    The connection wasn't always stable, and there were times when I couldn't hear the pronunciation clearly. But the instruction was very polite and kind.

  • Gyousetsu
    GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-25 16:43:58

    I'm at the beginner pronunciation stage. The tutor explains things in a detailed and easy-to-understand way, and I can review any parts I'm uncertain about, so I'm able to take enriching lessons. I look forward to working with you in the future.

  • Mona
    MonaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-24 20:32:15

    Today, I studied lessons 36-47 from "Common Conversational Chinese! 326 Essential Chinese Sentences." There were many useful phrases that I can use in daily conversations, and I'm excited to try them out soon.

  • Mona
    MonaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-24 20:29:18

    I made progress with today's vocabulary study. Since there are expressions similar to Japanese as well as expressions that are completely different, it's enjoyable to learn.

  • Sumika
    SumikaTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-24 05:35:46

    In class, I learned a new phrase "恶作剧" (practical joke), and then I reviewed the difference between "调皮" (mischievous) and "恶作剧" (practical joke).

    Today, I had my first lesson with Teacher Sumika through NetChai.

    The tutor teaches me the "points I often miss on my own" when reading texts aloud, which I wouldn't notice by myself. This helps me overcome my weaknesses effectively.

  • Arin
    ArinTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-22 05:30:26

    After the lesson, I reviewed the subtle difference between "几在一起" and "堆在一起", and I think I finally understand the difference between "correct" and "so-so" in my comprehension!

    I asked for pronunciation guidance today. The tutor kindly pointed out areas where my pronunciation still needs work, such as the differences between 'in' and 'ing', 'z' and 'c', and the 'hot r' sound.

  • Sakiko
    SakikoTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-19 21:36:25

  • Gyousetsu
    GyousetsuTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-19 20:37:44

    Today, I learned about the usage of 请・别・吧, and the differences in pronunciation between front nasal and back nasal sounds. In particular, learning about the differences between front nasal and back nasal pronunciation gave me a great opportunity to review my pinyin and double-check my pronunciation mistakes! I look forward to continuing with you!

  • Asaki
    AsakiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-17 21:48:53

    The tutor's Japanese level is quite high. While their profile listed N2, they're actually around N4, so it helps to be able to speak with them in Japanese.

  • Asaki
    AsakiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-17 21:47:56

  • Asaki
    AsakiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-17 21:47:19

    Chinese has so many similar pronunciations that without properly articulating tones and pinyin, communication breaks down completely in real situations. I really struggled with this, but my teacher patiently corrected me on each and every point, and I'm truly grateful!

  • Mochi
    MochiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-10-17 16:34:52
