Chinese HSK3 Intermediate 3 Intensive

About this course

The course consolidates previously learned Hanzi rather than introducing new characters, with learners beginning to read short texts without Pinyin. Speaking practice centres on real-life stories: each lesson presents a story told by a native speaker, which learners use as a model for telling their own. Grammar work reviews result and directional verb complements and introduces possibility complements, rhetorical questions and more flexible use of interrogative pronouns. Story topics include work, food, sport, cities, cooking and personal experiences.

• Read short Chinese texts without Pinyin using familiar Hanzi.
• Apply result and directional verb complements in Chinese sentences.
• Use possibility complements, rhetorical questions and interrogative pronouns more flexibly.
