Do you regularly work with Chinese students and want to be able to communicate with them easier? Are you planning a work trip or holiday to China and want to learn the basics?

The course will take place between 1-2PM every Wednesday, 1-29 July (5 weeks) at The Confucius Institute and is aimed at complete beginners. It will introduce learners to practical words and phrases that can be used in everyday situations and help you develop your ability to have basic conversations with native speakers on a visit to China.
