Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers deeply appreciate the exceptionally well-structured lessons and find the innovative learning methods engaging, highly intuitive, and remarkably effective for mastering vocabulary and characters quickly. People frequently mention that the extremely supportive community and practical daily tools make the entire language learning journey truly enjoyable and deeply motivating.
However, some customers also noted that imagining scenes and choosing sets for the memorization technique could initially feel challenging and required a significant amount of time at the beginning. A few learners additionally mentioned finding certain visual aspects tricky when trying to picture specific tones and distinct scenes clearly.
This is a very well-thought-out, enjoyable course.
The methods they have devised work really well for remembering vocabulary and characters. I'm surprised to find that I am able to read, write, and speak simple sentences that my Chinese colleagues are delighted by.
* Also, the pronunciation mastery course is well worth it! I've been complimented on my pronunciation by strangers while visiting in China. It's very encouraging!

Glad you think so! We appreciate you sharing your experience
Learning Chinese is like receiving a 10,000 piece Lego set without instructions. You will try to piece it together but give up in frustration.
The MB course is like having the detailed instruction booklet that takes you step by step to build that Lego set from the bottom up with foundation and then also gives you verbal structure from top down. You never flounder with what shall I do next, it's actually really fun too and a wee bit addictive. These guys have put many thousands of hours preparing this and it shows, it is well polished and professional.

Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re really glad the method is helping you to make the learning process clearer and more enjoyable for you.
As a polyglot I would like to congratulate this learning method! It makes learning fun and most importantly long-lasting.
If you are planing to start your journey in Chinese do not miss this great opportunity. You can even build a strong foundations (basic knowledge) in the language for free! There is nothing to lose!
Mandarin Blueprint really works! Reading sentences without pīnyīn!
I am now two month into the Mandarin Blueprint course and additional material like "Pronunciation Mastery" and "The Mandarin Speaking and Listening Kickstarter". All the components are very well thought through. By now I know 124 chinese characters so well that I can read sentences without needing the help of pīnyīn. I even remember all the tones and can write them. I didn't expect to make such amazing progress in such a short amount of time. And best of all: I am far from being bored at all! Everyday I learn new things and get further and further into knowing the chinese language. I'm looking forward to reading stories and graded readers in chinese soon. And not to forget the amazing team and community which are so kind and supporting all the time. I really have a good time studying with my fellow learners and looking forward to years to come. Thank you Mandarin Blueprint for your amazing work! Keep it up! All the best, Marko.

Great methodology, and motivation incentives on point. I truly believe I’ll learn mandarin with their help, which I thought was nearly impossible before joining MB

We're happy to hear you're enjoying the course, Mateus! We're sure you'll accomplish your fluency goals!
This is by far the easiest way to learn Chinese. Yes, not only did I learn characters easily, it also massively improved my Mandarin a lot. Easy, methodical and motivating.
Finding Mandarin blueprint is the best thing that happened to my mandarin learning journey.
Thank you very much.
You guys are the best.

We're happy to hear you're enjoying the course, Telo! We're sure you'll keep making progress and achieve all your fluency goals. Keep up the great work!
After completing the first 45characters in 9 days, the method seems very effective. If I kept this pace for a year I'd be at 1,825 characters, more than halfway to what's required for fluency, but I seems I'm getting faster at it. My only critique so far would be that the subtitle for level 8 is sort of... off-puttingly fatphobic. I get that it's word play on the material, it just kind of makes me cringe and I wonder if it might interrupt learners struggling with eating disorders for example

Mandarin Blueprint ★★★★★ The Best Chinese Learning System I’ve Ever Used
Mandarin Blueprint has completely transformed the way I learn Chinese. Before this course, characters felt overwhelming and random. Now they feel structured, logical, and actually enjoyable to study.
The character-building method is brilliant. Breaking characters into components and turning them into vivid memory stories makes retention incredibly strong. I remember characters faster and forget them far less often.
The tone and pronunciation training is also outstanding. It builds real confidence from the start instead of leaving tones as an afterthought.
This program requires consistency, but if you put in the work, the results are amazing. For anyone serious about mastering Chinese properly — this is absolutely worth it.
Highly recommended!

Really different, unique, but effective method compared all Other method that I had saw in learning Chinese. I am really grateful for Phil and Luke generousity for letting me and thousands-Chinese-enthusiast experience their first-13th-MandarinBlueprint-level for free. It really works, friend if you’re wondering. And not only the method but they built the community so we as fellow learners can encourage one another.

We're happy to hear that you're enjoying the course, Karol! We're sure you'll accomplish your fluency goals. Keep up the great work!
I'll be honest. I don't want to talk bad about the other sources I used to start learning Chinese, but when I joined up with MB Pro, I had an 820 day streak of Duolingo, accompanied by many other sources and classes. In the 43 days I have been doing the MB curriculum, I have learned more, remembered more, used more, and spoken more Chinese than I was able to before. Their methods are great. My goal is to speak fluently in 2 years and go to China and I know that is possible and will happen doing what Luke and Phil have created. There is nothing like their courses out there and I am glad I found them. Roy S.

