I can have short, but meaningful conversations in Mandarin after taking the Beginning Chinese class. Lucia gets you comfortable with everyday language and helps you to better understand Chinese culture.

In my Beginning Chinese class, it was great to have regular practice with other beginner-levelspeakers. The instruction emphasized tones and gave an understanding of the context and meaning of vocabulary and phrases.

I signed up for Beginning Chinese because I wanted to get a basic understanding of Mandarin. I feel like I got a lot of practice with the tones and pronunciation. I now have a solid foundation for future practice.
