Hello!

This site presents basic and intermediate Mandarin Chinese lessons for you to use for free.

Following the lessons from start to finish will provide you with a working knowledge of basic Mandarin Chinese.

This site is organized similar to the first two years of a university Mandarin program.

Elementary I – This is the equivalent of an introductory Mandarin Chinese course in university. Basic greetings, essential vocabulary, and grammar are covered.

Elementary II – This would be the second semester of your first year of Mandarin class. There is a lot of review, with an emphasis on fluid usage of what you already know, and expanding your vocabulary.

Intermediate I - Introduces a lot of new material, more complex sentence constructions and grammar, and a few cultural notes.

Intermediate II - Similar to a second year, second semester Mandarin course, this is meant to expand on material presented in Intermediate I.
