你觉得每周一起学习一次怎么样?

What do you think about studying together once a week?

02

我觉得这个主意不错,因为我们可以互相提问。

I think it's a good idea because we can ask each other questions.

03

但是,如果水平不同,会不会很难?

But won't it be difficult if our levels are different?

04

你说得有道理。不如分成小组练习吧。

That's a fair point. How about practicing in small groups?

05

不错。这样每个人都有时间说话。

That sounds good. Then everyone would have time to speak.

06

我们下周试一试,再聊聊效果怎么样。

Let's try it next week and talk about how it went.

Conversation practice

Listen, then hide your lines and answer aloud. Read the meaning only when needed. Try the changed situation before revealing a model response. These speaking tasks are self-practice, not automatically graded.

Change the situation

Weekly meetings are difficult for you. Explain that and suggest twice a month.

One possible response

我很难每周都来。每月两次怎么样?

Meeting every week is difficult for me. How about twice a month?

Did you include all the changed details? Now switch roles and ask one follow-up question of your own.

我觉得这个主意不错,因为我们可以互相提问。
