Beginning Chinese II will continue to teach basic Chinese language skills and introduce more Chinese culture to the students. It will help students to lay down a stronger foundation of listening, speaking, reading, and basic writing skills in Chinese. After finishing this course, students will be able to make simple conversations about one’s hobbies and daily life routines, express their needs, give others instructions by using simple sentences, and speak Chinese more fluently. Students are expected to learn another 100 Chinese characters and be able to take HSK Level 1 at the end of the class.
