Description:

Chinese is the world's most spoken language, and (unknown to many a Westerner!) very learnable.  Chinese class is a good place to be.

The Chinese 1 course begins with a foundation of understanding for how this very different language works...




...Then starts the acquisition of vocabulary and grammar.  By second semester, Chinese 1 students will be practicing basic communication in all core skill areas: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.  

This course follows a curriculum established in the Discovering Chinese series, and is enriched with additional cultural content.  In this first year of study, our cultural focus will be geography and 21st century Chinese lifestyle.

Students in the course will work to prepare themselves for intermediate Chinese study, whether at CHS, university, or abroad!
