These courses are designed for students who are busy and do not have time for a long term study plan. They are ideal if you have had no previous exposure to Mandarin as they start with Chinese phonetics and phrases. The beginner level comprises three courses – beginner I, beginner II & beginner III. Upon completion of the course, you should have a command of more than 1,000 basic words and 200 simple sentences, focusing first on pinyin (Romanization of Chinese characters) and then progress to basic daily conversational situations.
