Chinese (Mandarin Chinese) 101 and 102 are the first-year Chinese courses. The prerequisite for 102 is Chinese 101. No prior instruction in Chinese is required. These courses emphasize the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). Chinese is both the official spoken language of the People’s Republic of China and also of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Initial instruction in this course uses a Romanized phonetic system instead of actual Chinese characters (ideographs). This enables students to rapidly master basic Chinese pronunciation and to immediately begin simple conversation in the language. Shortly thereafter, instruction of actual Chinese characters begins. Students will learn about the creation and evolution of Chinese characters including structure, strokes, order and the “traditional versus simplified” character usage.
