Spoken Chinese II

1 Course Unit

This course is a continuation of CHIN 0105 Spoken Chinese I and further develops students’ interactive listening and effective speaking skills in Mandarin Chinese. Instruction continues to emphasize language accuracy, with particular attention to correct pronunciation, accurate tones, and expanded use of core grammatical structures. Students will acquire approximately 300 additional high-frequency vocabulary items. By the end of the course, students will be able to navigate a broader range of everyday linguistic and cultural situations, including describing basic weather conditions, ordering food at restaurants, asking for and giving directions, discussing common cold and allergy symptoms, making social plans, talking about popular sports, and describing plans for summer break. The course remains focused exclusively on spoken communication and listening comprehension. Spring Mutually Exclusive: CHIN 5205 Prerequisite: CHIN 0105 1 Course Unit
