By the end of the first year, students are able to maintain conversations on general topics, understand adapted dialogues in the target language, and translate into and from Chinese texts of at least HSK 1 level. At the end of the second year of study, students have more advanced speaking, listening and writing skills, as well as a developed understanding of the structure of the language. Furthermore, students are able to maintain simple dialogue (on the topics: family, school, work and flat rent) and translate into and from Chinese texts of at least HSK 2 level. During the third year, the course provides advanced speaking, listening and writing skills and a more detailed understanding of the structure, morphology, syntax and phonetics of the language. By the end of the third year, students are able to maintain a sustained dialogue (on the topics: shopping, Chinese cuisine, going to a restaurant) and translate into and from Chinese texts of at least HSK 3 level.

At the end of the final year, students are able to maintain a sustained dialogue (on the topics: medication, travelling and tourism) watch adapted and non-adapted films in Chinese, and translate into and from Chinese texts at a level of at least HSK 4.
