Student experience

What students say after one month

Real reflections from learners after their first month of speaking practice.

Speaking Chinese became easier for me, and I can now speak for longer and more naturally. I learned many useful expressions that I’ve already used in real conversations outside class. Every lesson was interesting and well structured, and I really appreciated the equal speaking time and thoughtful feedback.

VeronikaOriginally shared in Russian

I got better at following spoken Chinese and reacting more quickly. I looked forward to every lesson and really enjoyed the class. The natural expressions, corrections of my own phrases, discussions with other students, preparation materials, and feedback were especially useful.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a conversation club?

No. Speaking Lab uses structured discussion, guided interaction, preparation materials, and teacher feedback. Every session is designed as focused speaking training.

Do I need to prepare before class?

Yes. You receive preparation materials and vocabulary support before each session, so class time can focus on meaningful speaking and interaction.

Who is this for?

HSK3+ learners who already understand foundational Chinese and want to express ideas, respond more naturally, and build speaking confidence.

Will every week have the same topic?

No. Themes change from week to week, while the preparation, guided discussion, and feedback process remains consistent.

Why is there an assessment?

The short assessment helps Roots confirm that the group level is a good fit and that you can take part confidently from the first session.
