HLCC Learn Chinese English and More

Generally in China a native child can fluently speak Chinese before they go to school. However, most of them speak some Chinese dialect at home and their level in official Chinese (Mandarin) is less than average.

In the first month of school they will learn Chinese phonetic symbols, pinyin (very important in pronunciation) and then Chinese characters in some simple short text, whith emphasis in readings and writings. At the end of the second year they will have learned almost all common Chinese characters and words allowing them to read newspapers and books (except for specific vocabularies like computer science or ancient literature).
