I'm Here to Help You Bridge the Gap Between Textbook Chinese and Real Spoken Chinese. What do I mean by Real spoken Chinese? I'm talking about... unscripted, spontaneous and fast speech filler words, hesitations and incomplete sentences "incorrect" grammar, slang and regional accents real people, real opinions and real feelings... In other words, I'm talking about the kind of Mandarin you need to understand to be able to confidently communicate, socialize and build relationships with Chinese friends, colleagues, customers, love interests... My main focus at Mandarin HQ is to expose you to real spoken Chinese, and give you the tools you need to make sense of it. Simple as that.
