Advanced Beginner Mandarin







Advanced Beginner Mandarin
In-Person • Tue 7:30–9:00 PM • Starts Sept 29
Who this is for: This class is for students who have completed the foundations of Integrated Chinese Vol 1 (Lessons 1-5/6) or an equivalent curriculum (see details in the pictures). You should already be comfortable discussing family, dates, times, hobbies, and visiting friends. This small, conversation-focused group class will reinforce your past knowledge while pushing you toward intermediate fluency. (Not sure if you are ready for this level? Email info@unlockchinese.com to request a free, quick level assessment!)
Class Size: 3 to 6 students. We cap classes at 6 students to ensure everyone gets plenty of speaking time. (Note: Classes require a minimum of 3 enrolled students to run. In the event a class does not form after you’ve paid for the full course, you will receive a full refund or a transfer to another time).
What you will learn:
Review & Mastery (Lessons 1–6): Reinforce foundational topics (family, time, hobbies, visiting friends) until you can use them freely in conversation.
Phone Calls & Appointments (Lesson 6): Learn phone etiquette and how to confidently schedule or change plans.
Discussing Studies (Lesson 7): Talk about your language learning experience, study habits, and fluency.
Daily Routines (Lesson 8): Build vocabulary to describe your typical day and tell longer, narrative stories.
Grammar Expansion: Use directional words, time duration, and sequence markers (first, next, then) to speak more naturally. (See the image gallery above for the detailed week-by-week syllabus!)
Materials: We use Integrated Chinese Vol 1. For this level, we will do a quick reinforcement of earlier lessons and start new material from Lesson 6/Lesson 7. Digital learning materials are included with your registration. You can also purchase a new textbook and workbook set directly from us with a $20 discount after signing up for the course. (Curious about the exact weekly breakdown? Swipe through the images above to see our full syllabus).
Want to test the waters first? Join the first session as a Trial for just $25! If it is a great fit and you want to stay for the remaining 5 weeks, you only pay the remaining $425. (Your $25 trial counts directly toward the $450 total tuition).
