040089 KU Speaking Lab 1a (2022W)

The purpose of this course is to get to know the Pinyin system of Chinese and to be able to pronounce characters and words in their correct initials, finals and tones.
Listening and recgonize the correct sound is also a very important part of the course.
During the course, you will listen and imitate the pronunciation of the learning material related to the "new words" and "dialogues" in the book "Pratical Chinese" (same material as Modern Chinese). Individual corrections of the pronunciation will be done each time during the course. Games for pronunciation will be integrated.

On Moodle-Platform you will find the learning materials one week before the course starts. The learning materials contain the text (Lesson 1-Lesson 10), new words, exercise for pronunciation and audio data.
