Thank you for your interest in Chinese language teaching

This course is designed for people who have no prior knowledge or minimal knowledge of Mandarin Chinese (Putonghua) but wish to master the skills to communicate with native Mandarin Chinese speakers in social settings.

It is an ideal course for anyone who wants to learn Mandarin Chinese and can be effectively used in the classroom setting or for self study.

I use Chinese Pinyin, Chinese characters and English in parallel throughout the whole course to meet the needs of learners across all levels.

Using an interactive approach and placing emphasis on learning valuable communication skills, the course gives students the opportunity to gain confidence in using Chinese vocabulary and grammar most relevant to everyday situations.

It is a concise and practical course that can be easily used by both teachers and students.

With 10 years of experience in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, I am committed to offer Chinese learning experience with real-life meaning, practice and enjoyment.

I am confident that those who follow the journey through this book with genuine interest will make significant progress in their pursuit to acquire a contemporary and important world language, just like tens of thousands of students I have helped throughout my career.

Thank you again for choosing this course！
