Chinese Intermediate Course

While the basic level teaches phonetic system and basic characters necessary in basic daily situations, the intermediate level will develop learnersʼ speaking and listening skills by expanding their vocabulary and enhancing grammar awareness. The course is designed to achieve this goal in the form of more daily situations that foreign students may encounter. The appropriate and practical usage of the language is the central concern when choosing the conversations, which are entitled in idiomatic Chinese sayings.
