Total Beginner Mandarin Classes

Nǐ Hǎo and Welcome!

ABC Languages Total Beginner Mandarin is for students with little or no background in Mandarin. Students may choose to enroll for 6, 8, or 12 weeks (textbook included in all enrollment packages).

In the first 6 weeks students will be introduced to the tones, pin-yin (the romanized version of Chinese), and basic conversation. In 8-12 weeks, students can expect to continue to build on their vocabulary, speaking, and reading skills including an introduction to Chinese characters.

To reserve a space you need only sign up for the minimum 6 weeks and may upgrade to a longer enrollment by your 2nd class. 12-week enrollments include 1 make-up class (a 13th consecutive class) for a missed lesson.

As with all of our groups, once a class is started it will be ongoing with flexible enrollment options.

We hope to see you here soon!

Total Beginner: I have never taken Mandarin, or I have completely forgotten everything that I learned and need to start again.

I know pinyin, pronunciation, tones, how to introduce myself, say where I am from and where I live, and other very basic sentences.

I can ask and answer basic questions, know numbers/dates/time, can compare things, and know high frequency verbs and can use them in sentences.

I know vocabulary for daily activities, items (clothing etc.), directions (location), and can describe people and things (physical attributes, colors, etc.)

I can speak about most conversational topics, but I get tripped up when trying to use complex grammatical structures.

I can converse with relative confidence about day-to-day topics and can use some complex structures, but I need to increase the types of conversation topics with which I feel comfortable speaking.

I am able to talk about most conversational topics and some professional topics although I lack sophisticated vocabulary and still make mistakes with colloquialisms.

I can speak with ease about simple and complex topics. I need more advanced vocabulary building, to be challenged to speak with more sophistication and learn more chengyu and other expressions.

Please give any additional information that you think would help us with your level placement.

Do you speak any other foreign language(s)? If so, which one(s) and at what level?
