Their lessons are well organized and keep my interest in check. My understanding is now above par and I feel confident that I can take my knowledge for a needed test drive very soon. 谢谢。新年快乐！
That’s amazing! So glad MB has kept you motivated and that your confidence is growing—really awesome progress, keep it going!
I’m going to be completely honest here … I started with the MB Lite, free version with the idea that if I could speak and read Chinese at even the most basic level by the time I finished the first three phases, I would buy the pro version. I felt that this was a considerable investment and I needed to be 100% convinced that I not only could do it but that I would stick with it. When I started,I had serious doubts about this format for learning Chinese. Not because it doesn’t work since many have learned it using this method and I am in no position to judge the effectiveness of the program over all. My doubts stemmed from my own lack of confidence that it would work for me personally. But … here I am reading Chinese sentences using the characters I have learned so far with understanding, without pinyin, and being able to pronounce the characters. I am also starting to be able to read other materials that have characters I recognize and get the meaning of the sentences even if I don’t know every character used in the sentence. I feel now like I can really do this and I plan upgrade to the paid-for MB Pro.
Hi Denise! We're happy to hear you're enjoying the course and that you're making a lot of progress. Thanks for sharing your review. Keep up the great work!
I’m most impressed by the structure (blueprint) of the course how it applies the 80/20 rule to get the best result for the effort applied; not only identifying the 350 must have words but also the best sequence of strokes and character learning necessary to learn those 350 words most efficiently. PS. I’ve been using Rocket Languages and Duolingo for years, have over 450 days continuous use on the latter yet Blueprint is teaching me, from day one, stuff I don’t know (mainly the strokes and characters and how to memorise better).
Thanks for sharing! So glad to hear that MB's structure is working for you and helping you learn the most important words and characters efficiently. Awesome that it’s teaching you stuff you didn’t pick up from other platforms . Keep up the great work
It works. I wasn't sure if I could keep up but I'm reading, pronouncing and writing dozens of Chinese characters after only 2 weeks. It teaches you to recognise and write easy characters that make up larger ones which means by the time you get to the characters that look complicated, you've already encountered their components hundreds of times before. I'm so glad I invested and look forward to my xue xi every day.
Happy that the course is working for you! Thank you for your kind words, and we can’t wait to see your progress continue.
This course is fantastic! I just learned 3,050 characters. Phil and Luke often claim that you can learn a character in just a minute. At first, it’s hard to believe, but I can assure you, it’s not an exaggeration. The more you learn, the faster it becomes. Many older reviews suggest that this course is overpriced and only effective for teaching characters, which is not true. The course has improved over time and now offers many additional resources that help you not only achieve solid pronunciation but also become fluent quickly. So, if you want to become fluent in Mandarin while also becoming literate, this is the right place for you.
Thanks for sharing! So glad to hear the course is working so well for you and that you’re seeing real progress with both characters and fluency. That’s exactly what we hope for—learning to read, write, and speak Mandarin in a way that actually sticks!
MB makes learning Chinese straightforward and rewarding. I am only on day 25 and confidently know 125 characters + 40ish words and am already reading and fully understanding basic sentences. The method includes multiple avenues for you to link back to the words and remember them. If you can't recall a word, you have props and people which help you remember a scene, which help you remember the word and character. This is the complete opposite of how I learned in the past, which was by brute force memorization. It starts off hard but as time goes on you really develop your visualization/memory palace skills and remembering words and their characters becomes very quick. It is actually insane to learn 12 new characters in a day (my current record), and get most/all of them correct (knowing the character, the meaning, and the tones) the first try while reviewing. I am almost finishing up with the free trial and will certainly be going pro.
Hey Will, that’s awesome progress in just 25 days! 🎉 So glad the method is clicking for you and helping with characters and sentences. Can’t wait to see you keep smashing it as you move into MB Pro!
