Here's How Anyone Can Go From Feeling Frustrated, Overwhelmed, And Stuck To Actually Reading, Understanding, And Speaking Chinese Once And For All For FREE, In 30 Days Or Less…

Join 30,000+ Learners Inside A Course & Community That Gives You Time-Tested Techniques Used By Polyglots, Clear Structure, And Breakthrough Understanding — Even If You Think You Don’t Have “Language Genes” Or Have Tried And Failed Before…

From Luke Neale (Mandarin Blueprint Co-Founder and Co-CEO)

The Real Reason You’re Not Making Progress in Chinese...

You want to learn fluent Mandarin — maybe for travel, work, connection, or just the challenge.

But the more time you spend, the more overwhelming it feels.

Classes and tutors seem like a waste of money

Textbooks feel outdated and lifeless

Apps are addictive, but don’t actually teach you anything that sticks…

Your tutor explains a grammar rule to you, and leaves you even more confused than you were before…

You memorize 20 words — and forget 15 of them the next day.

All this leaves you wondering:

  • Is this actually going to make me fluent?
  • Why do I keep forgetting everything?
  • What if I’m just not good at languages?
  • Is it just me, or is Chinese fluency just impossible without moving to China and learning full time for years?

After over a decade learning Chinese and personally coaching hundreds of learners and thousands more through our course and community, here’s something I’ve learned that you need to know:

You’re not lazy, and you’re not bad at languages…

You’ve just never been given an approach that actually works.

Most Mandarin programs dump disconnected information on you. They expect you to memorize without truly learning, speak without real understanding, and stay motivated without any proof it’s working…

No wonder it feels like you’re getting nowhere!

But with the right system, fluency doesn’t just become possible, it becomes inevitable

How Mandarin Blueprint Turns Confusion Into Confidence

We built a complete learning system that takes you from overwhelmed to confident, and allows you to make visible progress every time you login.

Here’s how we do it…

Every approach we’ve seen lacks at least one of the three things you must have to reach fluency. 

With Mandarin Blueprint, you get all of them:

1. Structure That Makes Sense

Great structure is really just great strategy – Learning the right things at the right time. Most programs teach you low frequency vocabulary, grammar rules, and even advanced idioms before you’re confident with the basics. 

We do the opposite. Here’s how we structure our program so you never feel lost, overwhelmed, or like you’re wasting time:

  • Start with the most useful characters and words based on real-world frequency.
  • Learn words only after mastering the characters that form them.
  • Absorb grammar naturally by seeing every new word in comprehensible full-sentence context.
  • Follow a structured learning path where every lesson builds on the last.

2. Methodology That Makes It Stick

Knowing what to learn isn’t enough. You also need to know how to learn (and remember it) quickly and easily. We solve this by using ground-breaking memory techniques that turn Mandarin into something your brain wants to remember:

  • The Hanzi Movie Method: Turn abstract characters into vivid, unforgettable “mental movies” and master them in seconds (including how to read, write and pronounce them with the correct tone).
  • Living Links: Connect new words to your existing knowledge using mnemonic association, so you can learn and recall them easily (and rapidly).
  • Spaced Repetition Software: Review only what you’re about to forget, saving you tons of time and stress.
  • Mass Sentence Exposure: Read and listen to Chinese sentences to acquire grammar naturally, the same way you did with your native language.
  • Shadowing & Retrieval Practice: Perform targeted practice with Chinese sentences  to activate passive vocabulary, level up your pronunciation, and get fluent fast.

3. Consistency Without Burnout

Even with the best structure and methodology, you will not succeed if you don’t stick with it. That’s why you get these incredible benefits when you sign up for free, so you are excited to show up every day (without pressure or burnout):

  • Lifetime access so you can learn on your schedule.
  • Weekly live coaching calls with the founders to ask questions, get feedback, and celebrate wins
  • Ultra-engaged private community of thousands of committed learners
  • Direct support from real people, not chatbots

The B.G.A.I. System: Your Roadmap to Fluency

All of this is brought together by our signature learning framework — the B.G.A.I. System. A 4-part learning journey that delivers structure, methodology, and consistency in one seamless experience.

Build Comprehension
Master the foundation (high-frequency characters and vocabulary) using powerful memory techniques.

Get Comprehensible Input
Absorb the language naturally with full-sentence input, stories, and real-world content built from characters and words you already know.

