(Hello and welcome),你好:

My name is Tina Li and I’ve been teaching Mandarin as a foreign language in China for many years.

My course is perfect for the complete beginner as I break down the Chinese language into tiny chunks, so each lesson in this course lasts just five minutes (more or less!). In each lesson, you learn a tiny chunk of Mandarin sentence to daily use. As you work through the course, you learn more and more little chunks and you will be able to speak more and more sentences.

The course is designed for people who want to improve quickly the communication skills in daily life.

This Shorten Term Spoken Chinese Course focuses on the words and phrases used in everyday life.

After finishing this course you will be able to use the most frequent Chinese phrases and words which you can use straight away in the daily life.

The course will help you:

1. Practice your speaking skills.

2. Learn and use Basic grammar points.