Signed up for Mandarin Blueprint even though my wife is Chinese and should be able to help. 1/ Pro's - Easy to use, you follow their system, which they thoroughly explain, the how's, the why's, the traps, everything that the future holds for you in the course and you go through it, trusting that it will work. The course is taught with a lot of logic, they pick many common words/ characters/ and components with an eye to how useful they are in general Mandarin. When there is an oddball word used (Halberd) they clearly explain 'why' they would teach an obscure word early in the course. Stuff makes sense. There is a real sense of progress with lots of PDFs along the way to give you an alternative way to cement information into your daily life. Your Mandarin may be getting better in other methods, but sometimes a "sense of progress" is the motivation that determines whether you actually stick with it to fluency. Subscription models may be cheaper, and actually more viable long term, but a 'pay once and it's yours forever' model actually appealed to me the most. I do not want to pay for when I get really busy and don't have time for the course. I also travel some, and being online is problematic at times, so having bought it like a book, I can go back to it whenever, and it doesn't feel like I am wasting anything. (I can see the 'wasting' feeling also being motivation for some) I like these guys. They come across as 'nice' in the videos, very likeable, and this makes it much easier to watch all of the videos. I also appreciate that they bring in 'guest students' to describe some of the students' memory palace stories. I do wish they had a native female speaker to rotate in. Having a native speaker might give us a different accent or phrasing than two guys who learned English first, then Mandarin. My wife says Luuk and Phil's Mandarin is excellent, but when I was in China, there were lots of pronunciations I did not catch, because native Mandarin speakers don't always speak perfectly. So, female Native Mandarin speaker would be a nice add on. The platform itself is complicated. Way too complicated in my opinion. There is a Mandarin Blueprint Lite version which is free for many lessons. (great resource no matter where you wind up) and if you buy their Pro course, you still study on the Lite platform for a lot of videos. Imagine you buy a "premium" course, which is expensive, but you remain on the Lite free course for weeks? Add in that you also use flashcards, which were originally Anki, but transitioned to Traverse. Add in that there is a podcast, but most of us use Apple podcast or some other podcast server to listen to podcasts. Add in there is a "Discord type" channel called Skool (?) perhaps if you want to chat about the course in their community. But, if you click on "Community" on their webpage, you get a different page which asks you to figure out your seniority before you get redirected ? Then the flashcard system is difficult to navigate. In my Traverse (my settings may be bad, or I am terrible at Traverse) the relevant sections were at the bottom of 120 sections, which I had to constantly 'find', rather than being in chronological order based on how you would study the sections. Traverse is not intuitive to me, but that might be a 'me' issue. So, I listed more "Cons" than "Pros" but don't want to give y'all the wrong idea. This course has a lot of value for me. It has well conceived learning paths, lessons that are well thought out as to length and value to you as a student. They speak Mandarin extremely well, so listening to them is easy to understand and a great guideline as to how we should sound. And the production value is top notch. It looks professional. It feels professional. It sounds professional. For me, it was money well spent! My wife is complimenting me on my progress, her friends are commenting on how improved my pronunciations are, etc, etc etc. Although it is not inexpensive, I have no doubt that I will get my money's worth, and more importantly "Learn to speak Mandarin" .....
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re seeing real progress and enjoying the structured learning path and memory palace approach, it’s exactly what we hope our students experience. We appreciate your feedback on the platform and flashcards; we know that with multiple tools in play, it can take a little time to get used to everything, and we’re continuously working to make navigation as smooth and intuitive as possible. We also hear you on the value of diverse native voices and will keep this in mind for future updates. It means a lot to hear that your progress is noticed by your wife and her friends, and we’re so glad you feel your investment is worthwhile.
I'm grateful I found this along the way.
We're happy to hear you're enjoying the course, Sara! Keep up the great work!
Amazing method! Learned a ~100 characters in a little more than a month. The Hanzi movie method is a great learning tool allowing you to memorize tone / pronounciation and meaning of a character in one step. This visualization technique is really powerful as you can memorize all this information with only a few repetitions. Really looking forward for the next steps!!!
Congratulations Mark! 100 characters is a great achievement. Keep up the great work!
