Start having genuine conversations in Chinese, at any level. Whether you're a complete beginner or already know the basics, there's always more to explore and enjoy.
Conversational Chinese is for anyone who wants to actually use the language, not just study it. We focus on the things that come up in everyday life: chatting with colleagues, ordering food, meeting new people, or simply understanding what's going on around you.
All levels are welcome. Beginners start from zero with confidence, and more advanced learners expand their vocabulary, sharpen their listening, and iron out the gaps, things like sentence particles that no textbook explains well that have built up over time.
You don't need to reach a certain level before joining. Whether you've never studied Chinese or you've been learning for years, we shape the lessons around where you are right now.
Lessons are built around situations from real life. You tell us what matters to you and we build from there. Read how this works in practice: ordering food in China is a great example of conversational Chinese at its most useful.
Many of our students visit China for work: factory tours, supplier meetings, industry expos. They're not looking to negotiate contracts in Mandarin. What they want is the ability to connect with the people on the other side of the table as human beings.
A few well-placed sentences go an enormous way. Knowing how to introduce yourself, exchange WeChat, ask what a machine does, or send a short follow-up message that evening: that's the kind of Chinese we build together. We can help you prepare for a specific trip, or work on this scenario as a regular part of your lessons.
Everything runs online. All you need is a laptop, a time slot, and the motivation to speak.
Not at all. Complete beginners are very welcome. We start from the very beginning and make sure you are speaking real Mandarin from your first lesson, at whatever pace suits you. If you want a head start before your first lesson, our guide to Chinese tones is a good place to begin.
Most students can handle basic exchanges within a few weeks. Genuine back-and-forth conversations usually develop within two to three months, depending on how often you practice.
Yes. In your first lesson we talk about your goals and interests, and we build the lessons around what matters to you. Food, travel, work, daily life, just say so.
Packages are valid for a minimum of 6 months and up to one year from the date of purchase. This gives you plenty of flexibility around holidays and busy periods.
