How the course works

Phase I: 50-Day Challenge (Handbook I)

• We start small: tones, numbers, and simple self-introductions.
• Then I’ll give you a clear picture of how Chinese really works—but always wrapped inside everyday conversations and useful vocabulary.
• With just 10 minutes a day, you’ll comfortably finish in about 2 months. If you give yourself 30 minutes a day, you’ll get there in just 1 month.

By the end, you will:

✔️ Understand the basics of Chinese sentence structure

✔️ Recognize and use tones correctly

✔️ Know 200+ characters

✔️ Introduce yourself and describe your daily life

✔️ Hold simple conversations with friends or strangers

Phase II: 70-Day Adventure (This Course)

• Each day gets a little longer, because by now, you’ve built the discipline and habit of learning. It’s time to go deeper.
• Starting from Lesson 12, something exciting happens: I switch to teaching fully in Chinese. Don’t panic! You’ll be ready—and yes, I’ve got subtitles (characters, pinyin, and English) in case you need them.
• You’ll read a sweet little story series (more like a fiction) while learning tons of new words, structures, and ways to express yourself.

By the end, you will:

✔️ Give a more impressive self-introduction (beyond “where are you from” “what you like”)

✔️ Share your routines, past experiences, and describe your environment

✔️ Navigate new places with confidence

✔️ Make actual Chinese-speaking friends

✔️ Invite people to hang out—in Chinese!

All of this takes just 120 days—4 months.

Four months from now, your life could look completely different.

👉 You might discover a lifelong passion (like me—I started learning Thai just out of boredom, and 12 years later I’m still here, living in Thailand!).

👉 You might open new doors of opportunity.

👉 You might meet new people and step into a whole new world.

When you enroll in The Ultimate Beginner’s Handbook course, you can expect:

✅ To get over your “I’ll never make it!” attitude and start speaking Mandarin comfortably from day one.

✅ To obtain EVERYTHING you need to know to master daily conversation.

✅ To build a clear understanding of Chinese grammar structures which you can utilise ANY time you’re struggling with sentence creation.

✅ To get past the beginning level once and for all.

Some Questions Before Starting Off Your Mandarin Journey

🙋‍♂️ What is the format of this course?

👉 Each lesson in this course includes three parts:

1. A 20-90 minutes long video lesson along with the PDF file.
2. An audio file of the new words and text for quick review.
3. Homework to make sure you know HOW to learn Mandarin, not just WHAT to learn. 

🙋 How much time do I need to finish this course?

👉 Each video lesson will take about 30 to 90 minutes. I highly recommend you take another one hour to review the lesson and do the homework. (After lesson 10, the homework will be a bit more challenging than the lesson itself. As a result, you may need to put some serious thought into the homework). 

It takes about one month to finish the first 10 lessons. And from Lesson 11 onwards, the length of each lesson will be much longer, and since we have collected enough vocabulary and sentences, there will be a lot of speaking exercises happening in the last 10 lessons. So you will spend about four months on the second half of the course.

🙋‍ I’m a complete beginner, can I study this course?

👉 YES! This is the course designed for complete beginners, and it’s the course that can ensure you get past the beginning level once and for all.

🙋‍♂️Do I need to know Pinyin (the Chinese phonetic writing) before I start the course? 

👉You don’t need ANY previous knowledge of Chinese to start this course. We won’t spend too much time on studying Pinyin because as an adult learner who understands English, you really don’t need to spend hours on Chinese phonetic writing. I promise you that you won’t have any problem reading the Pinyin text. 

🙋‍♂️I’m an intermediate level student, can I still use this course?

👉 I have seen a lot of students who have passed HSK3 or higher level but are still not comfortable in speaking Chinese. If you have learned Chinese for a while but still feel scared to speak up, this is a perfect course for you to use the words and sentence structure that you are already familiar with to practice speaking and thinking in Chinese.
