This English course, tailored for Mandarin speakers, provides a strong foundation in essential vocabulary and phrases for navigating everyday interactions. Covering greetings, common questions, numbers, colors, and basic grammar, it offers an accessible introduction to English.
The course takes a practical approach, focusing on frequently used phrases and sentence structure, including subject-verb-object order, which may differ from Mandarin. Learners will gain skills to form clear, grammatically correct sentences in real-world contexts.
Emphasizing pronunciation, the course addresses challenges specific to Mandarin speakers, such as "th" sounds and long vowels, with step-by-step guidance and practice. Silent consonants and word order rules, unfamiliar in Mandarin, are also covered, creating a thorough foundation for mastering English essentials.
The structure includes vocabulary lessons, grammar explanations, and practical application, along with cultural elements like articles ("a," "an," and "the")โconcepts not directly represented in Mandarin. These lessons equip students to use English confidently in both casual and formal situations.
Ideal for beginners, the course builds sequentially, reinforcing core concepts and introducing new material to maintain engagement. Conducted entirely in Chinese, it specifically addresses the needs of Mandarin speakers who wish to communicate effectively in English.
