This course is for students who want to improve their reading, writing, speaking, and listening comprehension skills. It is not lecture-based and consists primarily of students' practice. There will be a lot of repetitions in order to enhance the memory of the words and phrases. We will use Discovery Chinese and some other textbooks, but you do not need to buy them. We will mainly use simplified Chinese characters but may show some traditional Chinese characters to expand the learning. Students must set up their computers to enable PinYin to type Chinese characters while attending the class. I will add more sessions as we go.
