去 (qù) is one of the most common verbs in Mandarin, meaning "to go." In this HSK 2 speaking lesson, you'll learn a more specific use: placing 去 after another verb to show that the action moves away from where you are.
The key insight is simple: add 去 after a verb like 回 (huí, to return), 出 (chū, to exit), or 进 (jìn, to enter) to indicate the action moves away from the speaker. So 回去 means "go back," 出去 means "go out," and 进去 means "go in, away from you."
The example sentence you'll practice is:
你先回去吧。(nǐ xiān huíqù ba) — "You go back first."
This is a natural way to tell someone to go ahead and leave. You're not just saying "return" — you're specifying the movement goes away from where you stand.
In this roughly 10-minute live conversation lesson, you talk out loud with AI teacher Mei Lin in real time — voice, not typing. She corrects your grammar and pronunciation in the flow of conversation and adapts to your level. You'll practice telling someone to go ahead and leave, describing someone going out or heading home, and talking about movement away from where you are — all using the 去 pattern with real spoken responses rather than memorized drills.
The lesson focuses on one grammar pattern so you build confidence without feeling overwhelmed. You can try your first lesson free.

去 (qù) means "to go" on its own, but in this lesson you learn a more specific use: adding 去 after verbs like 回, 出, or 进 to show the action moves away from where you are. For example, 回去 means "go back" and 出去 means "go out."
The "Going Away" lesson takes roughly 10 minutes. It targets the single grammar pattern of adding 去 after a verb to express movement away from the speaker, so you can focus on one skill at a time without feeling overwhelmed by extra material.
