Description
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
- This course is for people who already have a basic command of Chinese.
- This course is for people who have already finished our Elementary Chinese Course (HSK Level 1).
- This course can be used to prepare for the test of HSK Level 2. It covers almost all the vocabulary and grammar points of the test of HSK Level 2.
- If you want to speak Chinese more confidently and better understand spoken Chinese, if you want to have a deeper knowledge of the structure of Chinese grammar, or if you simply want to take your Chinese to the next level, this course can help you achieve your goal.
- This course is perfect for people who plan to learn Chinese all by themselves or with limited time.
