Before joining Premium, my biggest struggle was not knowing how accurate my speaking really was. Studying on my own has many benefits, but without guidance or feedback, I always felt unsure about my pronunciation, tones, and overall accuracy.
"Not afraid to try anymore."Before joining the community I was learning words in Mandarin online. The big difference with the community is that you learn new words but you also use these words to build sentences — which is so useful in learning to speak the language.
"The confidence to speak the language."I especially appreciate the clarity and calmness of this community. Posts are answered, and requests are supported, mostly without delay. In the group meetings, you have a wonderful way of integrating everyone who is present.
"Clarity and calmness."Before joining I felt alone in learning and it was a struggle. The community has been wonderful. Being accountable has helped. Before joining the weeks drifted by — but now they're punctuated by seeing you and keeping me on track with my goals.
Speaking used to make me very nervous. I was afraid to use my voice because I worried about saying the wrong words, using the wrong tones, or mispronouncing things. Now I feel much more relaxed and willing to speak. Im not afraid to try anymore.
"Completely changed how I feel about speaking Mandarin."The speaking session is great — it provides an environment for a beginner like me to feel safe to speak Mandarin for the first time. The feedback I received after each lesson is so valuable, particularly with regards to tones, because sometimes the tone I have in mind doesnt come out as I intended.
Ive been a premium member for a few months now and since Ive joined Ive seen myself grow in confidence. Natasja is so patient and knowledgeable. It's the perfect blend of encouragement that I needed. Learning Mandarin before was a very lonely, hard experience. Natasja has transformed this for me. No regrets!
Ive really appreciated the supportive environment and the interactions with other learners. Practising in a space where people encourage each other makes learning Mandarin less intimidating. Feedback and guidance from Natasja have been invaluable for improving tones and pronunciation.
"Mistakes are okay because they help you improve."Wow thanks you're so kind. Im watching your videos and they are absolutely great.
Last night on Duolingo my speaking tasks went really well. Ive realised that even if I cant remember the meaning, my pronunciation is getting much better. Thats literally thanks to you and my premium membership. Im so glad I found you on TikTok.
Premium is perfect for students who truly want to improve and get serious about speaking Mandarin. It doesnt pressure you to go faster — instead it gives you clear, valuable feedback so you know youre making real progress. Having a safe, encouraging space to practise has completely changed how I feel about speaking Mandarin.
I am very proud of myself for creating such a healthy daily habit. Learning Chinese has changed so many things about my life and has led me to become a far better person. I am excited to keep going and to learn even more.
I just found your community through Instagram reels. I completed the introductory short learning video and it has been a huge help in my understanding of the basics. Thank you so much.
