This video gives an upcoming preview for part 2 of Learning Mandarin at a Simple, Beginner Level.
This course is dedicated to teaching Mandarin at a very simple level, and it is designed for both learners who are unsure if they want to learn the language, but are a little curious to explore more about it, its different aspects, etc, and would like to see if learning this language is really for them. It is also designed for learners who are interested in knowing and understanding the basics of Mandarin and want to master the fundamentals, as well as use it as a stepping stone to pursue further knowledge of the language. Even learners who are at an advanced or fluent level simply want to refresh their basic knowledge of Mandarin, can take this course as well. The instructor has tried his best to make the topics of this course as simple and as easy as possible to understand and learn, as Mandarin is known to be one of, if not, the most difficult language to learn, as some of its aspects such as the various tones for words and the colossal number of characters one needs to be familiar can be overwhelming, especially for new learners. With that being said, the instructor, who is a non-native speaker, became fluent, which means, so can you.
