Free Chinese Conversation Lessons Library

The catalog holds more than 1,000 structured Chinese conversation lessons across HSK 1 to 6. Each one names the grammar point or word set it drills before you begin, so you always know what the next ten minutes are buying you.

Four formats, four different jobs

The formats are not decorations on a single lesson type — they train genuinely different abilities, and picking the wrong one is the most common way to waste a session.

  • Grammar lessons isolate one pattern and have you produce it again and again until it stops requiring thought.
  • Vocabulary lessons introduce a themed set of words inside sentences, so each word arrives attached to a situation instead of a bare English gloss.
  • Roleplays drop you into a scene — a pharmacy, a landlord, a ticket counter — where you have to answer a follow-up question nobody scripted for you.
  • Debates ask you to defend a position out loud while Mei Lin takes the opposite side, which stretches your turns and forces connectives you would otherwise dodge.

What one lesson contains

A lesson runs about ten minutes and covers one thing. It opens by naming the pattern or word set, drills it in short exchanges, then puts it into a situation where you have to use it without being prompted — the point being to leave with one structure you can produce, rather than five you have met.

How a lesson runs

Lessons are spoken, not tapped. You hold a voice conversation with Mei Lin, and she corrects grammar and pronunciation inside the exchange rather than scoring you afterwards, which is the part a quiz app cannot reproduce.

Choosing a level

The levels follow the classic HSK 2.0 vocabulary bands the library is built on — the newer HSK 3.0 standard counts differently, and the HSK gap checker works in those: roughly 150 words at HSK 1, 300 at HSK 2, 600 at HSK 3, 1,200 at HSK 4, 2,500 at HSK 5, and upwards of 5,000 at HSK 6. Those are ceilings for the words a lesson may use, not targets you must hit first. Speaking ability usually sits a level below reading ability, so if you read HSK 4 comfortably, HSK 3 lessons will still give you plenty to repair.

Where to start, and what supports it

If you are new, begin at HSK 1 and move up when sentences stop costing effort; if you have studied before, open any level and drop down if it bites. Around the lessons, listening dialogues in listening practice train comprehension on days when speaking out loud is not possible, spaced-repetition flashcards keep the vocabulary from leaking away, and printable worksheets from the free tools cover handwriting. Your first conversation is free and needs no card.

Frequently asked questions

What's included in the SayMei lessons library?

The library contains over 1,000 structured conversation lessons across HSK 1–6, each targeting a specific grammar point. You'll also find listening dialogues, vocabulary lessons, roleplays, and debates — all designed to give you different ways to practice Mandarin skills at your level.

Which lesson format should I choose?

Grammar lessons when one structure keeps failing you. Vocabulary lessons when you can build sentences but run out of words. Roleplays when you handle rehearsed lines yet freeze at an unexpected question. Debates when you can converse but your turns stay short and simple.

Do I need to pay for my first conversation lesson?

No. Starting is free and your first conversation requires no credit card. You can open a lesson, talk with Mei Lin, and get real-time grammar and pronunciation corrections before deciding whether to continue.

What companion tools come with the lessons?

The library includes free printable worksheets for offline review, flashcards powered by FSRS spaced repetition to optimize your review schedule, and 175 HSK 1 study songs that help reinforce vocabulary through melody alongside the conversation lessons.
