![]() The China Path The China Path core curriculum offers six levels of Mandarin classes for English speakers. The first level is geared to the absolute beginner, and each additional class adds new vocabulary and language patterns. Utilizing a variety of teaching methods, students are able to achieve practical conversational skills. The first four levels cover a broad range of every-day conversational topics, and are appropriate for someone considering travel in China. Levels 5 and 6 also have a broad scope, but with a slightly greater emphasis on business, and living and working in China. CP 1 - Introduction to Mandarin Part I [Many other courses on offer; please check website]Course Description
For absolute beginners! Level 1 introduces Pinyin, and teaches the basics of the Mandarin language. Each course runs weekly for seven weeks, usually from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Because of the value of repetition and reinforcement, members may repeat any of the core courses (CP1 through CP6) once without charge, and as many additional times as are useful at 50% of the current rate. Every student is responsible for setting their own pace, and learning in their own way. Some students might prefer to repeat a level several times, and learn gradually by assimilation. Other students might choose to prepare for each class, and by doing a lot of work outside of class, master the curriculum very quickly. All classes include extensive additional content, so that students who wish to move ahead more quickly may do so. Recordings, practice software, and flashcards are provided as part of the course material to support the learning process. The additional written material includes both classical and contemporary Chinese. Each of the first four levels adds approximately 250 characters and words to the student's reading ability, with a correspondingly greater increase in conversational skills. 180 Bloor St. West #500 Toronto, Ontario M5S 2V6 Canada Fax Fax: 416.924.6067 Phone Phone: 800.253.8611 Tuition charges Tuition fees: Please contact school for details.
