New!!! 4 Months Putonghua Course For Adults Course (Taught in English)
Our Interactive Mandarin Chinese Course’s purpose is teaching Mandarin Chinese (Putonghua) to
English speakers. It aims to develop the learner's communicative ability in Chinese by learning
language structures, functions and related cultural knowledge as well as by training their listening,
speaking, reading and writing skills.
The course consists of 16 lessons (16 weeks, 1 lesson of 2 hours/ week) specially designed for
beginners. In the course of 4 months, students will study Chinese phonetics, vocabulary, sentence
patterns, grammar, and discourse, which are the foundation of language communication.
As a result of studying and practicing phonetics and fundamental sentence patterns applied in
dialogues, by the end of the course, students should have an elementary command of basic
Chinese language structure. The course gives prominence to function, training the students
in the most needed functional items, such as greetings and introductions. The lessons focus
on the teaching of basic functions and topics of conversation, training the students’ abilities
to use language structures for communication.
The course is taught in English by our principal, Ms. Carola Dinu, who is an expert in teaching
English and Chinese as second languages. Ms. Dinu holds a BA and MA in Linguistics, Romanian
and Chinese languages and literature, a MEd in English Studies and a TESOL Certificate from
Trinity College of London. She is currently teaching English to local kids,
local university students and foreign adult students.
