在此對中級者的定義是「若母語人士願意有耐心的聽你說等你想,你能完成完整的對話」。 名人開講和母語人士聊天的部分跟上述初學者一樣,用 Clubhouse 我認為不如用 Podcast or Tunein or TED ,在口說練習的部分則比初學者有更多的選擇。
中級者仍可以用使用「為初學者開設 xx 語」這類房間,我看過很多中級者進這種房間似乎也沒被討厭,可能母語老師覺得初級跟中級聊起來沒差太多 XD 除此之外,中級者可以參加類似圖三(Can I practice English with you)這種非母語人士之間的尬聊會,大部分的人都很友善而且會彼此容忍不完美的英文。最後,如果有你特別熟悉的主題,也有可以分享的東西的話,你可以直接挑戰用英文討論特地主題的房間。這邊用圖四來舉個例,如果你的日文大概是中級,但對海外生活這個主題異常熟悉也有很多經驗,讓母語人士覺得相聽也嘖嘖稱奇,可以試試看挑戰這種「主題是自己主場」的房間,如果牽涉到技術或是專業技術的話對你更有利了。
最後,對進階者最好的練習就是進母語人士的討論群,登台和大家一起討論,甚至晉升 Moderator ,這時候要求的就不只是語言能力,而且還需要對該議題的掌握程度。若一開始還沒把握的話,可以先從登台問問題開始練習。若對某個特定主題有興趣或研究,直接開房吸引母語人士加入也是很好的方法,例如我參加過一個非常喜歡關西腔日語的香港女生開的 (エセ)関西弁を話したいひとがいいひん 的房間,因為標題看起來真的是關西人主辦,吸引了不少關西人加入,關西人知道後很驚奇也很樂意跟大家分享關西腔,我們一群人就從11點聊到半夜兩點。
