This course will introduce you to the fundamentals of everyday Mandarin, teaching you basic vocabulary for a range of everyday situations.

The course will also take you on a tour of Taiwanese culture, placing the Mandarin language in the context of the daily life of the island.

You’ll ultimately come to be able to communicate clearly and effectively in basic Mandarin – setting you up for a lifetime love affair with this beautiful language.

In this course, our educators will irregularly join the discussion with you, and, of course, at every step in this course, you are invited to share your ideas with us and other fellow learners.
