Traveller’s Chinese
CCOM 2015
Planning a trip, teaching or doing business in
China? Enjoy your travels more by learning some basic Chinese. This
course is for those with no knowledge of Chinese. Emphasis is on
developing simple conversational skills; pronunciation, greetings and
short sentences to ask for such things as food, drink, shelter and
directions. You'll also learn about every day and local expressions,
along with Chinese culture, customs and some history. You'll practice
your Chinese in one-on-one situations with your classmates for settings
such as business meetings, restaurants, taxis, airports, hotels, and
cultural sites - such as the Great Wall of China! By the end of this course, you'll feel confident making simple requests and asking basic
questions, and have a set of useful expressions under your belt!
Materials: It would be helpful to purchase Lonely Planet's Mandarin Phrasebook (CD not required).
