It is expected that at the end of the course, students should be able to develop the skills of having simple conversations in daily life occasions, master the basic sentence patterns, and should expand the vocabulary based on The Contemporary Chinese I:1.1, and associated compounds concentrating on vocabulary that relates to contemporary China.
