Chinese Conversational Fluency I

The connector words, natural fillers, and repair phrases ("what does that mean?", "can you say that slower?") that make real conversation flow — not more vocabulary, but the glue between it.

Prerequisites
HSK 1-3 recommended, or comfort with basic Chinese vocabulary.
What You'll Learn
  • Use the shadowing technique to build natural rhythm and pronunciation
  • Use natural connector words instead of speaking in disconnected sentences
  • Make everyday small talk
  • Express simple opinions
  • Ask for clarification and repair a conversation when you don't understand
  • Tell a simple story using time-order connectors

Knowing hundreds of words doesn't automatically make a conversation flow — that takes connector words (然后, 不过, 其实), natural small talk, and the survival phrases that let you recover gracefully when you don't understand something instead of freezing. This course builds directly on HSK1-3 vocabulary and focuses entirely on the glue between the words: how real conversations actually move.
