In this video, you will learn along with Joyce as she explains the Chinese character 在 (zài) which is useful grammatically in these following ways:

-to explain the existence in a place 
-to explain actions in progress 
-to explain location with "zai... shang / xia / li" 
-to explain location by using "zai" before verbs 
...among other uses.

Joyce also introduces the character 校 (xiào) which most commonly represents a school or campus.

The student's level in this video can be described as Level II or III. You can learn more about which level YOU may be at by checking here: https://goo.gl/5tidHm

Chinese level II and III is for Chinese learners who can conduct basic conversations but the communication is somewhat dependent on repetition at a slower rate, or paraphrasing. You can ask and answer simple questions in areas of immediate need or on very familiar topics. You can understand very short and simple texts a single phrase at a time.

You will study topics such as asking directions and time, exchanging money, booking tickets and introducing family members and friends. You may learn basic structures of Chinese characters, if needed.
