Course Overview

Build on your first steps and start using Mandarin more independently. You will practise everyday situations such as shopping, ordering food, asking for directions and making simple plans. You’ll develop your confidence in listening and speaking, while continuing to build your understanding of pinyin and recognising more common characters.
