Level One

Pinyin is considered a very handy and intuitional tool for the Western learners to master the language's pronunciation. The students, at this level, become familiar with the Chinese writing system and start to learn Hanzi (Chinese characters). Topics include: basic greetings and introduction; conversation about one's family, hobbies, etc.
