Chinese for Beginners| Free taster course, Learn to speak Chinese you can use in everyday real-world situations.
Course Description
By the end, you’ll confidently master Chinese greetings—starting with key vocabulary, proper pronunciation, and tones—and learn to adjust your speech for respect (whether greeting peers, groups, or older people). You’ll also pick up how to ask others’ names and introduce your own, plus essential facts about Chinese names: surnames come before given names, most names have 2 or 3 characters, and culturally, women don’t change their surnames after marriage. Finally, you’ll learn to ask about someone’s nationality, and recognize that popular country names (like “America,” “Britain,” and “France”) have totally different spellings and pronunciations in Chinese.
This course is simple to study since it includes speaking and listening exercises to help you solidify your comprehension of basic Mandarin vocabulary and symbols. Short, engaging video clips make learning feel easy, while repeat-after-me drills train your ear and mouth to work in sync.
