The HSK level 3 assesses how well you can apply everyday Chinese. It covers many relevant topics like discussing personal plans, comparing and describing people or things, Chinese culture and general etiquette. Each lesson has practice questions to help you grasp the essentials of grammar and vocabulary as you progress. Learning any new language entails dedicated effort and determination. As you listen and practise with each video lesson, your confidence in your abilities will increase. We will also test your knowledge of the Chinese characters on their own, without the use of pinyin. The exercise may sound challenging but we will guide you through each section.

The first module focuses on how to compare, emphasise and talk about changes. The Chinese language uses idioms expressed in four characters. How can these idioms enrich your vocabulary? We will explore common idioms and their usage along with new sentence structures. In addition, you will learn to express large and approximate numbers. The second module explains the correct use of conjunctions, classifiers and pronouns. You will become more comfortable using interrogative pronouns, complex complements and telling a story. Can you use more than one verb in a sentence? You can in Mandarin and this course level will teach many more grammar structures.
