Chinese for Beginners - Number and Date

This short course teaches you about Chinese numbers and dates to help you become proficient in the use of symbols for each digit as you learn to count from zero to one hundred. Learning fundamental Mandarin Chinese vocabulary will enable you to experiment with terms, pick up new words and improve your communication abilities whether you wish to study Chinese extensively or just understand its basics.

We examine holidays like Valentine's Day, Christmas, Labour Day and explain how to discuss them using the phrasing you have learnt in this course.
