I will teach an accessible introductory lesson on the Chinese language, covering some basic concepts and explaining how the composition of Chinese characters is tied to not only their meaning, but also China's historical and cultural background. The course will also include 'fun facts' about the Chinese language - for example, what happens if you add an extra dot on top of a certain character? Why do many characters share the same ‘radicals?' I hope that students will leave the class with a newfound appreciation - and budding interest - in the Chinese language!
