你好, my friend! Perhaps you are an absolute beginner in Chinese language or have studied before, but now you have forgotten a lot, it's okay, this course is for absolute beginners who want to learn Mandarin Chinese well and in a fun way.
Each Section of this course will have Two Chapters and each chapter will have Five Videos:
Vocabulary Words
Writing Characters
Grammar
Dialogue
Speaking Practice
Vocabulary Words. In this section, we will learn how to pronounce words correctly, we will learn their meanings and I will use these words in examples, we will make sentences.
Writing Characters. This exercise will also help us to remember characters better. This part is for those who like to write characters. But this is not necessary, in real life we will very rarely need to write characters by hand, since now many people type on smartphones and computers.
Grammar. Here I will explain in detail the different types of grammar with different examples. These grammars will also be applied in the Dialogue part of the same lesson. In this part, you can also improve your reading skills at the same time as we read the sentences.
Dialogues. Here we will read the texts of interesting stories, we will practice the words and grammar that we learned in the chapter. Here we will also listen to audio and watch video of the dialogues to better recognize the words. I recommend watching the video several times to better practice reading, listening and pronunciation.
Speaking Practice. I know it's not really easy to learn to speak the language through video lessons, so I tried to make our course as useful as possible for you, and added a series of videos to practice Speaking Chinese and improve your listening skills. Here I ask you a question in Chinese, you can stop the video and try to formulate the answer. And I will also give you a 'potential answer' so that you can know how to answer such a question. If it is not clear what I said, it's okay, at the end of the video I will show you the answers that I gave to those questions, and their translations into English.
At the end of each section, I also prepared Assignments for you to translate texts from English into Chinese, this will help you learn to think better in Chinese. In total there are in this course 40 Quizzes, 20 Assignments, 20 Listening Tests, as well as 2 Practice Reading Tests (in total, there will be 20 texts for Reading Practice), where you can test your knowledge and improve your skills.
*******************************
At the beginning, I will teach very slowly, and over time, once you have a certain foundation of Chinese, I will gradually increase the pace of teaching, with each lesson I will teach faster and faster. I think that this is very important, given the fact that each student receives information differently, someone needs faster, and someone needs more slowly. But, my dear friend, at any time you can play the video faster by adjusting the speed, you will have such a function in the player.
*******************************
I tried to create a course that will really help you learn Chinese well.
But first I would like to give some useful tips and recommendations:
Please do not listen to those who say that you can learn Chinese with the pinyin system only. Why? Because you can learn from pinyin, but up to a certain point, then pinyin will not help, Chinese will not be entirely clear to you. If you go to China, you'll realize that in real life, pinyin won't be that important. If you want to learn Chinese well, it is very important to be friends with Chinese characters, and pinyin will be a great tool for learning characters, as well as working on our pronunciation, and we will use pinyin for this.
In this course, please take your time and work on each lesson of the course in detail, complete quizzes and be sure that you already recognize all the words and only then move on to the next lesson. Since all lessons are sequentially connected to each other, it is important to take your time and work on each lesson well so that the next lessons do not seem too difficult.
After completing all the lessons, you will be able to communicate freely on a lot of topics related to travel, university life, work, personal life, sports, family, shopping and many others. This course is perfect for people who are going to live in China.
Together we can do it, my dear friend! Let's start our journey! :)
