Learned Chinese grammar, culture, and vocabulary using simplified characters.
My reading and speaking fluency have increased dramatically over the course of the semester. Meng LaoShi also does a great job at relating the topics learned in class to our own lives in order for us to be better communicators.
I improved my oral speaking skills, learned more grammar and sentence structures, as well as improved my reading and listening comprehension.
I enhanced my understanding of the Chinese language and culture through Meng Laoshi and my peers. I gained a more nuanced understanding of Chinese traditions, customs, and practices. I learned to read, write, speak, and practice my Chinese in a conversational, intimate, class setting.
