Intro Chinese Language and Culture
This course is carefully planned to introduce how to speak, read, and type Chinese
at a basic level. Focuses on the Mandarin Chinese Pinyin Romanization system as a
tool for learning Chinese and solving pronunciation problems as well as using simplified
Chinese characters. It is an introductory course designed for people who have little
or no knowledge of the Chinese language. Aspects of the Chinese culture are also incorporated
in this entry-level class.
Materials are included and will be shared by the instructor through Google Classroom.
