Mandarin · AQA GCSE 8673
The Mandarin GCSE course
Every word of AQA's minimum core vocabulary list, taught in the order the specification is organised: the core words first, then the three themes, Foundation before Higher. AQA calls it a guide rather than a closed list, so the exam will also use words beyond it. 673 words across 10 chapters, with the prescribed grammar interleaved.
