To share more personal information and build better relationships, you’ll also discover how to talk about your family and profession.
To further help you communicate in Chinese, you’ll develop a good understanding of the Chinese writing system. This includes basic strokes and writing sequences of Chinese characters.
As part of developing your understanding of the Chinese language, you’ll explore the contemporary culture and life in China.
You’ll also have the opportunity to engage with native speakers to communicate in common everyday situations.
