Chinese Conversational Fluency II

Disagreeing politely, structuring a real argument, using idiomatic expressions naturally, and organizing longer spoken thoughts — the tools that separate "understandable" from "fluent."

Prerequisites

Chinese Conversational Fluency I and HSK 4-6 recommended.

What You'll Learn

Disagree and push back politely in conversation
Structure a persuasive point in spoken Chinese
Use a handful of common idiomatic expressions naturally
Organize a longer spoken explanation with discourse markers
Rephrase yourself gracefully when you've been misunderstood

Fluency I covered the glue for everyday conversation. This course goes further: expressing real disagreement without sounding rude, structuring a persuasive point the way a native speaker would, using a few genuinely common idiomatic expressions naturally, organizing a longer spoken explanation so it doesn't ramble, and repairing real miscommunication — not just asking someone to repeat themselves, but actually rephrasing yourself when you're the one who wasn't clear.
