In this course, students will learn to understand, write, read, and speak Chinese through practice, self-assessment, animated dialogues, and graded video activities. They will also build their social awareness to act and communicate appropriately with people from other cultures. Students will learn Chinese that is used in daily life in China, such as introducing yourself, expressing likes and dislikes, and making plans. This is the first course in a four-part Chinese series, which aligns to ACTFL standards.
