ABOUT THE COURSE

Curriculum

The HSK 5 level has 5 courses of 12 lessons each. Our curriculum is set based on Chinese HSK Level 5. The topics covered in this course are normally relevant to current affairs, and traditional Chinese culture, history and literature; these are partly from HSK textbooks, and partly from other media PM academic team curates from newspaper, drama to short videos. These two levels are the training students need to become a 中国通, to maintain and improve your fluency levels.

Training modules

Well done if you if you are looking at courses at these two levels. You must be able to engage in a conversation on various social contexts with a native speaker, and you know what you are looking to improve your Mandarin, to ideally be comfortable with any speaking speed or even regional accents. Reading newspaper and watching Chinese TV programs might still be a challenge to you, but that’s our training goal.

Learning content

For learning material, we use HSK Standard Course Book Level 5 to set the curriculum and for reading, while all other tutorial presentations, learning assessment games, fluency practice worksheet and immersive videos are all originally developed by PM academic team, and are exclusive to our students.
