 University of Minnesota - Department of Asian Languages and Literatures Chinese 101
Beginning Modern Chinese is a course that teaches Chinese as a foreign language. It is the first semester of a two-semester sequence in first-year modern standard Chinese. This course introduces elementary Mandarin pronunciation, grammar, and orthography (in both Pinyin and characters) to beginners with no prior exposure to the language (students who are heritage speakers of Chinese are advised to take CHN 1015: ACCELERATED BEGINNING CHINESE). Chinese 1011 consists of two lectures per week, plus daily recitation sessions. Lectures and recitations aside, students are expected to spend ten to twelve hours per week in private study. By the end of the semester, students are expected to be able to write about 100 Chinese characters, recognize about 370 characters, conduct basic conversations, read simple texts or conversations, and write simple sentences correctly in Chinese.
