MartaDenver Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'm a Polish student who just graduated from PhD program in Biology. I have being offered a Post Doc position in a lab in China. I'm looking for a way to improve my Spoken Mandarin before I start the new position. Are there any good ways to practice with Native Mandarin speakers? Before I came to the US I used a website called www.spokenenglishpractice.com which helped me a lot in improving my English speaking. I want to do the same thing with Mandarin. Again, I'm not looking for elementary grammar lessons - I'm looking more for conversation Mandarin, with a native speakers. Thanks, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexie9299 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Hi, you can try http://www.italki.com/ or https://www.verbling.com. Both websites have free and paid Chinese sessions. Enjoy the process of learning Chinese and your stay in China! : ) Edited March 2, 2015 by lexie9299 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeno Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Nciku is pretty good as a tool. There are some books you should try buying: "Conversational Mandarin Online" by Tim Xie (its a book). Beyond that? Brainscape has some basic flashcards which are useful. Check them out if you get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
