Welcome to Language for Professionals in 中文

Welcome to our Chinese modules. Here we have a lot of resources for you to learn regarding interviews in Chinese. 

In the Chinese language modules, you will listen to three interviews with speakers from three different professions. Each of them answers some similar questions and some different ones. We break the entire interviews into 8 to 9 shorter video clips based on the topics. You will find them easy to follow and navigate.

This self-learning module for Chinese professionals is created by Dr. Miaochun Wei, a teaching assistant professor in the Chinese language at the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at The George Washington University. If you have any questions about the materials, please contact Dr. Wei at [email protected].

Practice is always key to successful learning. All these interviews start with a self-introduction. After viewing those interviewees of different professions, can you come up with your own self-introduction between 1 to 2 minutes, one slightly longer than an elevator self-introduction? Make sure you include these aspects in the self-introduction:

1. Name(s)
2. Nickname (if this matters to you and intended audience)
3. Where you are from
4. Your occupation(s) and where you work
5. Major/minor/concentration
6. Hobbies and interests
