Mandarin Chinese 2B
Description: Mizzou Academy has partnered with Rosetta Stone Education to offer this competency-based, interactive language learning course. Students will develop conversational speaking skills, build listening and comprehension skills through significant exposure and practice with native speakers, and will acquire reading and writing skills in their new language. Our online immersive language learning software supports the student in applying their language skills through lessons, interactive games, and live studio sessions with native speakers. Upon completion of this Mizzou Academy language course, learners will be prepared for a wide range of basic interactions with people, places, and things in their new language environment. In this course, students will be able to introduce themselves, politely greet others, explain simple activities that they are engaged in, indicate where various people and items are located in time and space, and express basic wants and needs. They will know the basic vocabulary required to begin talking about place of origin, jobs, hobbies, family members, interests (e.g., likes, dislikes), and emotions related to family, friends, or pets. They will be able to ask for directions to common urban landmarks and to inquire about or describe the identity, cost, quantity, and basic physical characteristics (e.g., color, size) of various items. Starting in the first year, and continuing throughout their entire Mizzou Academy world language experience, learners will develop conversational speaking skills, will build listening-comprehension skills through significant exposure to real native speakers, and will acquire basic reading and writing skills in their new language.
