About The Course
Level One classes are designed for adults and high school students with little or no previous training in Mandarin Chinese. Junior high students may enroll if they are accompanied by an adult who also enrolls. Level Two classes are intended for students who feel that they have satisfactorily mastered the level one material. Students are encouraged to reenroll in Levels One and Two as needed. An attempt will be made to alter activities each session to provide variety from session to session.
These classes provide a groundwork for the study
of modern Chinese. They include instruction in all four
language skills of aurally understanding, speaking, reading
and writing. Students are welcome to reenroll in a level already taken.
