Begin Your Mandarin Journey with Confidence This beginner-friendly Chinese course is created specifically for students with little or no prior experience in Mandarin. Based on my background teaching Chinese at a local university to a group of 15 students, the lessons are carefully structured to be clear, practical, and encouraging for new learners with good teaching materials including handouts. Rather than memorization alone, the course emphasizes understanding how the language works and using it naturally in everyday situations.
