***Students should have taken 1-3 of my boot camp classes or have taken at least 2 years of Chinese classes***

Students will learn the basics of Chinese pronunciation and grammar as well as have ample opportunities to practice what they are learning on a daily basis. Students will use everyday situations from the Lexicarry book to learn how to talk about real life things in preparation for speaking Chinese to real Chinese people.
