Can you introduce yourself and make a great first impression in Mandarin?
Beginner Chinese 2 is for you if you're familiar with pinyin basics, tones/pronunciation, and can say simple sentences.
Start here if you've already completed Chinese 1 with us, or if you've studied Chinese before and can confidently read and write pinyin, know word order, distinguish tones, and form questions. You should also be able to use numbers in dates and times, and know how to use 吗， 呢，的，也，个，吧，& 了
Everyday vocabulary. Modal verbs, prepositions, adverbs for negation. Quantity and time. View the full curriculum here.
With a small group (averaging six students per class and capped at ten), you'll have an opportunity to engage in conversational Chinese with other language learners with realtime feedback from the instructor.
By the end of our level two course, you'll be able to make appointments, use Chinese phone etiquette, talk about your job and daily routine, go shopping, and ask about transportation.