I’ve been studying Mandarin for years. My biggest struggle was understanding conversations with native speakers. All the listening materials I used before Mandarin Blueprint alternated between English and Mandarin. While I learned what I wanted to say, none of them helped me understand natives. Luke and Phil’s program and courses offered an improved way to improve my listening and understanding. Their Mandarin Listening Kick Starter includes immersion listening that’s Mandarin only. These have been amazing. In two months time I’m hearing and understanding significantly more when I hear native speakers conversing. The Pronunciation Mastery includes tips for the subtle tongue movements, which also helped improve my listening. They also emphasize learning to read characters. That is something I thought I would never do because I thought it way too complex and time consuming. My life is hectic with work and family. Luke & Phil proved me wrong. I now know over 100 basic characters and am able to read some simple sentences. This, too, has helped improve my understanding. I first heard about their program in 2020. But did not go all in until 2025. In 2020, I compared Mandarin Blueprint against other programs and thought the price was too steep. If I had understood how powerful the program is and how quickly I would progress, I would have gone in 100-percent back then. The money I invested into this program is worth the time savings. If you’re serious about learning Mandarin and want to do it efficiently, I recommend Mandarin Blueprint.
Thanks for sharing your experience, William! We're happy to hear that your listening and understanding skills have improved! We're sure you will accomplish your goals. Keep up the great work!
I signed up for Mandarin Blueprint excited to begin. Unfortunately, the onboarding experience was deeply flawed and frustrating. I was double-charged immediately upon sign-up. Their system did not prevent or flag this. I received no receipt or order confirmation showing the price paid, contrary to their stated policy. Customer service was unresponsive for a week. My initial request for help went unanswered, forcing me to send a follow-up email just to get a reply. The refund for the duplicate charge was eventually processed after I provided evidence. The explanations offered were internal issues: payment processor changes, emails going to spam, and policies being updated. While I appreciate the eventual resolution, it required significant time and effort on my part to correct their mistakes. The program itself may be good, but proceed with caution. Be aware that their purchase and support systems seem unstable, and you may need to be diligent in tracking your charges and following up on issues. I hope they improve their operational reliability for future customers.
Hi Aaron, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry that your onboarding experience was frustrating, and we completely understand how these issues could have caused stress. Regarding the duplicate charge, we previously shared our findings with you. We can confirm that this was not caused by our system. Our investigation, including input from our payment processor, showed that the two charges were manually submitted, and no other members have reported similar issues. On the topic of policies, as discussed previously, we are in the process of updating our terms. As many members know from our live calls and community discussions, we transitioned to a U.S.-based company and introduced new platforms last year. Updating our policies involves multiple legal reviews, which is why the changes are still in progress. Finally, regarding the delay in response, the initial message you sent happened during a holiday period and unfortunately went to spam, preventing it from reaching our support system. We’ve identified that, over the past days/ week, a small number of messages have experienced similar issues due to system automations. We’ve implemented solutions with our platform, are actively monitoring the system, and are double-checking spam folders to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Our team typically responds promptly, and we take this very seriously. We respect your feedback and appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We hope that moving forward you’ll have a smoother experience, and we’ll do our part to make sure of it.
I was very surprised and really impressed by their method of learning the characters but even more by the entire system the community the lessons . Everything is so well done and well explained , its clear they've put a lot of effort into every details and making the course and also you can feel that this is more than just a course to learn a language but true passion and desire to share their love for mandarin. And the community not only motivates to learn but there's is always support and people are welcoming and helpful .And all this is only the free part I am very impressed and this made me really want to try the pro even if I cant now I know I will because all their efforts and work really deserves it. I would recommend this to anyone truly interested in learning the Mandarin , but if you have a closed mindset to innovative ways of learing and want the "academic" way of trying to memories everything then I maybe not.
Thank you so much for this kind review. We’re honestly really happy to hear how much our method, the system, and the community stood out to you. It means a lot to know that the passion and effort behind the course came through, even in the free content. We’re especially glad you felt supported and welcomed by the community. That’s a huge part of what we care about. Thanks again for the recommendation, and whenever you’re ready to Go Pro, we’ll be right here for you.
