The Phrase Vault Helps You Master Thousands of Mandarin Phrases Quickly, so You Can Finally Start Communicating Smoothly with Native Speakers.
Crazy, right?
If you’re like most serious Chinese learners, you enrolled in classes or an online course, bought some textbooks, and maybe even hired a tutor. Super motivated, you’re doing all the things.
But you’re also noticing a disturbing reality…
Whenever it’s time to say something in Chinese–e.g., talk to a doctor, interview with a potential employer, or engage with native speakers in some way–those memorized characters and classroom lectures aren’t helpful at all.
Not enough to pass the “HSK 9,” of course–that’ll come with time–but enough to enable you to have simple conversations right now.
Let’s be honest: Without some basic sentences tucked away in your brain and ready to roll off your tongue, it’s easy to end up in situations where you feel like you got shoved onto a stage…in the middle of a play…in front of an audience…without knowing one line of dialogue!
We know. We’ve been there. Sheesh. Talk about brutal! In those agonizing moments, you feel dumb…humiliated…maybe even judged. Those are the times you just want the ground to swallow you up (or in chinese “恨不得找个地缝钻进去” find a crack in the ground and crawl inside).
In such moments, you could whip out an old-fashioned phrase book and produce a mumbled, mangled, mishmash of Mandarin.
But without knowing how the words and phrases are pronounced, you’d just sound like a dumb foreigner!
No, you don’t need a phrase book…you need The Phrase Vault.
The Phrase Vault (TPV) contains the exact phrases you need to shine in your next conversation–wherever you are!
Imagine having a stockpile of essential phrases and basic sentences right on the tip of your tongue, and knowing exactly what to say in all sorts of day-to-day interactions.
What if, next time you’re in a Chinese market, or traveling in China, you could easily and effortlessly say things like “Where is the train station?” or “What’s the next stop?” (Or any one of thousands other common phrases Chinese people use every single day!)?
That’s what The Phrase Vault delivers.
It’s organized around common subjects like: “Travel & Directions,” “Medicine & Health,” and “Work & Education.”
It’s 130 “everyday life” categories and subcategories…each one with 3-5 bite-sized lessons…each lesson covering 15-30 relevant phrases.
Altogether that’s 350 lessons and 7,000+ Chinese phrases!
Through engaging audio files and interactive flashcards, you’ll go beyond memorizing essential Mandarin phrases—you’ll understand their context, usage, and meaning.
With each module, you’ll enhance your ability to express yourself clearly–and get that much closer to true fluency!
These files ensure you actively engage by repeating phrases aloud, strengthening your pronunciation and speaking abilities.
Audio File Example: [Learn, Listen & Repeat]
These files are just the Chinese phrases from the lesson without English, designed to improve your listening ability. Passively absorb Mandarin by listening to lesson phrases while you go about your day. Just hit "play" and let the phrases sink in.
Audio File Example: [Immersion ]
This final audio file challenges you to think quickly and produce phrases in real time, essential for fluid conversations.
Audio File Example: [Think & Produce]
Each lesson offers flashcards designed for spoken Mandarin. The "Speak" card, which is required, focuses on pronunciation. If you're a member of our flagship curriculum "The Blueprint," (where you can master the Chinese characters used in the phrase you’re memorizing), you have the option to include "Read" flashcards to enhance your reading skills alongside speaking.
Each lesson is designed to maximize your learning by combining auditory, visual, and oral practice. You’ll not only memorize thousands of must-know phrases but also be able to speak them fluently when it counts.
Even with a pile of phrasebooks, weeks of 1-on-1 tutoring, and expensive listen-repeat programs, it’s unlikely you’d master even half the natural-sounding phrases included inside The Phrase Vault. No other course out there has such a uniquely effective system for learning and remembering Mandarin…
(Worth $1,500!)
Good luck getting help from a popular app like Duolingo or Pimsleur. And sure, you could call a tutor with your questions–but you’ll pay for every minute of their time.
When you purchase The Phrase Vault, you get expert support from our Mandarin Blueprint team. We’re here to save you from confusion or embarrassment whenever you have a question. Just email and we’ll get back to you quickly–usually within 24 hours!
Access to The Phrase Vault also means access to the new and improved MB community forum!
There you can connect with hundreds of other Mandarin learners like yourself. Share successes…or struggles. Participate in live Q&As, fun contests and more. You’ll find a community ready to celebrate with you…or offer encouragement.
