Everything you need to know before midnight
Plus a sneak peek inside the community!
Today is the last day.
At midnight tonight, enrolment for Interactive Mandarin for Beginners closes.
And we kick things off tomorrow with a live welcome call.
So if you’ve been reading my emails this week and thinking about it…
This is the time to take action.
And if you’re wondering how the community element works, check out the virtual tour at the end of this email!
Let me put everything in one place for you:
What is Interactive Mandarin for Beginners?
It’s a fully interactive 12-week program that teaches you Chinese characters, vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, and speaking — together, through real Chinese news stories.
You get real feedback from me and native speakers throughout the program.
And you’ll build your own system to make real progress.
Why does it work?
Because it combines three things that most beginner Chinese courses are missing:
Direct feedback and community. You’re never learning alone. Ask questions in the community, submit your speaking and writing any time, and get direct feedback from me and my native speaker team.
Real-life content. Every lesson is built around a genuine Chinese news story — hand-picked by me because it’s interesting, relevant, and suited to beginner level. You learn Chinese the way it’s actually used, not the sanitised version textbooks pretend exists.
An integrated method. You learn reading, writing, listening, and speaking together — because that’s how things actually stick. Every character has stroke order animation, articles, vocab, and dialogues native audio, and there’s a record-and-playback so you can compare yourself to a native speaker and self-correct.
What do you actually get?
A community of learners just like you
12 weeks of real news-based interactive content
Characters, vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking, and writing practice
Stroke order animations, writing practice for all characters
Full audio, transcripts, and app integrations for every lesson
Record-and-playback to compare yourself to native speakers
Quick-fire review in every lesson to check your progress
Feedback on your speaking and writing from me and the team
Mandarin Foundations: The Character Foundation, The Tones Tune-Up, The Habit Builder, The Context Learning Compass
Lifetime access to all content and the community with free future updates
Everything in one place for coherent study
And you get these bonuses:
1:1 coaching call with me to agree your plan and goals
3 months free RTM Plus membership for immersion content
Who is it for?
Beginners who describe themselves as between HSK1 and HSK3 who are frustrated and feel stuck.
It’s also excellent for once-higher-level learners who are rusty and out of practice.
How does the community work?
That’s best explained with a short tour of the site:
How much does it cost?
It’s a one-off investment of $497 for 12 weeks of structured, interactive, news-based Mandarin — with lifetime access to all the content.
Or $1,997 for the full VIP experience with 1:1 coaching with me, and daily voice note feedback and 12 x coaching sessions with a native speaker.
Enrolment closes tonight at midnight tonight (in 6 hours)
We kick things off with a live welcome call tomorrow at 4pm UK time.
So if you’ve been on the fence all week, this is the moment to hop aboard!
See you inside!

P.S. One last thing…
I’ve spent 23 years learning Chinese the hard way, in the real world, not a classroom.
I’ve spent the last six months building this course obsessively, rebuilding it until it was right.
Students from the last cohort are coming back again.
New students are calling it “a next level learning opportunity” with “killer features.”
And if it's not right for you at any point during the 12 weeks, I'll refund you in full. No questions asked.
I don’t think I can make it any easier than that. :)
