Course Overview A multi-media, game-based approach makes this introductory Chinese course different from traditional approaches to language
learning. Advanced teaching techniques are used to turn compelling
adventures and activities into rigorous lessons in grammar
and vocabulary. This course provides a solid foundation for
reading, speaking, writing, and understanding Chinese and
cultivates a passion for the language through exposure to
culture and dynamic experiences of real people and real places.
Take this course and polish your foreign language skills during summer when you have more time. Take it for enrichment or for course credit. You get half credit for a semester course (4 weeks) and
full credit for full year course (8 weeks).
