Mandarin Blueprint is Awesome
I started with the pronunciation mastery course which is just awesome. After using it, my Chinese went from not being understood to being recognised even by AI. I’m now well into the Blueprint. It’s a fun, easy way to remember characters (both meaning and pronunciation), and you quickly get to read full sentences without pinyin. The Pro student community adds to the encouragement and Phil & Luke the founders of Mandarin Blueprint have additional videos and live conversations with members which offer useful, well-researched and informal resources, tips, and coaching. Most importantly you get a method to improve your Chinese consistently toward fluency. It starts a bit slow in my opinion, but quickly picks up, and retention is three times better than anything else I had tried before. I thoroughly recommend Mandarin Blueprint.
