Understand left and right
Follow 往左 / 往右 / 一直往前. Repeat the instruction back; point to front, behind and opposite.
Start with the guided teaching
A road name can be unfamiliar and still be useful if you can match it exactly to your destination.
Separate the name from its type: 建国 is the name in 建国路; 路 tells you it is a road. You do not need to translate the name’s poetry to locate the road. Pinyin lets you say it; written matching lets you show it.
Read street signs and match an address — complete guided explanation
Do the work in five passes
- Listen and pronounce — 25 min · shadow 6 phrases; compare a recording.
- Read and recognize — 25 min · complete the guided teaching, then read today’s words.
- Build and speak — 25 min · build a guided request; then make 10 variations.
- Solve a situation — 25 min · practice both sides, then hide the hints.
- Retrieve and review — 20–80 min · due review, quizzes, and a spoken recap.
Completion records effort; quiz results measure recognition. Neither proves conversational fluency. Use the interactive trainer for review scheduling and saved progress.
