Mandarin Chinese is a tonal language, which means that the way a sound is pronounced directly affects the meaning of what is said.
You'll learn the correct pronunciation from the very beginning and will be able to pronounce all combinations of the sounds at the end of the course.
You'll be able to form basic sentences, including asking and answering simple questions. Our conversation topics will include basic greetings, informal conversations, welcoming guests, introducing friends and family and many others!
