Becoming proficient in Mandarin is a long haul, but it starts somewhere to build a simple conversation. This 10-week class is designed for non-native speakers who have very little or no exposure to Chinese learning. In this course, you will be introduced with the basic Mandarin sentence structures and vocabulary, as well as the application of Pinyin and tones, the standard Mandarin Romanization systems that is commonly used today. After studying for this ten-week class, you will be able to ask and answer questions in Mandarin and hold a simple conversation with your Chinese friends and coworkers.
Writing – There will be 15 minutes in each session that is used to study simplified Chinese characters.

I was introduced to INSPIRLANG from my sister who took the beginning level Cantonese class. Having an interest in learning Mandarin, I decided to try out the beginning Level 1 Mandarin class with Feng Liang. Previously, I had been listening to a Mandarin podcast in an attempt to self-educate, but felt that I was missing the interactive component necessary to progress. I was very happy that I made the decision to enroll in Feng Liang's class!
Feng is patient and encouraging. He engages and challenges me to apply the new vocabulary to everyday conversations. He is helpful in answering questions, explaining cultural nuances, and defining aspects of the words to help me remember them. I highly recommend the Mandarin classes with Feng Liang. I look forward to taking the next Level 2 course!