Congratulations Max! We're happy to hear you're making progress and we're sure you'll accomplish your fluency goals. Keep up the great work!
I chose Mandarin Blueprint (MB) because I wanted a comprehensive course that would take me from knowing absolutely nothing about Chinese to being able to read, write, and speak well. I've now been using the MB courses for an hour a day for seven months, and I'm impressed with my progress. I just finished the Foundation course (lessons 1 - 36), and I know 600 characters and about 1,000 words made up of those characters without relying on pinyin. That includes knowing how to recognize the characters, how to write them from memory, and their pronunciation (including initials, finals, and tones). I've also completed MB's Pronunciation Mastery course and the Speaking and Listening Kickstarter. I can read easy materials like the example sentences included in the MB course, as well as graded readers from other companies. While I can read aloud quite well, my listening and extemporaneous speaking skills are lagging behind, so I'll need to find some outside resources to practice having spontaneous conversations. But even so, MB has been more than worth the money for the wealth of resources they provide and the smart learning methods they teach. MB has taken me from zero to the point where I can genuinely begin to use the language, and I can see the path the rest of the way up the mountain to fluency. MB includes enough further material (going up to 3,050 characters, way past HSK 6, and many thousands of additional sentences) that I could keep studying at my current pace for another two and a half years before running out. And because MB's learning methods are fun, even after seven months of daily study, I'm not burned out and am excited to keep climbing this mountain. I strongly recommend Mandarin Blueprint and can say that it has been well worth the cost for me.

It's so much more than the usual language software. It's not just about learning Chinese but it's about learning how to learn Chinese. It leaves me with a sense of continuous progress ahead and not about counting words behind.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that The Blueprint is helping you make continuous progress and enjoy the journey of learning Chinese.
I've already left a review for the main course (excellent!), so this review is more about the Pronunciation Mastery course. I got to level 21 in the main course and then started Pronunciation Mastery. I'm so glad I did! Their breakdown and explanation of how to pronounce each sound is so thorough, including vocalization, tongue and lip positions, that I can tell my pronunciation has improved by leaps and bounds. I was able to correct some mistakes and understand things that were confusing me. Plus, it includes simple vocabulary and grammar lessons as will as helpful tips and resources on studying Chinese and language-learning generally. Highly recommend this as an add-on to the main course!

Thank you! PM is definitely one of the best courses we offer, and we’re so glad to hear that you’re finding it helpful and valuable. Keep up the great work
I spent some time researching how to start learning Chinese from absolute zero, even consulting multiple sources (including AI) to compare methods. Mandarin Blueprint kept coming up again and again. I finally jumped in — and it’s honestly surpassed the hype. The approach is clever, intuitive, and weirdly addictive. For the first time, learning characters actually feels fun and doable. I would give 6 stars if i could.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and your kind words. We are glad you think so :) Keep up the great work in the course
The Mandarin Blueprint course is really valuable to me as I noticed a change in understanding and speaking after just 3 weeks. The Hanzi movie method (one part of the course) is a real good tool to remember the chinese characters which you will need as they are the building blocks of the language. You are taken from the ground up, get things thoroughly explained and are understanding every step. In the beginning you'll get a pronunciation course which helps develop your speaking a lot. You will learn understanding, reading, speaking and writing mandarin chinese in a well rounded course which will get you to fluency. Another part of the course is the habit building which leads to great motivation to stick to the learning. The community which is included in this course is very kind and helpful. I think we are all learners which are working towards a common goal and helping each other out. The team is amazing, very responsive and as helpful as you can ever wish for. So I am looking forward to mastering chinese one little step after the other and all making sense and combining into large strides. I would take this course again because it really works.
Mandarin Blueprint 回复2026-02-13
Wow, thank you so much for this! I love hearing how the Hanzi movie method and the habit-building parts are helping, and it’s awesome that the community and team have been so supportive for you. Really happy to hear it’s clicking and making sense step by step—can’t wait to see you keep making those big strides in Mandarin!
Since I started my chinese language journey, the most difficult part was writing and understanding characters and how does characters combine to make difficult ones... i saw chinese character and my mind would go 'what the hell is this?'
But now... it feels so wonderful to actually able to read some characters and understand the meaning... this course is a must recommendation for anyone learning chinese.
Very easy to understand and helpful videos.
You people are doing a best job.
Wishing you a very good luck.

Happy the course has been working for you! Thank you for your kind words!
I have tried a few apps and course materials to learn Mandarin, however I finally realized I was making little progress.
I follow several sites on YouTube, and saw Luke one day, just as my one year HelloChinese app renewal was due. I liked what he had to say, and it was clear their program was solid, so I began the Mandarin Blueprint Lite for 30 days.
After the Lite program, I immediately subscribed to the Pro program. I'm so glad I did, it's enjoyable, ample resources, great team. I just passed the 100 day mark, and I feel that I am really beginning to make progress now.
Very Pleased with the Program.
