Chinese Course I b - HSK 1
notification_important
We don't have any courses available at the moment, please come back later.

After a number of months of remote and hybrid teaching, we have reviewed the COVID-19 guidelines and the preference of our students and have decided to continue with our Hybrid course format as well as a number of remote courses in January 2021. The Hybrid course format efficiently combines Face-to-face (up to 4 students) and Remote teaching with flexibility for you.

Click here for more information on our Hybrid courses.
 

After course I a, course I b prepares you further for the HSK1 exam, which you will be able to pass after this course.

You will continue to practise with the textbook and exam material in which reading, speaking and listening are discussed in detail. Some attention will also be paid to writing the basic characters. In addition, you will receive information about - mainly contemporary - Chinese culture.

You will have plenty of opportunity to train your listening skills in class, but especially on KickstartNet, our digital learning environment. The grammar in this course will be a bit more difficult and by expanding the vocabulary you will be able to have a longer conversation.

With the HSK1 diploma you can show that you have reached a first level, which helps in your contacts with Chinese business partners or while studying or working in China. It is not compulsory to take the exam, but practising for it is a very effective way to learn.

The language of instruction in the course is English, which makes this course suitable for both Dutch and Expats. Young adults are also more than welcome. In this course you will find the ideal combination of increasing your communication skills with targeted exam training.

I attended two courses of Chinese at the Kickstartschool since January 2020 (with the corona they swifted fluently to remote lessons, my compliments!) and I can really say I'm able to talk and understand some Chinese. Loved the classes; not too quick or slow and we discussed interesting subjects. Higly recommandable!

The course Communicating in Chinese 2 was taught by a very enthusiastic teacher. The pace of the course was good, there was enough attention for every student. I enjoyed taking the course very much.
