I am interested in taking the introductory chinese language class being offered in Fall 2026.

https://registrar.princeton.edu/course-offerings/course-details?term=1272&courseid=001066

The course detail suggests "Chinese 103 is designed for students who already have some familiarity with spoken Mandarin or any Chinese dialect."

Since I am an absolute beginner with zero knowledge of Chinese, what would one suggest I should do in Summer, to get some familiarity with Chinese language?

Thanks!!!
