Aim to raise my level of mandarin to have conversation with a few hundred million more people..........and have a decent chinese accent! Who wouldn't like to be able to talk to more people? Remember that success comes from failure. You found a way that doesn't work for you. 怎么提高中文水平？ 我想学很当地的普通话但我词汇量太少了。 虽然说出来汉语不太准确，我想提高听力。。 很多时吊儿郎当。 http://www.aegisub.org/ http://www.sherrodcomputers.com/products_filerenamer.cfm https://www.wavosaur.com/ http://www.povalyaev.com http://www.audacityteam.org http://subs2srs.sourceforge.net https://apps.ankiweb.net http://www.laurenceanthony.net/software/antconc/ http://www.laurenceanthony.net/software/antpconc/ https://www.docdroid.net/m5XHrWn/antconc.docx#page=3 http://www.huayuworld.org/upload/epaper/106/index.html http://www.hongkongtesol.com/blog/2018/01/unqualified-efl-teachers-are-doing-themselves-and-their-students-injustice (Hard to teach a language) http://sports.sina.com.cn/others/badmin/2018-04-13/doc-ifzcyxmu1608006.shtml Beginner's guide to italki (see below link) https://www.italki.com/discussion/203952

谢谢瑞昌这么详细的反馈！你说的对，有时候聊天可以帮助我们练习使用学过的词汇，然后能更好地表达自己。我们下个星期见！

    @phil

    To be honest, after they removed the instant tutoring feature, I sort of lost interest in italki and booking lessons. Even the regular lessons were stopped and I got on with other things in life. I think your work around doesn't work so well for me. I am usually with community teachers who sometimes have other jobs.

    I also decided to improve listening skills so it was mainly trying to listen to recorded sentences and transcribe or translate them. Did that on my own.

    Didn't bother with grammar too much hoping to absorb the patterns for the time being.

    Sometimes, I do shadowing but yeah, lost that instant tutoring feature which fitted in really well with my unpredictable time schedule.

    "Book now"
    Hi all.

    Just visited italki after being away for a while.

    I noticed in the filters a function called "book now". What does it do?

    Thanks in advance

    @miriam

    Looks interesting.

    it seems we would need to message the tutor by some other means to ask if they are available and then they send the lesson invitation to us.

    学语音要马上说话 很久没有来italki平台。 我刚刚看一个英语老师的讨论话题。话题里他说开始学英语要马上试试说英语。以前开始学外语我跟这个学法，后来我不同意。为什么改变了？我的经验中发现我可以说外语（普通话）但是听答案的时候不能了解，让我信心差一点，自己很失望，结果动力没有也停学了。看以前的经验我觉得当初的时候花很多时间跟老师学普通话的发音音调最帮助。最近我对学普通话兴趣有开始。不过学法不一样的，把录音我注重练习听力。如果一句话里听不清楚，我重覆听，有时候要听40-50次以上。我的计划是百分之八十的时间学普通话是练习听力， 小部分的时间加多一点词汇量也模仿。如果没有听力，不能沟通。我不用英语写下来我的想法，因为不想影响很多老师的收入！当然以后我需要再跟老师练习说普通话，我的要求是我有基本功能听力，目标上课的时候对老师学生两位的时间更丰富更满足。:-)

    You know, ever since we lost instant tutoring, I haven't taken any more language lessons and my motivation has gone downhill :-(
