During Chinese level 7 you will further expand your proficiency in reading, writing, speaking and listening. Besides general vocabulary, you will learn expressions and terms that you can use in business communication.
Once you have completed this course you will be able to use Chinese in daily life, for example ordering food in a restaurant, conversing with an acquaintance or explaining your symptoms to a GP. You can also get along in business situations, such as pitching your ideas in a meeting, providing supporting arguments and responding orally and in writing to questions or responses.
Grammar covered during Chinese level 7 includes sentences using ba that indicate direction or consequences, and the constructions 如果…就 and 只有...才.
