- Intermediate Conversational Chinese Mandarin
-
A level two class in Conversational Chinese Mandarin, building on the beginning level Conversational Chinese. This intermediate level two class dives deeper into conversational areas such as introductions, academic study and jobs, daily life, your hometown, eating and drinking, and clothing/apparel, and explores expanded examples of written characters. NOTE: The NISD beginning level Conversational Chinese class is not an absolute prerequisite to register for this Intermediate class, however it is highly recommended; or, alternatively, that the student will already have taken an equivalent beginning level Conversational Chinese class through another source.

The textbook can also be purchased from various online sources, but students should wait until the week before the first class date, in case the class is canceled due to insufficient registrations. Avoid risk by purchasing at the first class session.
