Power point for Chinese greetings

Welcome

欢迎！

Thank you for embarking an exciting journey me in learning Chinese. This year, the unique feature of this class is the combination of students who are absolute beginners and who had one year of Chinese study under their belts. It can be both a challenge as well as an opportunity though. What we are going to do is to spend the coming year learning Chinese in the immersion style. Even though we are still going to use the textbook Chinese Link for reference, I'll be designing theme based topics for each class so that each one of you can benefit from the core curriculum, and yet learning with each individual's skill level.

Please feel free to contact me at any time during the year for questions and concerns.

我们现在要start to do final project. Good luck!
