HSK Standard Course Level 2: 2.2

On this five-week intermediate course from ChinesePlus, you’ll further your knowledge of the Chinese language and develop your reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.

Through engaging videos and content, as well as the opportunity to engage with native speakers, you’ll explore more phrases, grammar, and pronunciations to use in everyday situations.

Building on your existing bank of phrases and greetings, you’ll learn more expressions throughout this course, such as talking about food and drinks, and discussing exams and studies.

You’ll also explore posing questions, specifically how to ask the reason for things and how to ask for help.

Intonation is very important in language as it conveys the attitude, emotion, and intention of a sentence. Generally speaking, in Chinese, interrogative sentences have a rising intonation and declarative sentences have a falling intonation.

On this course, you will practise the intonations of Chinese sentences: rising intonation and falling intonation. By learning about Chinese intonations, you’ll be able to better convey your intentions when speaking.

As you develop your understanding of the Chinese language, you’ll explore the contemporary culture and life in China, allowing you to recognise the nuances of the language.
