Course Description
This course follows the natural process of learning a language, just like how we learnt our mother language, which is completely different from the traditional way of language learning.
We will play a dialogue spoken by two to three native speakers. Listen as much as possible, like a little baby, emerse your brain into the conversation, pay attention to the gestures and any other kind of visual content matches the sound you hear and try to guess the meaning.
play the conversation as often as possible, until you are able to understand the content and even able to predict what the next word sounds like.
The video dialogue will be followed by an explanation lecture, with pin yin, and every detail from the video dialogue. You can listen, repeat, and try to imitate the pronounciation of a word using shadowing technique ( repeat right after you hear a word or a sentence) you can record yourself and compare yourself with native speaker.
In the end, there will be vocabulary extension PPT with sound track.
After finishing this course, you will be able to communicate with native Chiense speakers with confidence, even speak with a genuine Chinese accent.#speakchinese #learnchinese #chineselanguage #mandarinWho this course is for:

I was born and raised in China, got my degree in Chinese teaching in shenzhen university in China, after graduation, i worked in Chinese training centers in three countries, for over 3 years, learning the techniques of how to teach Chinese and whats the best way of learning Chinese as a seond language. Then I went to california state university in long beach to pursue masters degree (MBA), while I was studying there, I made friends with a lot of students who were learning Chinese as a second language, I got my tutor job there, and did a lot of research about how to teach Chinese easily. My conclusion was, there is always an innovative way to learn a language, which is to follow the natural process of learning a language, just like how people learnt their mother language. After utilizing the new way of chinese teaching in my daily tutoring job, students are a lot happier when they learn the language, and they've made huge progresses in short period.

It is very helpful
By Kimhongtann on 6/23/2020
it's the perfect match for me because I feel like an everyday environment rather than a class.

Honestly, I think it's a personality clash combined with very jarring volume changes and varying levels of post-production, but this course wasn't a good match for me.

introduction to language. its just the beginning.
By Joshua Price on 1/23/2020
It has very poor production values. The videos are grainy and out of sync and the sound is poorly edited.
By Ava-Grace Deane on 1/12/2020
I love this course! It's wonderful to come back to specific classes for reference
By Frances Teow on 11/3/2019
