About this course
The course expands Chinese vocabulary around consumption, physical and mental health, success and happiness. Learners work with questions that require more detailed or abstract responses, organising their ideas and using topic-specific language. Listening practice uses videos of native speakers responding to related questions in natural, unfiltered language. Learners then formulate and deliver their own answers, drawing on personal opinions and experiences.
What you'll learn
