If you’d like to improve your Chinese speaking skills, I’ve created a program designed to help you make rapid progress using conversation templates, speaking practices, and conversation drills. It’s the most complete Chinese speaking tutorial to build your confidence step by step.

For example, in the module about shopping in Chinese, you’ll learn how to navigate conversations when you first enter a clothing store. You’ll practice how to tell the staff what you’re looking for, ask about colors and sizes, inquire about promotions or discounts, try on clothes, make a payment, learn about membership benefits, and even request a bag or handle returns and exchanges.

This step-by-step approach will help you overcome the fear of speaking Chinese and handle real-life situations with ease. Enroll the course here.
