Beginning Taiwanese CHIN 051 is designed to help you learn enough about Taiwanese to enable you to handle your needs adequately if you travel to Taiwan. At this survival level, you will learn to greet others, introduce yourself and handle basic social situations. You will also acquire the understanding of oral language typically heard in locations such as grocery store, train station, bus stop and night market. Self study and classroom participation are equally important for this course. You should complete each assignment before class so that the teacher may review the work. You should attend individual session regularly. You will have four quizzes and one final oral test. The preparation should include memorizing dialogue and listening to audio files.
