Hello everyone,welcome! My name is John Wang. This is our very first Mandarin Chinese class. We will use the book Integrated Chinese. Here it is. I have been teaching Chinese for over 10 years. This is one of the best Chinese textbooks I have ever used. That’s why I choose the textbook for this video course. It is widely used in schools in the US and other countries. It improves your listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Chinese is not hard. In my opinion, it is very easy. I say that, not because I am a Chinese (yeah, of course I am). It is because I teach many years, many classes and many many students, I know how. Following me, it is not hard!
In addition, I will not only help you learn Chinese, but to understand and know the culture of China as well.
So far, over 4000 students have registered and they love my class. Why not go to lesson one right now !
Plus, right now, I have released the new course of Level 1 Part 2. To express my respect, I put eight of my new course videos here for free.
Thank you and see you soon!
(This course is based on the 3nd edition of the textbook. But all the Dialogues and vocabulary are almost the same as the 4th edition)
