🙋Who This Is For

Open-conversation lessons with native Chinese tutors, for beginner through advanced students.

📚Lessons & Materials

No specific materials required.
Topics are available for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

Of course, any topic works — your day, questions about China, news from any country, and more.

Your tutor rephrases what you want to say with better grammar and more natural expressions, so you sound more like a native speaker.

All tutors hold JLPT N2 or higher, so you can ask questions in Japanese whenever needed.

Prefer a set topic? Log in and choose from the "Free Talk Topics" list in the left member menu. Speak in Chinese as much as you can, and let your tutor correct your vocabulary, expressions, and grammar in real time.

To stay up with China, we recommend the widely read Chinese news sites below.

Using news as free talk material is highly effective — you pick up current words and phrases no dictionary covers, and get a real-time window into today's China.

📰Recommended news sites

• Sina (sina.com.cn) — Sina — China's largest portal site
• QQ News — QQ News — run by China's largest social network
• Baidu News — Baidu — well known in Japan too
• Sohu — Sohu — one of China's major portal sites

MoreNetChai Media Online Chinese News There you can download PDFs (Chinese text, pinyin, and Japanese translation) and MP3 recordings of the passages read aloud by tutors.

After the lesson, review as many times as you like by replaying the tutor's recording and checking it against the script.

All free — a great way to follow today's China and sharpen your Chinese.

🎯Course Goals

Unlike textbook lessons, free talk puts output first — the goal is to use what you already know freely and confidently.

Too much input and you'll struggle to speak when it counts. Once you have a solid base, use free talk to shift the balance toward output.
