[quote=CHINYCHEN,435439]Hey everyone - talking to other foreigners struggling with this language, it seems many of us (myself definitely included) run into a common problem - pretty good reading/listening/writing - but embarrassingly bad speaking. I'd put most of my skills around upper intermediate, with speaking lagging far behind. I'm studying a lot - but most texts seem to be basically: memorize vocab, make a sentence, read text, answer a few questions, do grammar exercises. Repeat. So, has anyone found good techniques or exercises that can be used to improve speaking? Maybe a good textbook that doesn't focus on tons of vocab, but on classroom exercises, questions to spur discussion, etc. Maybe mock interviews? Simple stories to retell in Chinese? [/quote]
