A true game changer in my Chinese language learning

This course is really helping me to change the way I learn Chinese. I heard about Memory Palace technique, but this particular approach is designed for this language, to better and easier remember not only word and it's meaning, but also all the details connected to the Chinese signs (strokes, tone). When I started to learn Chines I discovered that there is a huge difference between "remembering" and "recognizing". I could read the sign when I see it, but struggled every time when trying to wright them down on my own. With time, even reading started to be difficult. With increasing number of different signs it was getting harder, as some may look similar. Thanks to this technique I have now clear visualization of each sign. It helps me with reading and is a game changer for those who want to learn how to wright in Chinese as well. A huge THANK YOU guys for the opportunity to try out your technique!!!

The Hanzi Method is amazing

The Hanzi Method is amazing. I never thought I would be able to memorize any Chinese character, and even though I’m still pretty much a beginner, I’m beginning to see it’s possible. But I do not believe that people should rush to finish too many lessons and levels all at once, because my experience is that learning too many new characters in a day makes it too hard to absorb all the new information. It is a lot to memorize, several scenes, so take it slow.

This course is AMAZING!I never thought I would be able to learn Mandarin on my own. Memorizing thousands of characters and learning pronunciation and tones seemed insurmountable, but I gave the free 30 day course a try and I have to say: it TRULY works. You will be amazed just how well the HMM method works and how quickly at that too. Trust the process and GO FOR IT.

Perfect method for the person who forgets everything

This Hanzi Movie Method works surprisingly well for me. When I first started the method, I was skeptical as it seemed like more work than it was worth. Now, I can easily remember characters and their tones (which was my greatest struggle point).Aside from being fun, the method is really effective. It also improved my study methods, as I now know to group characters based on radicals, and group many words based on their morphemes. It's helped a lot to solidify specific characters in my head.

I tried many many other Chinese learning services and apps, both paid and free and when I finally decided to invest the money in Mandarin Blueprint, my only regret was not doing it sooner.

Amazing for serious learners of Mandarin.

Quick overview: I've been using this program for like 5 days so far and it has helped me learn close to 40 characters (Of which I am ALREADY noticing in Chinese media, and of course understanding characters helps you understand grammar). My personal story with MB: I am yet to buy the blueprint PRO, but I 100% will end up getting it. Whether now or in the future. Unfortunately it is up to my parents, (I'm 16), so it will take some convincing, but I'm sure everything will work out. Do Mandarin characters seem daunting and impossible to learn due to just how many there are, and do you catch yourself thinking that even if I'm able to read, how in the world am I going to be able to write?? Well, In the flashcard program that MB utilizes, you are shown the stroke order (how to write the character) and are asked occasionally to write the character on paper. You'll start to notice after a while that there is a distinct pattern in writing Chinese characters, of which is hard to explain but when you notice it it's hard to forget. That makes writing much much easier. Each lesson takes me about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 1 hour, sometimes less, but on average 1hr30m. Now, let me take my average characters learned per week and average it out on how long it would take me to reach fluency in Mandarin if I kept this consistent pace, which is surprisingly easy to do. (Yes, I even have a part time job.) Here it is:About 50 characters a week. Times 4 is about 200 a month. (Already wow!) 200 x 12 is 2,400 characters in a year. With that, I can bet I'd be able to live in China in literally. One. Year. But lets keep going, because MB states that around 3,000 characters is fluency. After 1 year and 3 months if I kept this consistent study routine I would have learned 3,000 Mandarin characters. But being realistic, because being able to keep that study routine IS possible but life happens, I'd estimate it at around 1 year and 6 months. I would not hesitate to mention Mandarin Blueprint to a friend if they told me they wanted to begin studying this fascinating language. MB team if you see this, thank you so very much for putting so much effort into making peoples dreams come true.

A company full of heart

I have been trying to learn Chinese for many years but Mandarin blueprint has helped me jump ahead, possibly as much as a year or two's progress because of their methods. I think this company is amazing and is full of heart because by creating MB light, they have made it accessible to everyone and not just those with resources to pay for a Pro course. This course hasn't just taught me how to remember Chinese characters along with pronunciation and tone, but it has taught me how to remember things that are important. You should try it. The only thing you might lose is time, but only if you're not really wanting to learn Chinese.

Fun method to learn Chinese

It's too early to tell how effective this method is going to be (it's only been a week for me - and I've learned ~40 characters), but one thing is undeniable: it's a lot of fun. It doesn't feel like work to create mnemonics for these characters and words and I'm actually looking forward to my learning session every day.

This method really works

Over 25 years I have tried many other methods to learn the Chinese characters with only moderate success, but the Hanzi Movie Method works like no other. Now I can recall the correct tone instead of guessing and can distinguish between similar characters that used to confuse me. They have put a lot of work into this system and the results are great.

I've been learning Chinese for about a year and this course is fantastic.

I have been learning Chinese for about a year now and have always struggled to learn how to read / write characters. After spending countless hours writing words to memorize them, I stumbled upon the Hanzi movie method course. Within minutes I started to memorize words. It not only works but it is extremely fun and sometimes I laugh at the ridiculous movies I make up in my head. It has also helped me with my tones on words I could already speak.I cannot thank the Mandarin Blueprint team enough for designing this course. It has been by far the best way for me to learn Hanzi.

