200 hours'interactive Online Course, guiding you through Chinese pronunciation, grammar, and writing, makes Chinese learning in real-life situations effective, fast and fun.
Each lesson contains eight sections:outline, text movie, voice simulations, key sentences, vocabulary, role play, testing and character writing. They focus on the major skills of language learning: listening comprehension, speaking, reading comprehension, writing, grammar and vocabulary. Like Conversation Class LIVE™, each lesson focuses on one specific topic.
The outline part helps you understand the learning content and the key points of the lesson. The language is presented with flash movies, and imitation and role play makes you have a better understanding of the main text, and the key sentences and vocabulary sections tell you what you need to learn. The conclusion section gives you a chance to put what you have learned into practice.
As Confucius said, "Is that not after all a pleasure to learn and at due times to repeat what one has learned?" You can keep on practising for real at ChineseHour. You don’t need to remember when to practice in the learning process, the smart learning system will let you know. We also help you practice writing Chinese characters if this is something you want to do. You may write Chinese characters on your computer screen with the writing tool we prepared for you.
Just like the live conversation class, your classroom performance and learning status will be tracked and recorded as the learning report by ChineseHour learning system, and will be transmitted to you automatically.
ChineseHour learners may integrate the interactive Online Course with the live conversation class in the learning process. On completion of one level of the Online Course, you may attend the live class of the same level and check what you learned when conversing with your native teachers. You may compare your speaking with your native speaker teacher and then correct any mistakes in the self-paced course.