This is the first method I've tried as an adult learner of Mandarin that makes learning all aspects of characters relatively reliable. It starts slow, but using episodic memory really works. As a speaker of only other non-tonal languages, tones in particular are hard to memorize, but this method makes them seem as integral as the rest of the character's pronunciation, meaning, and appearance. I think I can confidently say that I'm able to write and speak the characters I've learned with an accuracy or 90% or better.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re really glad to hear that the method is working so well for you. We really appreciate your feedback and can’t wait to see your continued progress!
The explanations are perfect for speakers of English trying to learn chinese in a fun, structured way
We're happy to hear that the course is working for you, Toby! Keep up the great work!
Mandarin Blueprint is a great course for learning Chinese language based on characters. Initially I was skeptical, but the proposed and taught method (learning Chinese characters using memory palace technique) works amazingly (both efficient and effective). After struggling quite some years (inconsistently) learning Chinese, this (MB Blueprint Pro) was the best "investment" decision in my Chinese learning career (both time/effort & money). Besides the main course (Mandarin Blueprint), the other courses (so far I tried Pronunciation Mastery, Mandarin Speaking Kickstarter and The Phrase Vault) Since Chinese is so different from all European Languages you still need however some patience to gain the expected results (fluency in Chinese including the capability to speak), but the teaching method and the course contents are really good. By the time of this review I am in level 37 of the Blueprint after around 50 days full time learning (~600 characters learned). You can also try out the Mandarin Blueprint Lite (~260 characters in total) for free and see, if the method also works for you...
We’re so happy to hear that MB Pro has been such a valuable part of your Chinese learning journey! It’s great to see your progress through the levels and hear that the method and additional courses are helping you build skills efficiently. Thanks for sharing your experience and recommendation!
Mandarin Blueprint’s Pronunciation Mastery course has been outstanding. It helped me so much with correcting multiple long-standing Pinyin and pronunciation errors, and it gave me real confidence and enthusiasm to tackle more advanced Chinese. The course also includes incredibly useful insights into grammar rules, dialect differences, and natural colloquial speech — all of which will help massively with integration and guanxi. A big thank you to Luke and Phil for the exceptional teaching and clear instruction. Highly recommended!!!
We’re thrilled to hear that Pronunciation Mastery has helped you gain confidence and tackle those tricky Pinyin and pronunciation challenges! Thanks so much for sharing your experience and recommendation!
This method really does work and this program is super efficient and you can learn Mandarin Chinese as fast as whatever pace you set. From someone with no prior experience or background knowledge of Chinese or any Asian language, I turned into a completely different person, not just from a linguistic perspective, but also of a lifestyle and mindset. This course changed me, I highly recommend anyone wanting to learn Chinese to sign up for this free course. (Free for the first two phases lvl 1-12 + lvl 13 where I was able to read Chinese characters in 4 weeks!) There is no commitment with your money, only your dedication.
We’re so happy to hear how much Mandarin Blueprint has impacted your learning and your mindset, Joseph! It’s amazing to see your progress in just a few weeks, and we love knowing our method is helping learners transform their skills and confidence. Thanks so much for sharing!
The Hanzi movie method is a great way to learn Chinese characters in the language. It does take time to get used to it, but once you get it down, it’s great. I wish I knew this when I first learnedEnglish in my early teens. You can learn anything with the Hanzi Movie Method, you just have to adjust it to fit the parameter of your situation and utilize the appropriate props.
We’re so glad to hear that the Hanzi Movie Method is working well for you! It’s true—it takes a little time to get used to, but once you do, it really makes learning characters easier and more fun. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I have used Apps to learn Mandarin, took courses on Udemy and Coursera but nothing comes close to the speed and effectiveness that Mandarin Blueprint teaches.
We’re thrilled to hear that Mandarin Blueprint has made such a difference for you! It’s great to know our method is helping you learn faster and more effectively. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Demystifies Chinese pronunciation and makes it very easy!!!
Thank you :)
