Speak Zhong Wen is an online Chinese bootcamp for students who don’t get enough Chinese exposure. You'll practice expressing yourself every day with our teachers and classmates, completely through WeChat, and no scheduling required.
Would speaking Chinese more fluently help your professional or personal life, but you don't have a consistent environment to practice in?
Are 1-on-1 private Chinese lessons not helping fast enough?
Are you too busy or unmotivated to constantly be scheduling classes, that you later reschedule or cancel indefinitely?
Then Speak Zhong Wen was built specifically for you.
The only way to improve your Chinese is to practice speaking, and to practice speaking every day.
That's why we've designed this bootcamp to give you abundant opportunity to express yourself in Chinese, every day.
Our instructors provide speech prompts every morning to your classroom. The topics are widely varied, covering news, culture, history, daily life, and industry-specific discussions. They are also tailored to your needs, so you can practice speaking on topics that matter to you. The prompts are recorded videos, which include full subtitles in English and Chinese, so you never have a misunderstanding.
Converse with the class with WeChat voice notes. You can freely practice discussing the topics at hand with the teacher and other students. There is no limit to how much you can speak.
Get detailed feedback. The instructors will provide recorded video feedback with full subtitles, so you can replay, rehearse and improve your Chinese delivery. They'll provide examples of how to say your story better so you can try them out yourselves.
Practice and record. Use the instructors feedback to improve your delivery, and record yourself delivering a perfect speech. You'll have daily improvements saved to your phone.
