Keith has years of experience as a test prep instructor and is currently working on a Ph.D. in Mathematics instruction. After only 9 weeks of using The Mandarin Blueprint Method course, he managed to pass an official HSK 3 test paper, having started from a less than HSK 1 level and with only basic pronunciation. This is an incredible achievement.
Here are some topics we touch on:
- The vital role of having FUN in making rapid progress
- How Keith passed an HSK paper in 9 weeks
- How building memory palaces to learn characters makes the learning process so much easier
- What Keith plans on doing with his rapidly improving Chinese skill
- How the numerous moving parts of the MB Method has impacted Keith’s learning experience
- The benefits of writing practice
- How to improve listening and speaking
- The importance of appreciating your own achievements with Chinese
(Note: Unfortunately, we lost the last 5 minutes of the interview due to internet issues)
Many thanks to Keith for sharing his thoughts, feelings, and general experience of the course in such an articulate and pleasant manner. We hope to have him back on again soon.
