关于 (guānyú) does double duty in Mandarin: it introduces a topic at the start of a sentence ("regarding X") and, when paired with 的, describes what a book or movie is about. This HSK 3 grammar pattern lets you set up what you want to talk about before making your point — a move that makes your spoken Chinese sound far more natural than jumping straight into a comment.
Place 关于 at the beginning, followed by your topic, then a comma, then your comment:
关于这次考试，我还有几个问题。(guānyú zhè cì kǎo shì, wǒ hái yǒu jǐ gè wèn tí.) — "Regarding this exam, I still have a few questions."
The structure is simple: 关于 + Topic，Clause. You can also pair 关于 with 的 before a noun to say what something is about — for example, describing a book or article's subject matter.
In this roughly 10-minute live conversation lesson, you talk out loud with AI teacher Mei Lin. She corrects your grammar and pronunciation in the flow of conversation and adapts to your level. You'll practice introducing topics with 关于 and describing what things are about — the kind of spoken practice that turns a grammar rule into something you can actually say in real time.
After this lesson, you can introduce a topic by saying "regarding X" and describe what a book, movie, or article is about. You can try the first lesson free.

关于 (guānyú) means "about" or "regarding" and works as a topic marker. You place it at the start of a sentence before the topic you want to introduce, then add your comment after a comma. For example, 关于这次考试，我还有几个问题 means "Regarding this exam, I still have a few questions."
You pair 关于 with 的 before a noun. This lets you say what a book, movie, or article is about. The lesson "Introducing Topics" covers both this usage and the sentence-initial topic pattern, so you practice both in conversation with Mei Lin.
Yes. This live conversation lesson focuses entirely on the 关于 (guānyú) — About / Regarding (Topic Marker) pattern. You talk out loud with AI teacher Mei Lin for about 10 minutes, and she corrects your grammar and pronunciation as you use 关于 to introduce topics in real time.
