Chinese III

Conversational Chinese I, II and III are designed for adult learners. They focus on practical content and effective learning. Each course selects the content most urgently needed in practice, puts the content into the most common and useful sentence formulas, and applies sentence formulas in real situations.

Students will review all the sentence patterns learned in Chinese I and II, and practice using these patterns in meaningful, real-life situations. They will continue to add to their list of new vocabulary words which will make their daily conversation in Chinese more interesting and enjoyable. 16 hours (Textbook required)
