Welcome to this Chinese language course and thank you for choosing to learn with us!

This course is designed for total beginners who have little or no knowledge of the Chinese language.

As well as the basics, this course focuses on introductions, asking questions, basic vocabulary building, sentence structure and so much more…

There are many different ways to learn a new language, however they all require time and effort. If you keep practicing regularly and dedicate a certain amount of time each day, you should be fine. Also take the time to speak with native speakers if you have the opportunity to do so.

Completing this taster course will give you a knowledge base of around 200 - 300 words as well as being able to read both simplified and traditional characters. If you are in Southern China, you will find that simplified characters are predominantly used. If however you are planning on going to Hong Kong or Macau (or even Taiwan), you will see traditional characters everywhere. You will learn how to correctly pronounce each character and how to recognize them if you are abroad in either of these places.

We hope you enjoy this course and find it to be useful.
