I can understand the text-book, but I get lost during real-world conversations!
In real life, people don’t speak like in the text-books. Making the jump can be tough, but you understand the text book because you’ve been exposed to it so often. Becoming familiar with the way people actually speak requires exposure and practice, so get started today!
I can read and write a bit of Mandarin, but I’m having trouble speaking it.
Our laser-focused lessons revolve around just a handful of vocabulary terms and sentence structures, repeated dozens of times during a 30 minute session. Fluency requires more than familiarity; the goal is to speak and understand without having to translate in your head -- the key for naturally flowing conversations.
I feel like my learning progress has hit a wall.
Our natural approach to learning employs the TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) method, which teaches through engaging stories and conversations, not abstract grammar rules. This approach is rooted in the latest neuroscience and cognitive psychology research; it will work for you!
Native Mandarin speakers talk too fast; I can't keep up!
In reality, they just speak in a different way than in the text books. When you learn to speak like a native, you’ll find that you can understand them much better and respond in kind. When you use the exact same way to speak Mandarin, you definitely will understand what native speakers talk about and respond in the same way.
This is the quickest way to improve your real-world understanding and get you sounding like a native
