What Our Students Say:
'Learning Chinese while a challenge, was made enjoyable by the fabulous and patient instructor. We had fun learning to speak with each other in class and I can't wait to start the next course.'
Dr Lyn Ebert, Program Convenor Midwifery Studies, School of Nursing and Midwifery
'The course enables me to build on some basic knowledge of Mandarin with some stronger knowledge of sounds, tones and sentence structure. The recording and homework for each week is not arduous and provides a good overview of each week's class content.'
Lilly Rodger, Customer Service Co-ordinator, Infrastructure & Facilities Services
