Description

Speaking Mandarin confidently starts with more than knowing words. You need to hear natural Chinese, recognise the patterns, pronounce the tones accurately and know how to respond when a real conversation moves quickly. This course gives you 360 standard conversational sentences and guided practice to help you turn what you know into practical spoken Chinese, whether you’re starting from nothing or already have some basics.

How the course works

  • Build your speaking skills through interactive, student-centred dialogue practice based on everyday communication
  • Strengthen listening and response skills through spoken Chinese exchanges and practical exercises
  • Practise useful vocabulary and sentence patterns directly inside real conversational contexts
  • Use role-playing activities based on situations such as introducing yourself, ordering food, asking for directions, shopping and making appointments
  • Work on the four Mandarin tones, pronunciation accuracy and commonly used expressions that make your Chinese easier to understand
  • Develop fluency by speaking actively throughout the lessons rather than simply studying explanations, in a supportive and immersive environment
  • Explore Chinese culture and etiquette so you understand not only what to say, but how communication works in context

Questions, answered

Do I need to finish another course before this one?

Yes. This course assumes you can already read and pronounce pinyin. Our Chinese pinyin course covers exactly that in under an hour if you haven't taken it yet.

Is this course mostly grammar or mostly speaking practice?

Speaking practice. Sentence patterns and tones are covered as tools for conversation, not as a standalone grammar course.

What situations does the course actually cover?

Introducing yourself, ordering food, asking for directions, shopping, making appointments, and similar everyday situations.

How do I access the course?

Instantly after payment. A download link appears on the confirmation page and in your email.

Is it lifetime access?

Yes. Download the videos and PDFs and keep them, including future updates.

Is this the right level for me?

Each course states its CEFR level. If you are unsure, take the free level test before you buy.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes, a certificate of completion is included when shown in the course details.

What is the refund policy?

Full refund within 30 days if the course is not for you. Just contact us.
