Sometimes in Mandarin you need to normalize an outcome — to say that given the situation, a certain result was bound to happen. The adverb 不免 (bùmiǎn) does exactly that, and this live conversation lesson trains you to use it naturally in speech.
Place 不免 before a verb to say that a result is unavoidable given the situation — like saying "it is only natural that" or "you cannot help but." The structure is simple: Subject + 不免 + (会) + Result.
Here is the key sentence you will practice:
刚到一个新环境，不免会有些不适应 (gāng dào yí gè xīn huán jìng, bù miǎn huì yǒu xiē bú shì yìng) — "When you first arrive in a new environment, it is only natural to feel a bit out of place."
You can also reassure a friend with a similar idea: 第一次做，不免会出错 (dì yī cì zuò, bùmiǎn huì chūcuò) — "Doing it for the first time, mistakes are inevitable."
This is a voice-based conversation, not a typing exercise. You talk out loud with AI teacher Mei Lin, who corrects your grammar and pronunciation in real time and adapts to your level. The lesson focuses on this one grammar pattern and takes roughly 10 minutes. After completing it, you will be able to explain that something is unavoidable or naturally expected — like reassuring a friend that it is normal to make mistakes in a new situation.

不免 (bùmiǎn) means "inevitably" or "unavoidably." You place it before a verb to say that a result is unavoidable given the circumstances — like saying "it is only natural that." For example, 刚到一个新环境，不免会有些不适应 means "When you first arrive in a new environment, it is only natural to feel a bit out of place."
不免 (bùmiǎn) frames a result as naturally expected given the situation, carrying a reassuring tone rather than a dramatic one. It is ideal for Accepting the Inevitable in conversation, such as telling a friend that mistakes are only natural when trying something new. The structure is Subject + 不免 + (会) + Result.
