Introductory Chinese for adult

This beginner-level small group course is designed specifically for adults with little to no prior experience in Mandarin Chinese. Through a practical, conversational approach, students will develop foundational skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Emphasis is placed on pronunciation (pinyin), essential vocabulary, common phrases, and basic grammar structures needed for everyday communication.

Whether you’re learning for travel, business, or personal enrichment, this course provides a supportive and interactive environment tailored to adult learners. Cultural insights and real-life scenarios are integrated throughout the course to build confidence and context for language use.

By the end of the course, students will be able to:
• Greet others and introduce themselves
• Ask and answer simple questions
• Navigate everyday situations such as ordering food or shopping
• Recognize and write basic Chinese characters

No previous language experience is required—just a willingness to learn and have fun!
