1-ON-1 ATTENTION
Most of the video lesson time is dedicated to follow-along practice, with quizzes and exercises after each lesson to help you master both listening comprehension and speaking. This allows you to immediately begin training your ear, voice, and muscle memory, building a real skill. Many students report noticeable progress within just two weeks of consistent practice.
Mastering pronunciation and tones early on can help you become proficient 3 to 5 times faster. This is a well-established method recommended by linguists worldwide, especially for tonal languages like Mandarin. That’s why this course is the perfect supplement to any Mandarin study program — most traditional courses simply don’t have the flexibility to give each student the focused tone and pronunciation training they need.
You’ll receive personalized notes on every assignment throughout the entire course. Watch lessons, practice, and submit your audio recordings on your own schedule. Kenan and the curators will provide timely, detailed feedback to highlight your strengths, correct mistakes early, and help you gradually master each tone and sound with precision.

Focusing on pronunciation first might seem unusual, but it’s actually one of the fastest ways to build a strong foundation in Mandarin. Just like how we learned our native language as kids—by listening and repeating—this is a globally recognized approach in linguistics for a better grasp of any language, especially tonal languages like Mandarin.
Correct pronunciation helps learners understand and be understood from the very beginning, making later lessons easier and learning new words more effective. Starting with pronunciation also ensures that students develop confidence and avoid habits that can be harder to correct later.

Yes! This program is valuable whether you’re taking another course or self-studying. It provides a clear structure, so you don’t have to wonder what to learn next, and it ensures that students at any level master their tones and pronunciation.
Many beginner courses and apps don’t go in depth or provide enough practice with Mandarin pronunciation, often moving quickly after briefly explaining tones and sounds. This can be especially challenging for learners whose native language is very different from Chinese. Our course teaches sounds and tones from a “blank slate,” helping students build a new system of the language in their muscle memory for lasting results.

The theory behind Mandarin tones is just the tip of the iceberg in this course.
From our experience, a basic understanding of tones doesn’t guarantee that you can consistently produce them correctly when speaking. That’s why we focus on personalized feedback: we’ll identify exactly where corrections are needed, and you’ll receive custom notes you can use to polish your speech.
The majority of the program is a deep dive into every single sound of Mandarin Chinese, with a strong emphasis on practice. This gives you the opportunity to:
