Thinking of traveling to China or communicating with your colleagues from China? The Whole U and the Confucius Institute of the State of Washington (CIWA) have formed a partnership to offer a Language Tourism Chinese Course for UW faculty and staff. This 8-week course is designed for non-Chinese speakers who need help communicating while traveling in China. By the end of the course, you will be able to master the basic vocabularies for traveling, develop Mandarin (Putonghua) listening and speaking skills in order to understand common topics, and gain familiarity with Chinese culture.
