In this ongoing class, students will be learning Mandarin Chinese at an advanced level. Students who already can have basic conversations, read pinyin, and write some characters are encouraged to take this class. The class will be strongly encouraged to speak in Mandarin as much as possible, as well as write and read a lot. To see what my previous Mandarin classes have covered, visit my Outschool profile and click on Beginner and Intermediate Mandarin Chinese classes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Each week of the month has a specific goal to learn: Week 1: Creative Writing Week 2: Grammar Week 3: Conversation Week 4: Holiday (Or fun project) On top of these goals, there will also be topics. For example, for Conversation Week, students will be presented with questions that can help them have a conversation in Mandarin with their classmates. Questions may be about animals, self-introduction, likes and dislikes, and more. Holiday or fun project day will be about the holiday of the month, or student presentations, short stories, or group projects.
