All the courses in JOY are developed into four stages

Stage 1

Book: Joy Chinese in 3 months

Focus: Conversation

Focusing on conversation, ¡°JOY Chinese in 3 months¡± is a 'surviving' course which is designed for beginners who have classes two or three times a week. The full course can be finished in 3 months. The lessons begin with proper pronunciation of Mandarin. Then students will learn ¡°Greetings¡±, ¡°Introductions¡±, ¡°What Is This¡±, ¡°Taking a Taxi¡±, ¡°Time¡±, ¡°Date¡±, ¡°Shopping¡±, ¡°Going to a Restaurant¡±, ¡°Seeing a Doctor¡±, ¡°Holidays in China¡± and other common encounters. Lesson 15 and Lesson 17 cover some special Chinese sentence structures that are very popular in daily Chinese speaking but cannot be found in English grammar. Finally, since language is such an important aspect of the Chinese culture, Lesson 16 introduces Chinese politeness to help in common social situations.

Stage 2

Book: Practical Spoken Chinese& Chinese Conversation for Foreigners

Focus: Conversation

This stage can help students to learn more Chinese words and improve their speaking ability. It is a process to advance students from beginners to inter-medium levels.

Stage 3

Book: New Chinese Situational Dialogues & Easy Way to earn Chinese Characters

While students can smoothly express themselves in Chinese, they will also start the Chinese character course. They will learn basic Chinese characters, their structures, and the way to look them up in a dictionary.


Stage 4

Book: New Practical Chinese Reader

Language is an important aspect of culture. This level focuses on culture as well as the four skills of language: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Through a study of Chinese culture students will have a better understanding of the Chinese language.
