Go here to learn Chinese for free: https://go.mandarinblueprint.com/yt=x... If you’re new to our channel, we are Luke Neale and Phil Crimmins, the co-founders and co-CEOs of Mandarin Blueprint. Our company is focused on one mission: To make learning Chinese simple and rewarding. We do this by creating ground-breaking courses, services, and community for Mandarin learners like you. How we got here: 2013: We both started learning Chinese in Chengdu, Sichuan province (China). Phil got a degree in Chinese from Sichuan University. Luke went the self-study route. We both struggled a lot for the first year, wasting thousands of hours and thousands of dollars getting nowhere. 2014: We both almost quit, until we discovered the magic of ‘comprehensible input’. We used proven memory techniques to achieve advanced literacy in a few months, and began immersing in Chinese TV, movies, books, comics, and podcasts. 2015: Within a year, we went from failures, to passing the highest level Chinese exam at the time (the HSK 6), and achieved B2 spoken fluency. We did this learning part time, while it should take a FULL TIME learner at least twice as long (that works out to at least 4x faster). We became tired of everyone we knew falling into the same traps we did, struggling needlessly. We decided to share what we knew with the local community in Chengdu. 2016-2018: We started Mandarin Blueprint. We spent 100s of hours teaching what we knew in live and online seminars, gradually developing our own curriculum. 2019-2024: We officially launched our online video curriculum, and continually improved and perfected the content, community, and various supplementary courses. TODAY: Our paid membership Mandarin Blueprint Pro is taking the Mandarin-learning world by storm, making Chinese simple and rewarding for thousands of learners. To our fellow Mandarin enthusiasts!
