About this course
The course expands Chinese vocabulary through five themes: consumption, physical health, mental health, success and happiness. Learners work with questions that require more detailed or abstract answers, using specific vocabulary and organised spoken responses. Listening practice uses videos of native speakers responding to related questions in unfiltered language. Learners then formulate and deliver their own answers, drawing on personal examples and stories while developing spoken fluency.
What you'll learn
- Build topic-specific Chinese vocabulary related to consumption, health, success and happiness
- Understand native-speaker responses in video listening activities
- Formulate organised answers to detailed and abstract questions in Chinese
- Use relevant vocabulary when discussing personal examples and experiences
Is this course right for you?
The course is intended for upper-intermediate Chinese learners with a strong foundation in pronunciation, vocabulary, reading and core grammar. It involves listening to native speakers and giving developed spoken answers, so learners should be able to sustain conversations and discuss events with some ease.
