This beginner Level 1 course puts listening at the centre. Learners are given a large amount of spoken Chinese they can understand, supported by pictures and video, before they are asked to produce sentences of their own.
Rather than memorising grammar rules, the course leans on comprehensible listening material so that patterns are picked up through repetition. Speaking practice comes through repeated drills, sentence patterns and links to everyday situations, building up to confident oral expression.
True beginners who want to hear and understand before writing, and learners who have stalled on speaking. Anyone who expects a grammar-first curriculum or character writing practice will find it light on both.
Welcome to our Chinese course! We want to help you get better at listening and speaking Chinese quickly, even if you don't know anything about the language yet.
Most people usually start learning a new language by reading or memorizing stuff. But we think it's better to learn like how babies learn – by listening first. When babies hear lots of understandable language, it helps their brains learn the language. Then, they start talking. We're going to do the same thing with you. We'll give you lots of stuff to listen to and understand, and then you'll start speaking. It's like exercising your brain to learn a new language!
Here are the key features of our course:
Emphasis on Listening and Speaking: We prioritize the development of listening and speaking skills, utilizing a plethora of visuals such as pictures and videos to aid comprehension and retention.
Focus on Comprehensible Input: Rather than rote memorization of grammar rules, we provide ample comprehensible listening materials to help you intuitively grasp language patterns.
Speaking Practice: Through repetitive exercises, association with real-life scenarios, and mastering sentence patterns, we'll guide you in confident oral expression.
Our curriculum covers:
Everyday vocabulary and expressions
Common colloquial phrases used by native speakers
Questioning techniques and responses
Natural self-expression in Chinese
Whether you're a complete beginner or seeking to enhance your oral proficiency, our course caters to your needs. Join us as we explore the beauty of the Chinese language together!
