Since Yew Chung International School of Beijing (YCIS Beijing) introduced the Chinese Daren Award
to encourage students to learn Chinese and Chinese culture, many Chinese Daren students have
emerged. The opportunity for Chinese language learning is becoming more and more accessible at
several Chinese and Taiwanese universities, where some teachers are learning English as well, to
better communicate with students. Essential characters can also be downloaded from the internet on
the Taiwanese website, Fun With Chinese Learning This sight also offers many unique insights into
the language. When undertaking any Asian language program, particularly Chinese, students should
know that the language and script revolves around the concept of connectivity.
Prerequisites for all courses: Harvard College students must be taking a Harvard Chinese course or
have taken the Harvard Chinese placement test and received an assignment of intermediate-level
Chinese (120a) or higher. Students from other colleges must have at least one year of college-level
Chinese or the equivalent. The text covers the most important communicative skills needed by
American students studying in China and provides a deeper understanding of cultural and
intellectual differences between US and Chinese societies. Rather, the study indicates a complete
overhaul of China's energy supply is needed.
Pera Pera is a pop-up dictionary and study tool available as free add-on for both Mozilla Firefox and
Google Chrome After you install it (if you follow the link, it will take you less than a minute), activate
it by clicking on the star that will appear on your browser, go to a webpage in Mandarin and point at
a character you don't know with your mouse.
The TBC - UIBE Scholarships supply current undergrad TBC college students or TBC alumni with
the resources plus encouragement they need to continue learning in China with TBC. There are
scholarships for the drop and spring semesters and the summer applications. The program begins
with an optional but highly recommended eight-week summer Chinese vocabulary and lifestyle
program to increase language skills while in Tiongkok. Students with advanced Chinese language
skills (near indigenous reading, writing, and speaking), may take courses taught within Chinese
within selected fields, such as​ history, Chinese language culture and society, and economics.
After selection by your UC Campus EAP Office, last admission is determined by Beijing Regular

2. Dr. Zhou has authored or co-authored 14 books, including the influential Language Teaching in
Chinese Kindergartens, which is used by early learning teachers throughout China. The ABCmouse
English Language Learning app provides a fundamentally new approach to learning English. The
thoughtfully planned sequence of lessons systematically introduces important English words and
phrases, and offers a one-on-one oral language practice activity and comprehension quiz at the end
of each lesson.
I would recommend the program as it is all encompassing and covers all aspects required of a
language program. The problem is actually looking for a room, especially if your Chinese is not too
good. When I come back to Beijing, I'm going to make sure to make more Chinese friends. Because
BLCU has many foreigners who speak English so it's hard to be completely immersed in Chinese.
Thanks to the help of this program you can get into the Chinese culture slowly and easily. BLCU has
good teachers and a lot of learning resources but you loose a lot of time learning useless vocabulary.
But loving the Chinese language immensely helped me overlook the above mentioned obstacles.
Intercultural learning involves affective, behavioral, and cognitive processes.
I didn't mention learning characters prior to speaking, largely because I think it's both (a) ineffective
and (b) I've never seen anyone actually using it in real life before. I use something similar to the
Heisig method to memorize the characters more effectively, so that's a no-brainer whether you plan
to learn characters before, after or concurrently with the spoken language. But since we're talking
about learning the language, I think recognizing a few thousand characters quickly and accurately is
a must if you want to even approach functional fluency.
Beijing reflects China's long and evolving history and home to some of the nation's most well-known
and culturally important sites such as the Great Wall, Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace.
Students participating in the language meals are required to speak only Chinese while learning more
about Chinese culture from their tutors, friends, and instructors.
After that, I worked through the Chinese readers that Chinese elementary school students read,
until I had graduated” from elementary school (i. longevo. had finished the 6th grade texts). This
helped me to develop the quick response skills necessary for for true fluency, and helped me bride
the barriers between my native language and Mandarin. I did very little work with writing, choosing
instead to type my correspondence in Chinese using a key-in system based on bopomofo. I changed
my major to Chinese literature and spent the next two years taking courses in Chinese grammar,
modern Chinese literature, classic Chinese literature, and Chinese language. After graduation from
university I began study in an MBA program in the United States.
In Shanghai the most common language will be Putonghua as the people speaking it will be non
native residents of Shanghai as Chinese cities have a majority of non native residents. But, living in
Shanghai one will find that the local Shanghai language is very common and many people trying to
speak it creating even a greater number of local dialects. I have found that to be true in the 4 large
Chinese cities I have lived in; Qingdao, Zhengzhou, Shenhzhen, and Hong Kong, over 7 years. Being
that I can read Cyrillic (though I speak Serbian but not Russian) I can totally relate to how you
suggested learning it. That would indeed be the best way.
Over the past cincuenta years or so, BLCU has taught Chinese language and culture to over 100,
000 international students from 160 countries and regions around the world, most of who are now
proficient in Chinese and familiar with Chinese culture. The Rutgers in Beijing program is designed
to provide students with an opportunity to study Chinese in a native environment. There learn
chinese in china are also many restaurants and several marketplaces nearby; and the Beijing subway
is a short walk away. Eligibility: The program is open to anyone over the age of 18 who is interested

3. in learning Chinese. Dates: Six weeks in July and August, generally corresponding to the Second
