Mandarin Chinese as well as using Mandarin to conduct simple daily conversations by building up basic vocabularies, sentence structures, and grammars. Drills from each class take same structures as the Chuken. It doesn’t only help students practice what they learn from classes, it will also enable them to become familiar with the forms and tendencies of the real Chuken test. |
| Expected Learning |
| Students will attain approximately the 4th level on the Chuken proficiency scale. To be more specific, students are expected to carry out real life communication at an elementary level involving basic level of grammars and vocabularies upon completion of this course. |
