The system works!!!
The system works. Luke & Phil could not be more supportive. I speak some conversational Cantonese, but see how even if one had zero background, the Mandarin Blueprint is the most effective, efficient, fun and rewarding way to become proficient. HIGHLY recommend. Just follow the videos, and I supplemented with some of the speaking phrases. Traverse is AMAZING. If you're committed at the outset to "get going" I found after Phase 1 to be "in the groove." Look forward to what's ahead. (I did the "pro" version - well worth it.)
