ChinaMateA real connection to China.

ILLUSTRATIVE SERVICE SCENARIO

Chinese you can use in your next conversation.

A personal lesson built around a practical goal, from ordering noodles to introducing yourself at work.

The situation

For example, you are preparing for your first trip to China and want to order food more confidently. Instead of memorising a long vocabulary list, work through a small conversation with your tutor.

What a session could look like

  1. Before the session, share your level and goal. Agree a lesson plan, tutor, language, duration and fee separately from friend membership.

  2. Practise greetings, ordering and asking a follow-up question through a video role-play. Pause for pronunciation help and repeat the parts you find useful.

  3. Finish with a short conversation using the new phrases. Agree a small practice task and the focus of a future lesson if you want one.

What you can take away

  • A focused one-to-one lesson with a goal agreed in advance.
  • Useful phrases, pronunciation feedback and practice notes in the agreed format.
  • An optional longer learning plan based on your level and schedule, quoted separately.
