Is this course right for you?

This course is labelled Elementary (A2) and is intended for learners developing beyond the earliest fundamentals of Chinese. The description refers to students encountering more natural conversations and suggests that knowledge of 400 or more words would be helpful, particularly for travel-related communication.

• The stated 400-word knowledge level is described as ideal rather than a formal requirement.
• Learners continue working with Pinyin while beginning to take up essential Hanzi from earlier study.