You’ll get pre-made, customizable flashcards created to run on Traverse (the coolest flashcard software around). FYI, Traverse–by itself–costs $15/month for members, and you’ll likely need it for at least a year or two. But with your purchase of The Phrase Vault, it’s free!
For most people, the word “vault” evokes the idea of “safety.” A vault offers security and peace of mind. If you’ve got a vault, there’s no reason to worry. That’s the case with The Phrase Vault too.
When you buy this resource, your purchase is safeguarded. You get our famous Mandarin Blueprint 30-day, unconditional, money-back guarantee.
If you don’t love the results you see from this course, call or email within the first month. We’ll refund all your money immediately. There’s absolutely no risk to you.
No. This course focuses exclusively on listening and speaking. If you’re looking to dive into characters, we recommend The Blueprint (if you don’t have it already).
The Phrase Vault is less a course and more a resource. That means you don’t have to try to “complete” it or “go through it in order” (any more than you’d feel like you have to read a dictionary from start to finish).
Some sections simply won’t apply to you now, so you can skip them until you need them. When you realize, for example, you’ve got a job interview coming up – and you want to make a big impression – you can go straight to that specific section in the Vault and get ready. TPV is structured to help you master the exact phrases you need and want for all kinds of life situations.
While you’ll learn a LOT of correct pronunciation in TPV (thanks to the meticulously crafted audio files), that isn’t the focus of this resource.
If you want to sharpen your pronunciation skills, we recommend our twin courses Pronunciation Mastery (PM) and Pronunciation Practice Toolkit (PPT).
PM unlocks the mystery of those tricky Chinese tones, and it can have you sounding like a native speaker after just a few hours of study.
PPT will give you the resources and exercises you need to make those new pronunciation skills stick. These two courses form a great combination.
No. And any company that claims their “Listen & Repeat” course can get you to fluency in “three weeks” or “60 days” is misleading you. “Listen & Repeat” techniques (like the ones used in TPV) are necessary but not adequate to reach fluency.
That’s why we didn’t create this course until after we built our flagship curriculum, The Blueprint. True fluency requires both a methodical “bottom-up” approach of learning characters, words, and grammar (what you get with The Blueprint) TOGETHER with a “top-down” approach of listening and speaking (what you get with The Phrase Vault).
Fluency requires you to develop both your mind and your mouth. And since speaking Mandarin involves using mouth muscles we don’t normally use, the only way to strengthen them is through practice.
TPV will help you get your mouth “in shape” for Chinese.
It will also help you develop your “Chinese brain.” The more you speak Chinese, the more connections your brain will make–and the more “aha!” moments you’ll experience.
Additionally, The Phrase Vault teaches you the specific phrases you’ll need in real-life situations, helping you confidently handle those scenarios using what you’ve learned. So while TPV works best alongside The Blueprint, it also stands on its own and prepares you for practical, everyday interactions in Chinese.
You probably got The Blueprint because you want to be proficient in Chinese (i.e., you want to read it, understand it, and speak it). And The Blueprint can absolutely get you there.
In fact, with The Blueprint and a couple of years of diligent effort, it’s possible to become fluent and literate enough to pass the HSK 9 exam and get a job as an English-Chinese translator!
But in the meantime, most learners are eager to engage in lively, everyday conversations. They don’t want to wait months before they can start having good interactions in Mandarin!
That’s why developed The Phrase Vault.
No more sweating what to say. No more awkward pauses in the conversation. No more feeling like a fluency failure.
With The Phrase Vault you’ll be able to ace all sorts of tricky communication tests:
Imagine being able to express your feelings, comfort a friend, or simply order a meal…without humiliating yourself or starting an international incident.
That’s the power of The Phrase Vault.
No fluff here–we’ve packed this course with the essentials. Inside are the real, practical phrases you need to navigate the wilds of daily Chinese communication. We’re talking high-quality “Listen & Repeat” audio files and Traverse flashcards that will make everything stick.
So, if your language learning journey lately has been feeling more like a dead end than a victory lap…unlock The Phrase Vault today.
Your interactions will go from lots of upraised palms and shoulder shrugs to “Wow, you sound like a local!” in no time.
With The Phrase Vault, you’ll enjoy…
We’re talking phrases you can use when haggling over prices while shopping, discussing hobbies with friends, or hashing out work issues with colleagues–and much more!
