On this nine-week ExpertTrack from Chinese Plus, you’ll develop the ability to comprehend and communicate in the Chinese language at a basic level, preparing you to learn more complex Chinese.

Explore the basic phonetics of Chinese Mandarin

Chinese can be a difficult language to learn for native English speakers as it’s not a phonetic language, meaning that the pronunciation is not related to the writing of Chinese characters. That’s where pinyin comes in; a special system created to aid in learning how to sound out Chinese.

You’ll explore the Chinese language system alongside pinyin, discovering the phonetics of Chinese and helping you lay the groundwork for pronunciation and speaking in Mandarin Chinese.

Build your confidence with Chinese expressions, characters, and grammar

This ExpertTrack will guide you through the basics of the Chinese language, from greetings and introductions to expressions of time and location. You’ll explore Chinese grammar and characters to improve your reading and writing, as well as focusing on pronunciation to enhance your speaking and listening skills.

After working through this ExpertTrack, you’ll have a good command of basic Chinese words and expressions, Chinese characters, grammar items, and communicative function items, all building together to give you a fundamental command of the Chinese language.

Expand your career prospects with a new language

Learning a new language can enrich your life and make travelling the world even more enjoyable. It can also improve your job prospects. The benefits of being able to converse in a native language are obvious, and employers are understandably seeking staff with language skills.

With Mandarin Chinese being the language with the most native speakers in the world, and the Chinese economy regularly ranking as one of the largest across the globe, it’s an extremely useful language to learn, especially for business.
