Maybe you can handle everyday exchanges — ordering food, asking directions, making small talk — but longer discussions with native speakers still leave you searching for words. HSK 4 Chinese lessons on SayMei give you structured conversation practice at the intermediate level, targeting the grammar and vocabulary that bridge basic fluency and more confident expression. Each conversation lesson focuses on a specific grammar point, so you build accuracy alongside speaking speed.
At this level, lessons move beyond survival Mandarin into more nuanced expression — expressing opinions, describing cause and effect, and handling compound sentences. The SayMei library covers HSK 1 through 6 with over 1,000 structured conversation lessons, and the HSK 4 set targets the grammar points an intermediate learner needs to sound natural rather than halting. You can browse the full catalog of SayMei conversation lessons to see what's available at this level.
You practice by talking out loud with AI teacher Mei Lin in real time. She corrects your grammar and pronunciation mid-conversation, so you fix mistakes as they happen instead of reviewing them later. Beyond conversation lessons, the library also includes listening dialogues, vocabulary lessons, roleplays, and debates — each a separate format for different skills. Free companion tools include printable worksheets, flashcards with FSRS spaced repetition, and 175 HSK 1 study songs. You can also use the free printable Chinese worksheet generator to reinforce what you practice.
Starting is free, and your first conversation requires no credit card. Pick an HSK 4 grammar point that matches what you're studying, start talking, and let Mei Lin guide you through it.
