Description

My spoken Chinese course includes 20 lessons, and each lesson has many authentic expressions. Most of these expressions can’t be learned from textbooks, but they are commonly used in our daily life. If you are a beginner of Chinese, you can learn authentic and practical expressions at the beginning of your journey. If you are an intermediate or an advanced student, you can also use them as supplementary materials to reinforce what you have learned. This course is offered in Chinese with English subtitles.

  • 20 Chinese Speaking lessons

  • More than 160 dialogues

  • Well-crafted online course

  • Useful tips and techniques

  • Downloadable lesson notes


  • Free 30-minute 1:1 speaking class

Here are some reviews from current students.

“These lessons are so, so good!!!The student will learn not only from the dialogues but also just as much from the instructor's presentation. Be patient. Listen to the videos over and over again till you start to understand without resorting to the translation. I guarantee that in time this would be equivalent to spending time in China for language immersion. This set of lessons is the golden standard of how Chinese, or any other language for that matter, should be taught. I, for one, will be listening to these lessons until I can understand every single word spoken.”  -- Leonard Attard


"I am happy that there's a course like this. The module is not a typical classroom lesson that could be found on common textbooks but daily applications in real life. I'm a beginner and I need to improve my listening capabilities. I love how the instructor pronounce the words and tones very well in each lesson. I'm 100% sure this is beneficial for beginners like me."--Arlan Intal


I look forward to this course. It seems to be a practical approach for listening and speaking practice. -- Stephen Madari
