Being proficient in a language requires taking part in real-life communication. On this course, you’ll explore Chinese family relations and how to talk about part-time jobs and occupations in more detail.
You will also learn about grammatical sentence structures, reviewing important grammatical devices to develop your language skills. You‘ll learn the extended uses of directional complements, as well as common prepositions, adverbs, and conjunctions.
This course is designed for anyone interested in learning the Chinese language. To benefit from this course, you will need a good command of basic to intermediate Chinese words, expressions, and grammatical structures.
It is recommended that you complete both the Contemporary Chinese 1 ExpertTrack and the Contemporary Chinese 2 ExpertTrack first as they will give you the foundation you need for this course.
