I have been trying to learn Chinese for two years and couldn’t string a sentence together if my life depended on it. Then two months ago I joined mandarin blueprint, everything has changed. I’m progressing so fast it’s almost scary. I can actually talk now and it’s all thanks to them. Seriously worth every penny!

Having taken an introductory Mandarin class at the university level, as well as an 'intensive' summer class at that same university, I can say that I retained none of what I learned in that time
Mandarin Blueprint, however, actually works differently, and I have (I think) all of their online learning tools. Luke and Phil are very pragmatic, and are, perhaps more importantly, very good at keeping things engaging and fun.

Thank you for your review ! Happy our method is working for you
I have been able to grasp most of the characters, and has helped me keep the fire burning with daily reviews.
I'm even more excited to start reading sentences with ease and build comprehension.
Thankyou Luke and Phil.

We're happy to hear you're enjoying the course, Jayden! Keep up the great work. We're sure you'll accomplish your fluency goals!
I can't recommend Mandarin Blueprint enough to anyone looking to learn or improve their Mandarin.
It feels like I stumbled upon a "gold mine" of knowledge, that has given me direction, clarity, and truly proven and effective methods such as the "Hanzi Movie Method".
Luke and Phil are fantastic as well. They both emit such great and positive energy that trickles down well to the great community too. You can really feel everyone's passion and care towards this course and making Mandarin learning such an enjoyable and rewarding journey.

We're happy to hear about your experience with the course, Edward! We're sure you'll accomplish your fluency goals. Keep up the great work!
When I first started learning chinese I didn't know how I was going to learn all the characters, but then I stumbled upon the Mandarin Blueprint and was introduced to the Hanzi Movie Method. The method is a great way to use visualization to solidly learn many different words and characters, along with their meaning and pronunciation. I am currently a lite member but will probably become pro here soon.

We're happy to hear you're enjoying the course, Brad! Keep up the great work. We're sure you'll accomplish all your goals!
The combination of character-based instruction, the Traverse flashcards, and the verbal/aural content in the Kickstarter seems to provide a potentially durable foundation for learning all aspects of Mandarin Chinese. I especially like the ability to progress at my own pace, which is slow because I cannot devote very much time to this daily. But I have been consistent, not missing a day in many weeks.

We're happy to hear that you're enjoying the course, Peter! Congratulations on your consistency! That's one of the most important parts of the learning process. Keep up the great work!
For native English speakers, Mandarin is hard! This method takes on the challenge of leading you up that mountain in small, manageable steps. Stick with it and you will achieve your goals.

We're happy to hear you're enjoying the course, Anna! We're sure you'll accomplish your goals. Keep up the great work!
If you want to learn Mandarin. . . this is it! It's hard to find an actual well-structured course for language-learning that takes into account people's forgetfulness, psychology, and daily life!
Mandarin Blueprint addresses all that with its unique approach of memory palace for language-learning!
I took a few tiny breaks from learning (about a week and a half), and I still remembered the characters, the tones, pinyin, AND meaning!
START TODAY! Would it seem awkward at first? Yes! But is it well worth it? 100%! As a tip, if you're OK with hearing Mandarin, I suggest using additional sources of comprehensible input (I use Mandarin Peppa Pig, podcasts, and songs). Have a go, friends! You'll see what I mean! Cheers, and God bless! :D
Great! I finally found a method that really works! The logical organization of learning the characters, the effective tips, the real stories, no-zero-days, are just what I needed. It's a treasure map! I'm reading, understanding, and speaking Mandarin Chinese at a speed I didn't quite expect. The big surprise is I actually remember the tones and the meaning of the characters!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Sue! We're happy to hear you're enjoying the course, and we're sure you'll accomplish all your fluency goals. Keep up the great work!
Started 3weeks ago and love it! I actually think I can achieve fluency with this method. Of course I'm still at the beginning, but it all makes sense and they give you a lot of different material and a roadmap to follow.
Happy to have joined!

That’s amazing to hear 😊 It’s always great when things start to click early on and you feel like the method is actually working for you. We’re really happy to have you with us and excited to see how far you go from here.
Love this course! Phil and Luke are both well-spoken and professional.
The whole Hanzi Movies technique is really remarkable. I love it because it works multiple ways in that you're able to easily use one element to recall the other two (the 3 elements are Chinese Character, Pinyin pronunciation, and English meaning). This happens much faster and with much more permanence than I would have thought possible.
Thank you, Mandarin Blueprint team, for a great course!

Thank you for your kind words! Keep up the great work!
Mandarin Blueprint finally cracked the code for me
I had dabbled in Mandarin Chinese for a few years with very little to show for it before I came across Mandarin Blueprint. I speak English, Spanish, and French, but Mandarin was a whole other beast, and just felt overwhelming! My investment in Mandarin Blueprint, though, has been worth every penny. Luke and Phil "get" us Western learners and have devised a brilliant system. It is enjoyable, engaging, and makes sense to me. I am now reading and (even more amazing to me) writing Mandarin Chinese and my daily growth feels exponential. Especially if you are a "left brain" learner, I cannot recommend this program highly enough!
