IN THIS LESSON

  • Self-introduction 

  • Small talk 

  • Describing people 

  • Filling out forms 

  • Making polite conversation 

It also connects with other beginner and intermediate learning areas like:

  • Using "是" (shì) and "做" (zuò) properly in sentences

  • Using "在" (zài) to talk about workplaces

  • Forming questions with "什么" (shénme) and "吗" (ma)
