Why you should consider joining RealTime Mandarin+ today?
When you get to a certain level of Chinese it’s crucial to learn the language in context, and with “real life” materials.
RealTime Mandarin+ is a unique language learning tool which will help you:
Maintain and improve your Mandarin so you can have real conversations with real people using the language they actually use (and not what you learn from textbooks).
Keep your language skills up to date and on trend so you can impress your Chinese friends with your amazing vocabulary.
Form a learning habit and learning routine which keeps you engaged weekly, and even daily, so you avoid the depressing and self-loathing world of language decline
And, most importantly, it helps you feel confident, and able to show off your amazing Chinese language skills!
So if you are at that stage in your Mandarin learning journey, and want to commit to maintaining and improving your Chinese, and getting back up to date, RealTime Mandarin+ is the ideal resource for you.

👩🎓 Intermediate Newsfeed
The Intermediate Newsfeed is published every Sunday. It’s fully immersive Chinese language experience aimed specifically at the intermediate learner. It’s a “real life” newsfeed in Chinese about the news as it’s happening.
🤿 Deep Dives
