Mandarin Chinese Conversation Camp - Speaking Beginner to Infinity (After Pt. 4)

Students who have functional Chinese to have basic conversations are welcome although most of the students will be graduates of the 4-month (4-part) conversation camp for beginners.

Students will have ample opportunities to practice what they are learning on a daily basis. Students will use everyday conversations and some basic games to practice Chinese in real life. I will provide feedback as well as inviting some native Chinese speakers to be students in the class to join and practice their Chinese as well!

This class is specifically for students who have already completed part 1,2,3, and 4 who want to continue learning with me and the methods I use but is open to anyone with functional conversation skills.

Class will be structured in the following way:
5-10 minutes - Review
10 minutes - Learn new Vocab/Structures
10 minutes - Practice with teacher and partners

Topics covered:
Each week we will cover a new topic that students will vote for at the beginning of each week. We will learn the base question and then how to adjust our myriad follow-up questions to fit that question type.
The options will be the following:
-- "How to ___"
-- "Advanced asking and receiving directions for travel"
-- "Why answers"
-- "How many ____"
-- Student given options also available
