Chinese Language Basics Course (Introductions)
In addition to the morning “haggling” course, China Reflection is also offering a “Chinese basics” course for those China Reflections’ guests who just want to learn how to meet people, start a conversation, ask the way, ask questions, and most importantly: get someone to laugh and have fun. Bring questions with you. What do you want to say to your host family? Maybe you saw someone walking down the street that you wanted to talk to, but you just didn’t know how. And yesterday you stepped on an old lady’s foot but just couldn’t say anything to her about it? We take all different levels and understand completely that no one can learn Chinese in a day. We will even teach a simple Chinese song, as this ability is sure to surprise just about anyone you meet in the street and can be quite useful for those uncomfortable moments you are sure to have in China. Just throw yourself in headfirst and have fun. After class, we will enjoy some local Beijing specialties for lunch.
Because China Reflection is devoted to low impact ecotourism, we have arranged our gathering points near metro stations for your convenience. Despite being overcrowded at times, Beijing has a safe and efficient metro system. By using this system, guests help to support public transportation, as well as having a chance to experience real Beijing from a more environmentally conscious viewpoint. From our meeting points we try to walk, ride bicycles or use public transport as much as possible to get to the final destination.
Estimated time of class: 3 hours
