Frustrated with your rusty, out-of-date Mandarin?
Try RTM Speaking Sprints!
One of our biggest challenges as intermediate to advanced learners of Chinese is staying up-to-date, and motivated to learn.
That’s why I created the RTM Speaking Sprints.
And it’s exactly why members of the program love it.
Because it’s all about the content.
Content which keeps you up-to-date with what’s happening in China…
Helps you learn essential relevant language you won’t find in a textbook…
And apply it in discussions with native speakers every week.
It’s the only Mandarin learning platform which teaches you contemporary language through immersion in real news as it happens, as it’s being discussed in the Chinese-speaking world.
And it works because it:
Keeps you motivated
Gives a massive confidence boost
Helps you naturally expand advanced vocab
Creates a safe environment to discuss what you learn with native speakers
Discuss the most important trends in China, as they happen
During the last Sprint, we discussed some of the biggest stories in China this year so far. Like:
Rise of AI — with OpenClaw, Seedance 2.0, and Qwen
Consumer trends — like the viral app, Are You Dead? (死了么)
Trending phrases — “the kill line” (斩杀线), and “Love you dear me!” (爱你老己).
There is nowhere else on the internet that gives you this current, fresh, and relevant content to learn every week.
In the next Sprint which starts on April 4, you can expect to be immersed in:
Robotics — the Humanoid Robot Half Marathon in Beijing is coming up in April
Consumption downgrading — how young consumers are spending their cash as the weather improves
Education and employment — April is “hiring season” (金三银四) in universities, so expect more on the challenges of youth unemployment
If you join this Sprint, just think where you could be in three months time!
Motivated and inspired to learn Chinese again…
Finally waving goodbye to your rusty Mandarin…
And feeling more confident, fluent, and informed!
But don’t take my word for it.
Take it from Chris who joined the last Sprint, and just renewed for the whole year!
Join him, and other learners like you improving their Chinese through conversations with native speakers every week in the next 12-week Sprint.
Deadline to join is Wednesday March 25.
And the next Sprint starts on Saturday April 4.
Places are limited.
Cheers,
Andrew
