3 quick things you get
Audio comes first, so tones, pinyin, and similar-sounding words stay distinct instead of blurring together.
Repeated exposure to common characters and word chunks makes recognition faster than memorising isolated shapes.
Recognition first, then reverse cards for speaking – so the right phrase shows up when you need it.
The course focuses on the small bottlenecks that make daily Mandarin tricky, then trains them with short, repeatable reps.
If you learn only meaning and skip sound, everything blurs together. Tones get trained from day one in short daily sessions.
You don’t sound it out letter-by-letter. You need fast recognition of common characters and word chunks.
You don’t just learn “three coffee”. You learn 三杯咖啡 (three cups of coffee) – the measure word is part of the phrase.
Connectors like 可以吗, 一下, 有点, 太…了 show up constantly. They stick best through repetition in context.
Each card gives you audio, translation, and examples, so you connect Mandarin as it’s actually spoken.
You get a daily queue. The system brings back what you’re about to forget – no planning, no spreadsheets.
Start with recognition (Chinese → your language). Then switch to recall (your language → Chinese) so vocabulary becomes usable.
Order food, ask for directions, pay, solve small problems – fast.
Build high-frequency words, collocations, and exam-ready paraphrases – then make them active via recall.
Common workplace phrases, polite requests, and meeting language (useful, not fancy).
Get comfortable with the vocabulary you see in apps, menus, signs, and day-to-day chats.
No heroics. Just daily reps.
Start small, practise daily, and let spaced repetition do the heavy lifting. Start free.
