Second Year Chinese I · East Asian Languages And Cultures
During this course, I learned more about speaking Mandarin with a particular emphasis on pronunciation and utilizing the correct tones.
My overall knowledge of Chinese improved a lot.
Vocabulary and grammar for communication in day-to-day life, Chinese cultural norms, reading, writing, listening, and speaking
New grammar structures, speaking conversationally, useful skills for how to connect personal/real life to language learning and practice!
Quizzes every week that start off as handwriting characters, but she switches to typing. Tests are pretty easy. Only downside is that it meets so often, but so do all the Chinese classes.

I learned so much about various topics, and improved my grammar greatly in this course. Qi Laoshi is incredible and cares so much for her students. She realized I was struggling and took an extra hour out of her week every week to help me catch up. I highly recommend this class.
As a Chinese American, I've wanted to learn how to speak my own language and I feel like this class has given me the opportunity/skills to do so.
In this class, I realize just how fun language learning can be. It feels like such a safe and supportive environment where you can genuinely practice language learning for the sake of language learning.
She is the sweetest professor ever. She genuinely about her students and makes the class very enjoyable. I was very sad that I could not take her class for the second semester. She makes learning Chinese fun and brings snacks for the class sometimes as well.
