Basic Chinese for New Students

Everytime we have new students coming to our school we face the problem they never studied Chinese in the past. To make easier the integration of these students in regular lessons, I use the basic contents in this booklet. Without overwhelming the student with too much information, it has the essentials to start understanding Chinese quickly.

The book includes links to explanatory videos that will facilitate the student's task of assimilating content and will allow them to become familiar with the pronunciation of Mandarin Chinese. It includes:

· Basics on Chinese Tones and Consonant pronunciation (with videos)

· Basic Vocabulary:

* 8 personal pronouns

* 6 family members

* 24 useful terms

* Numbers (0-10)

* 10 adjectives

* +10 essential verbs

· 6 Basic Grammar points

· Introduction to Chinese characters.

· Additional points to keep on growing in the language.

I hope it is useful for you! Enjoy!
