Business Chinese LV.2 — Introduction — Welcome! What This Course Covers

Panpan
Welcome to Business Chinese LV.2 — an intermediate business-Chinese course that builds on LV.1. This course also has 90 lessons, but the situations get more demanding: explaining reasons, making requests, describing problems, and coordinating in real operational moments — rescheduling a meeting on short notice, explaining a damaged shipment, or negotiating payment terms. Every lesson now unpacks into 8-10 conversations. This course sits at an HSK 4-5 level, for learners who've finished LV.1 or already have intermediate Chinese.

Today's Grammar

This level emphasizes explaining, requesting, and coordinating — more than the simple sentences of LV.1. Pay attention to patterns for explaining a reason and politely asking for help.
