This workshop is designed for beginners who are interested in Mandarin-Chinese language. Beginning with the method of pronunciation, the students learn to speak Mandarin Chinese through daily conversations. Meanwhile, the principle of Chinese characters and common sentence patterns are introduced.  The students are expected to learn how to recognize and write Traditional Chinese characters. We hope students can learn basic Mandarin-Chinese step by step and appreciate the beauty of Chinese characters.
