Hong Zeng's Chinese language and culture

This is the first and only course on Udemy teaching business Chinese

language. Since China has risen to be the biggest economic body in the

world, learning business Chinese will greatly boost your business with

China, the biggest supplier in the world market.Through this course, you

can learn the fundamental aspects and essential usage of Mandarin

Chinese used in conducting business. It has five sections and around 40

lectures, altogether 8 hours. The sections are as following:

1)introduction; 2) business reception, including welcoming your

business guests, arranging business meal, taking taxi, registering for

the hotel and changing foreign currency; 3) business negotiation,

including negotiation of price, packaging, shipping, minimum order and

signing the contract; 4) find business partners, including lectures on

looking for supplier, joint business partner, sales agent,etc; 5) Amazon

FBA business, including participating in Hong Kong trade exhibition,

and contacting Chinese suppliers listed on Alibaba. For each topic on

one specific business occasion, there are three lectures: the first

lecture teaches the vocabulary and grammar used on that business

occasion, and provides sentence by sentence explanation for the business

dialogue text. The second lecture is your text practice of business

dialogue under my drilling (you read after me sentence by sentence and

answer questions about the dialogue text), the third lecture is an

acting/performing video of that dialogue to reinforce your learned and

practiced business language. It takes you about one month to finish the

whole course that would be extremely useful and comprehensive for

teaching you the language to conduct business with China. The instructor

is Professor Hong Zeng, an award-winning professor of Chinese for 16

years at prestigious American universities, such as UNC, Chapel Hill,

College of William and Mary, Swarthmore and Carleton College, Hamline

University. She has taught Chinese language at all levels, including

courses in business Chinese. Numerous American students taught by her

have found jobs in prestigious business companies using their learned

Chinese skill. Through this course, you would be very confident to

conduct business with China in authentic, elegant business Chinese. Any

students interested in learning Business Chinese can take this course,

because its detailed explanation on vocabulary, grammar and text

facilitates learning from the scratch. However, since business Chinese

is understandably more formal and sophisticated in vocabulary than daily

Chinese, it is strongly advised that students would take my other two

courses, "College Mandarin Chinese on Your Own" beginning and

intermediate level to learn the basic Chinese sound, writing and grammar

system as necessary preparation for this course.