Activate Passive Vocabulary
Start speaking and understanding clearly through targeted shadowing, listening, and output training.

Integrate Chinese Into Your Life
Make Chinese part of your daily life — with accountability, live coaching, and a supportive community to keep you consistent.

The best part? You don’t have to figure out how to do any of this on your own.

After over a decade of trial and error, we created a curriculum and community that seamlessly delivers the B.G.A.I. system, step-by-step.

Mandarin Blueprint is not “just another course”…

Frequently Asked Questions
(and Honest Answers)

When you start for free, you get lifetime access to the first 20 levels of The Blueprint. That includes hundreds of lessons, flashcards, audio files, and access to our free community. It’s not a trial and it doesn’t expire.

When you’re ready to go further, we have a full guided program called Fluency Lab that unlocks the entire curriculum (88 levels, 3,050 characters, 11,800 words), weekly speaking sessions with native tutors, a personal Fluency Roadmap, and coaching from our expert team. Start with the free version, make some real progress, and you’ll know if and when it makes sense to take the next step. No progress is ever lost.

We’re not claiming you’ll become fluent overnight or without effort – no system can promise that. What we do offer is a proven curriculum, powerful memory techniques, and expert coaching that give you the tools to succeed.

You’ll build a rock-solid foundation and start making progress faster than you ever have – and yes, many learners eventually achieve fluency using this system, but it depends on your time, effort, and consistency.

Fluency is simply being able to use at least a couple thousand words in the language, and that’s not complicated at all (at least not anymore!). Follow the process we’ve laid out, and you’ll get there if you show up consistently.

We’ve helped many thousands of people learn Chinese faster, and have massive breakthroughs in the language. We have just under 1,000 five-star reviews across Trustpilot, Google, and Facebook, and countless learner success stories and weekly breakthroughs inside the free and pro communities.

You’ll even hear directly from learners in our video testimonials, but if you’re still skeptical? Great — try it for free and judge for yourself!

Most apps teach random vocab and grammar with no clear path. Mandarin Blueprint gives you three things all other programs we’ve seen seem to lack:
  1. Structure that makes sense: A clear and logical strategy laying out exactly what to learn and when (from characters, to words, to sentences and even entire articles and stories) all the way to advanced literacy and fluency.
  2. Methodology that makes it stick: Scientifically backed techniques like memory palaces and comprehensible input) and finally…
  3. Consistency (daily momentum with live support and community): Mandarin Blueprint is not just information – it’s a full coaching system designed to get you results.

Some learners are reading full Chinese sentences — without pinyin or English — within just 7–14 days. A few have done it in under 48 hours.

From there, things accelerate.

At level 37 you’ll reach over 1,000 words and 600 characters, covering 80% of the language by frequency. That’s when reading and listening in Chinese suddenly becomes easier, faster, and way more fun — because now, your brain is recognizing and acquiring new words almost automatically.

As you move through the remaining 50 or so levels, you’ll continue to expand your comprehension — and by consuming real native content (podcasts, books, TV shows) alongside our training, you’ll see exponential gains in fluency.

And if you make smart use of the tools we provide — flashcards, audio, sentence practice — your speaking ability will develop in parallel, with excellent pronunciation and increasing confidence.

In short, if you can invest an hour or two a day you’ll get:
✔️ Early wins in days
✔️ Solid literacy within 30 days
✔️ 80% comprehension in a few months
✔️ Long-term fluency, step by step — if you stick with it

The more consistent you are, the faster it compounds — and we’ve built this system to make that consistency as easy and rewarding as possible.

You’ll get free, lifetime access to the first 900+ lessons of the curriculum, our community, powerful study tools, and a TON of free resources to build your foundation in the language. There’s no credit card required and it never expires.

The only “catch” is that once you experience the free version, you might want to upgrade to our full program (Fluency Lab) – but that’s completely up to you. We’d rather you start for free, see real results, and make that decision yourself.

This is no problem at all. You start from the beginning of the course, and do the first few lessons, just so you get the hang of things and then you can start skipping lessons for any characters and words that you already know well. And because the course goes all the way to 3,050 characters and just under 12,000 words, you’ll very quickly get to characters and words you don’t know, and you can just keep going from there.

