Mandarin Chinese 101

Description

In this beginning class, students acquire a basic practical knowledge of Chinese. The phonetic nature of Chinese makes for rapid mastery of pronunciation and correct tones. As far as possible, instructors conduct class in Chinese, using English to clarify difficult points. The basic Chinese grammar and sentence patterns are introduced step-by-step, along with approximately forty Chinese characters per lesson. Traditional and modern Chinese cultures are explained and discussed throughout the ten-week quarter. By the end of the class, students will know how to introduce themselves and greet others, count numbers from zero to a million, tell times and dates, discuss hobbies and daily routines, and write brief dialogues.

**NOTE: For CHN 101-104 students have a choice between using either the Simplified character edition or the Traditional character edition. Classes can be taught using both editions.
