Sample Class Basic Chinese Conversation I
This is an introduction to Chinese language study. Students will first learn simple greetings in Chinese and then master basic daily conversations in six months. A native Chinese instructor enthusiastically, and attentively teaches the basics of Chinese conversation to small groups of around 10 students, while encouraging the students to be actively involved in learning through role plays and songs. Students will soon find themselves conversing naturally in Chinese in the classroom.