Both. We build your foundation through characters, words, and sentences so that when you do speak, you’re not guessing – you actually understand what you’re saying. From there we show you how to use shadowing, sentence practice, and speaking drills so the words you’ve learned come out naturally in conversation. And for learners who want structured speaking practice, Fluency Lab (our paid membership) includes weekly live sessions with native tutors so you’re using the language in real conversations from early on, plus daily access to expert coaches.

No — you keep everything. Your progress, materials, and access to the free community stay with you for life.

The next step is Fluency Lab – our guided coaching and speaking program. You get the full Blueprint curriculum (88 levels, 3,050 characters, 11,800 words), weekly live speaking sessions with native tutors, a personal Fluency Roadmap based on your level and schedule, daily coaching from our team, and a clear daily study plan so you always know exactly what to do. You don’t lose any progress from the free version – everything carries over. When the time feels right, just talk to our team and they’ll help you figure out if it’s a good fit.

We recommend a “no zero days” approach — even just 5–10 minutes is better than nothing. Consistency matters more than intensity.

That said, we recommend a minimum of 30 minutes, and 1-3 hours is ideal. Start small and invest more time as you get addicted to the course and build your identity as a Chinese learner.

You’re never alone. You’re going to get:

  • Live weekly coaching with the founders
  • Support from real human coaches via email and community (responses within 24 hours, 7 days a week. Usually just a few hours)
  • Help from thousands of learners in our community and responses to any comments you make on the course itself.

Fluency Lab members also get weekly speaking sessions with native tutors, a dedicated coaching team, and priority support.

YouTube, classes and apps give you content, not a system. Mandarin Blueprint gives you:

  • A clear path to advanced proficiency, proven.
  • Tools that actually work (memory techniques, SRS, comprehensible input, etc.)
  • Real human support from people who actually care about your success, not just getting paid.
  • A community of thousands of legends to keep you accountable and excited to show up each day
  • Most importantly, everything builds step-by-step. You stop guessing, start progressing.

It’s designed for serious learners – people who want results fast and are willing to put in the work (even if just a little each day). If you don’t have the dream of getting to a high level of Chinese at some point, then we recommend a more mainstream app or listen-repeat program that will cover the basics. That said, Mandarin Blueprint is very flexible, beginner-friendly, and entirely self-paced.

Our weekly events are relaxed Q&As with the founders (Luke & Phil) and community leaders. You can ask questions live, get real-time feedback, or just watch and learn. Yes, everything is recorded and uploaded – so you’ll never miss out.

Our community is hosted on Skool – the best platform for online communities. Inside, you’ll find:

  • Leaderboards and gamified progress
  • A classroom packed with bonus video courses, PDFs, and audio
  • An events calendar with live coaching sessions
  • Direct messaging with other learners and the MB team for accountability and support

It’s a vibrant, positive space that keeps you motivated and moving forward.

Nope. Everything runs in your browser and is fully mobile-friendly. You’ll also get access to a flashcard app for daily study on your phone if you like. The only downloads you get are optional audio and video downloads for all of the thousands of sentences, articles, and stories, so you can review on the go.

Yes — everything is mobile-optimized, including the flashcard system, course platform, and the community itself.

The course is built for simplified characters. However, the techniques work just as well for traditional — and many learners adapt the system easily. Reach out to our support team if you need help doing that.

Yes — and it’s not just theory. Our Hanzi Movie Method and Living Links have helped thousands of learners retain characters  and words permanently. Try it for yourself and see what all the fuss is about.

We’ve designed Mandarin Blueprint for exactly this kind of learner. If you’ve tried other methods and failed, you’ll likely find this refreshingly different. We’ve helped people with memory issues, time constraints, and self-doubt rebuild their confidence — and finally get results.

You’ll get instant access to the free course and community right away – you can start learning immediately. We’ll also reach out to say hello and see where you’re at with Chinese. If it makes sense, we can help you put together a study plan based on your level and the time you have available. No pressure, no obligations – just a team that genuinely wants to help you succeed.

Fluency Lab is our guided coaching and speaking program for learners who are serious about reaching fluency. It includes weekly live speaking sessions with native tutors, a personal Fluency Roadmap based on your level and schedule, the full Blueprint curriculum (88 levels, 3,050 characters, 11,800 words), coaching from our team, and a clear daily study plan. When you’re ready, our team can walk you through how it works and whether it’s a good fit.

Just click any of the buttons on this page and enter your details – no payment or credit card needed. You’ll get instant access to the course, community, coaching calls, and bonus materials. From there, just follow the welcome video and start with lesson one.
