- to begin the study of Chinese, The materials also introduce the teaching procedures used in

- Romanization, Numbers) are not optional; together with the Orientation Module, they are
- prerequisite to the rest of the course.</p><section class="section" title="Objectives" epub:type="subchapter" id="d0e848"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both">Objectives</h2></div></div></div><p>Upon successful completion of this module and the two associated resource modules, the
