This was mostly because I didn't have clarity on what I needed to do each day, so over time the initial motivation that I had ran out. I really wanted a "blueprint", so researched extensively and ended up deciding between 2 courses.To me, Mandarin Blueprint was the most well rounded option, and I'm extremely happy that I went with that choice. What I've been pleasantly surprised by is how effective it is to be taught a foreign language by foreigners - people who have actually been in your shoes. Luke and Phil know what common mistakes most English speakers will make, and spend more time focussing on those areas to make sure that small mistake doesn't become a habit that would be harder to break down the line. I also like how MB's native Chinese teacher, Anny, recaps lessons in full speed with a "real" Chinese accent (and animated re-enactments of conversations).They're also really responsive to messages and comments, and provide thoughtful and informative answers, sometimes by a recorded video which is a nice personal touch.I've now built Chinese into my routine, and actually feel really excited to get into it everyday. It's a great feeling to know that every minute I spent on Mandarin Blueprint or their provided Anki cards brings me a little bit closer to my long term goal. My only wish is that I started earlier! read less

I've been trying to learn Mandarin from 2 years ago and have difficulty remembering all the characters I have learned and I will have to start all over again which has been pretty daunting and eventually gave up. Till I came across Mandarin Blueprint, I have decided to try this new method and I was super excited! For the first time, I am able to remember all the words I ve learned using the Hanzi Movie Method even forgotten words, I can easily recall back. This is unbelievable! Now, I ve gotten hooked to learning Mandarin and have been looking forward to my lessons going through my daily Anki reviews religiously. I am now able to read simple sentences that got me even more excited! A great big thanks to Luke & Phil + team for all their hard work in putting this together to help those struggling to learn Mandarin. I have never once regretted purchasing this course. It has been a wonderful journey with wonderful teachers guiding you all the way. Those who are still hesitating and doubting, trust me, I wish I came to know about MB earlier. read less

I would be quite embarrassed to have to admit how many languages I’ve started to learn, only to give up on after a few weeks or months. With the Mandarin Blueprint method, however, I have made it this far and I am still having fun, and I have a clear path ahead of me to follow. I always wanted to learn Mandarin, but I thought it would be too hard, so I never even gave it a try until this year, and now, with your method, the goal of fluency doesn’t even seem that far-fetched anymore! My mind is blown. Phase 4, here we go! read less

I was never really confident enough of my progress to move on and I was aware of major gaps in my ability, particularly pronunciation. I was close to giving up on ever speaking Mandarin when I came across Mandarin Blueprint thanks to a YouTube video. I looked up a few reviews and was impressed by what I read. I signed up for the free trial and started on the pronunciation program. The methodical approach is extremely well thought out and most importantly includes a system with more than enough practice opportunities. I've now finished going through the videos of the program but still have a lot of practising to do. I'm cautiously confident that if I put in the practice time my pronunciation will improve and I can move forward with learning Mandarin. Long before I finished the pronunciation module I was confident enough to take the plunge and purchase their full course bundle. A big thank you to Luke and Phil from Mandarin Blueprint for the enormous effort they have put into the creation of this program. read less

Luke and Phil (your guides to this complex yet amazing language) take you through the very basics of absolutely nailing and refining your pronunciation (undoubtedly the first hurdle) to a method that will get you reading, writing, and speaking Chinese. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? I'm here to say, this works. After starting the two week trial I was 100% convinced on this. So much so, I ended up purchasing the full bundle.🙋‍♂️Where I'm I now? Well, after averaging one to two hours of study each day for this past month and a half, I have full comprehension on over 125 characters. Not only what they mean, but I can write them AND remember the correct tone too. So why couldn't I just learn from YouTube or a workbook? Perhaps I could've, but it would be pure rote memorization. And you know what happens when you forget a character... it's gone! You can sit there as long as you want and have no way of remembering. With the methods Phil and Luke introduce, you have a thread of memories that will bring you back to exactly how the character looks, what the tone is and what the association you have for it which in turn reminds you exactly of what the word means.📚 Of course, you'll still need to put in some work. This includes logging into the site and checking out the next words or lessons as well as daily doing your flashcards. The beauty in all that work is that you set the pace. Be as aggressive or casual as you like - still, do those flashcards daily to reinforce your learning. The Mandarin Blueprint method will introduce a new way of learning, making it fun and perhaps even stretch your creativity a bit. If you're thinking about learning a new skill or looking to learn or even improve your mandarin Chinese, Mandarin Blueprint is hands-down the way to go.🤳 Luke and Phil also make this a very personal experience. They both are active in the course forum and comments section with each lesson. This means you have that student to teacher connection, whether through them answering in the forums or even posting the question and responding in their podcast. Fellow students are also quite active in the forums. It's a true community of Chinese language learners. You can't go wrong with Mandarin Blueprint! Hoping to see you there 😎 read less
