In your second year of Chinese, you will be able to engage in basic conversation, with the ability to describe daily activities and the weather, order food at a restaurant, and go shopping. You will understand simple texts, menus, and signs and be able to write about daily needs. We will visit local Chinese restaurants to practice ordering food while enjoying classic dishes from China’s different regions. You will also have an opportunity to explore Chinese cooking through a special cooking project: record your preparations for a popular Chinese recipe at home, followed by a class presentation. This project helps you master important grammar skills while deepening your appreciation of the wonders of the Chinese kitchen.
