Hi, I'm Meiqi. I teach adults who understand some Chinese but freeze the moment they have to speak — and everything here is made for that moment.
20 must-know phrases for four everyday situations, ready-made patterns you can fill with your own words, and audio for every line.
Ten speaking topics with model texts, pinyin and English, audio in my own voice, and 5 listening questions per day. The companion to the free 30-day speaking challenge.
The next two packs come out as the challenge goes on. The handbook list is where I'll say when they're ready.
About me
Chinese is my first language, and I've studied English, Russian, French and Spanish. When I was learning them, I couldn't just say what I meant — I'd write the sentence down first, read it back to myself, and only then dare to open my mouth.
What finally changed it wasn't more vocabulary. It was structure: whole patterns the way native speakers actually say them, with my own words slotted in, so I had something ready before I opened my mouth.
That's the method I've spent 6 years teaching students all over the world, and it's what everything on this page is built on.
