Details

Participants should recognize and understand over one thousand words and be familiar with a variety of verb complements (不得了,到,好,起來,完). An ideal participant should be able to understand the use of 比 in comparisons, 把 in "disposal" constructions, and 被 to express passive voice. We will emphasize fairly standard Putonghua pronunciation but also work towards comprehending regional accents.
