Continuing from the introduction to Chinese language and culture, this course is designed to extend learners’ ‘survival’ repertoire of spoken Chinese and their knowledge of the Chinese writing system (there is regular practice in character composition and recognition). Aspects of the cultural background are also dealt with.
