Learn Chinese Through Podcast-Style Listening.
Speak1000 is built for learners who want a beginner Chinese podcast with transcript, useful everyday phrases, and a clear path from listening to speaking. Instead of memorizing isolated words, each episode unlocks a small high-frequency block you can recombine into real sentences.
10-Second Listening Challenge
Our podcasts are designed to teach usable, scenario-based Chinese. Try listening to these sample phrases related to this topic to see how native Chinese sounds in daily conversation:
你好！我是老师。
Nǐ hǎo! Wǒ shì lǎoshī.
Hello! I am a teacher.
你是学生吗？
Nǐ shì xuéshēng ma?
Are you a student?
是，我是学生。
Shì, wǒ shì xuéshēng.
Yes, I am a student.
Podcast First
Each lesson is designed as an audio-first episode, so beginners can build natural listening habits instead of only reading drills on a page.
Transcript + Meaning
Public lessons include bilingual support, so learners can follow the Chinese, check meaning quickly, and replay key lines without getting lost.
Speaking Payoff
The goal is not passive listening. Every episode is built around a reusable Chinese block that expands what you can actually say in daily situations.
