Imagine telling a friend about your routine: you study Chinese every day, or everyone in your class is nice. In Mandarin, both sentences rely on the same structure — 每...都 (měi...dōu), which means "every" with a required 都. This HSK 2 speaking lesson trains you to use it naturally in conversation, not just on paper.
The key insight is that 每 and 都 work as a team. You place 每 before a time word or noun, then add 都 before the verb — both words are required to express "every" correctly. The structure is: 每 + MW + Noun + 都 + Verb.
For example: 我每天都学中文 (wǒ měi tiān dōu xué zhōngwén) — "I study Chinese every day." Here, 每天 means "every day," and 都 sits right before the verb 学 (xué, to study). Another example from the lesson: 每个人都去 (měi gè rén dōu qù) — "Everyone goes," where 每个人 means "every person" and 都 precedes 去 (qù, to go).
This is a live conversation lesson: you talk out loud with AI teacher Mei Lin in real time, using your voice rather than typing. Mei Lin corrects your grammar and pronunciation in the flow of conversation and adapts to your level. The lesson targets this single grammar pattern and takes roughly 10 minutes.
You'll practice describing things you do every day or every week, and talk about what everyone does — like saying you study Chinese every day or that everyone in your class is nice. The first lesson can be tried free, so you can start talking right away.

It means "every" in Mandarin, but both parts are required: 每 goes before a time word or noun, and 都 goes before the verb. For example, 我每天都学中文 (wǒ měi tiān dōu xué zhōngwén) means "I study Chinese every day." You cannot drop 都 and still sound correct.
You'll talk out loud with Mei Lin about daily and weekly routines, using the 'Every' with Required 都 pattern. You'll say things like you study Chinese every day or that everyone in your class is nice, getting real-time corrections on grammar and pronunciation as you speak.
Each live conversation lesson targets one grammar pattern and takes roughly 10 minutes. This one focuses entirely on 每...都 (měi...dōu), so you get concentrated speaking practice without other patterns distracting you.
Yes — the first lesson can be tried free, and no credit card is required to start talking. You'll be speaking with Mei Lin by voice right away, practicing 'Every' with Required 都 in real conversation.
