For intermediate and advanced students who are tired of sounding correct but robotic. Real conversation, real topics, real Chinese — in a small group or one-to-one.
Fluency Circle isn't about covering material. It's about actually using Chinese — every session, in real situations, on real topics.
Each week we explore a topic together. You get vocabulary before the session. You come ready to talk. Your teacher corrects in real time and helps you express things more naturally — not just correctly.
The goal isn't to pass an exam. It's to sound like a real person having a real conversation in Chinese.
Fluency Circle includes the full Mandarin Club. Take a look at the materials you'll use to prepare for your live conversations.
Fluency Circle includes everything in Moonlight Mandarin Club, plus a weekly live speaking lesson with a teacher.
Learn useful vocabulary with Club audio lessons, grammar, podcasts and weekly activities.
Join a weekly small-group or private lesson and put the language to work in real discussions.
Receive corrections and guidance so you can express yourself more naturally.
Choose the Club for flexible independent learning. Choose Fluency Circle if you also want regular live speaking practice.

Want to explore our teaching style first? Try the Mandarin Club → The Club trial does not include live lessons.
No free trial for live lessons. Your paid subscription starts when you sign up.
You and one other student at a similar level. More affordable, still highly personalised — and the dynamic of practising with a peer adds something a solo lesson can't.
Just you and your teacher. Every session is entirely focused on you — your gaps, your goals, your Chinese. The fastest way to improve if you can commit to it.

"I became more relaxed when I speak. I feel more fluent, more confident — even though my spoken Chinese is still far from perfect. All I need to do is show up."
"The lessons are packed with information and only 30 minutes a day. It's a great way to learn using real-life situations. Kira and the team are awesome."
"Learning Chinese is not easy. Moonlight Mandarin uniquely combines learning from a native speaker AND someone who understands the difficulties of the journey."
