Chinese Foundation is an introduction to the Mandarin language delivered by the Confucius Institute. This course will run for eight weeks every Tuesday night from 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm.

Welcome to The Chinese Foundation 1 class! This will be your first step toward success in studying Chinese.

There are only eight lessons on Chinese pronunciation in this book. However, after learning these lessons, a solid foundation will be established in pronunciation and the basic knowledge of Chinese characters. 

In addition to Chinese pronunciation and basic characters, this course will also familiarise you with those dialogues commonly used in daily communication. This Chinese Foundation class is the key to enter the world of the Chinese language.
