Speak Putonghua \ Mandarin in 8 weeks The main purpose of learning a language is the natural and fluent application of the language in daily life. The complete course is divided into 4 modules with a total of 32 lessons. The duration of each lesson is 2 hr. and 10 min. and has four units: “Text”, “Words and Phrases”, “Review”, and “Extended Practice”. The Text Unit is practice-oriented, and its materials are drawn from daily life. The materials range from self-introduction to family, school, communication, and daily dialogues. The key and frequently used words and phrases are fully elaborated in the Word and Phrase Units. This unit not only helps the students understand the stroke order of the listed 500 words but also the phrases derived from these words as well. In the Review Unit, there are no phonetic symbols so as to enable the students to identify the words without the help of phonetic symbols, and get a better understanding of the texts. Finally, in the Application Unit, it is hoped that the students can lively apply the glossary they have learned and use the Chinese language naturally.
