Mandarin From the Ground Up

Abnormal Language Arts

52 Episodes

Learn to speak Mandarin the same way you learned your native language: by imitating what you hear.

No memorizing, no tedious grammar lessons, no superhuman willpower, just the sounds of Chinese, your ears, and you. Let's start speaking Chinese for real this time.

Season 2 starting August 2021, with new lessons every couple weeks (or so). Subscribe to start building your Mandarin from the ground up!
