More Chinese for Beginners

Peking University expands the oral language introduced in its initial beginner course. Everyday situations support expressions for suggestions, comparisons, experiences and plans. The provider does not require Chinese-character knowledge, so the course can suit learners whose immediate priority is spoken communication.

What you will learn

• Expand vocabulary for familiar daily-life topics.
• Use expressions for suggestions and comparisons.
• Practice listening and speaking in context.

Who this suits

Learners with sufficient English to follow the lessons; prior Chinese for Beginners study is recommended.

Before you enroll

Check whether the current syllabus and audio practice match your starting level. HSK preparation courses may use an older exam outline, so compare it with the requirements for your intended exam. Completion does not guarantee a proficiency score.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Record two versions of a fictional plan, using a suggestion in one and a comparison in the other, then check whether the intended meanings remain clear.