This is truly an amazing way to remember the characters, tones and the meaning. I've tried rote memorization by writing characters over and over, but alas, they are soon forgotten. Hopefully, this method will help me remember the characters on a long term basis.

A very well constructed course full of enthusiasm and a technique of learning that is both novel and efficient.I am approaching 70 years of age and have found my memory (not losing it after all) has been greatly assisted via the Hanzi Movie Method. Try explaining it to the uninitiated (like my Chinese partner) and you may expect a curious look or two. She now gets it with a level of amusement.It involves a technique to learn the characters, pinyin, tone and meaning simultaneously.The course takes you by the hand initially and then , so far, sets you free after guiding you to a self sustaining learning level using the Hanzi Method with a heap more of the structured course to finish.Immersing yourself in reading and listening is still paramount. There are no shortcuts whatever way you try.As I continue, I become a little more excited about learning more, especially when I begin reading the characters and getting a deeper understanding of the language.Phil and Luke have come up with a niche product that will help to accelerate your learning in a comprehensive manner.Good luck however you approach your learning program.

Before starting this course, I thought that learning Mandarin would be impossible, or any language for that matter. I took 6 years of learning French and was maybe able to ask where the bathroom was, and that's it. However, this program has given me the tools to actually learnt eh language by giving me methods to help with memorization characters and make going step by step actually enjoyable, where I am going to continue to keep on the course to become fluent!

I started taking lessons on Mandarin Blueprint 3 weeks and I'm impressed with the method's speed and efficiency! I started from scratch and, so far, I learned about 100 ideograms. Their method helps students remember things that otherwise would seem totally random. It also helps building the habit of studying mandarin daily.

Really good simplified Chinese course

These guys have made a really comprehensive and fun program for learning Chinese. I already spoke a bit of Chinese and was more concerned with learning to read. They do teach simplified Chinese and not traditional. So if you are learning for living in Taiwan, you will also need to connect the simplified characters you learn here to the traditional characters in Taiwan.

Free learning materials + consistent studying habits = A lot of improvement

It really helps me learn Chinese not just by speaking but also reading and writing. I can see that I've improved, especially in pronunciation which is a very big help to start learning grammar. They've provided a lot of free learning materials which is too good to be real to be honest. Overall, it is worth it. <3

The Mandarin Blueprint That Works

I was drawn to Mandarin Blueprint because both Luke and Phil were great explainers. Both were articulate in English, my base language for learning foreign languages. Luke even had a cute British accent. Both also struck me as impassioned learners and teachers of the Mandarin language. Accumulating years of experience learning and teaching the language, they have distilled the best practices for acquiring the language fast, and more importantly, for making it stick.

Surprisingly effective and fun!

I’ve just completed level 1 and I can already say this method really works! I had tried some apps for learning Chinese before. I also tried podcasts and YouTube videos. I got rather disappointed. Nothing seemed to stick to my memory, I was getting really frustrated and almost gave up. Then I found Mandarin Blueprint. What a surprise! At first, I didn’t put much faith in it. It seemed like too much effort was necessary for creating props, remembering actors and sets... But the thing is, it’s easy! It’s fun! And, best of all, it really sticks to your memory! When we get the hang of the method, things start to roll more and more easily. Plus, the legwork you put in in the beginning, really pays off later. It’s like an investment with compound interest. Another thing I’d like to point out is the flexibility that Luke & Phil allow in the method in terms of choosing characters, sets and props. I’m not a native speaker of English, I speak Portuguese and live in Brazil. I was able to use Brazilian actors, props with names in Portuguese, everything customized to my own reality and my fond memories. That makes thing even more memorable. Well, this review is running too long already. Thanks a lot guys, for this awesome method. See you in the next video.

The Hanzi Movie Method works! I clearly wasn’t aware of the power of visualization. Before I’ve tried to learn Chinese characters the traditional way, but I never succeeded to get past the basics. With the Mandarin Blueprint it feels like I will be able to get to the next levels. My goal of fluency seems more realistic now. I’m not yet there though.

The One stop Shop for Mandarin

This online course is extremely structured and well thought out. The creators very clearly have passion for what they do, and it shows in the content. Even though Mandarin is a difficult language to learn, Luke and Phil found a way to dumb proof the course. This allows me, and lots of other people access to the language where other learning models failed in the past. I got a textbook and started studying for about a week before I discovered the blueprint: absolute waste of time, money, and energy. The blueprint is truly a one stop shop for everything you need to master the language. I didn't have to make a single flashcard from scratch, nor did I have to write pages and pages of notes. All I'm using is my brain, a piece of scratch paper, and my phone. THATS IT. I couldn't recommend them enough, and if anyone asks me how I learned Mandarin in the future. I WILL NO DOUBT NAME DROP THE MANDARIN BLUEPRINT AND IMPLORE THEM TO TRUST THE PROCESS

Amazing progress!

I am amazed I have learnt so many characters ( 900+) in 97 days at MBP. I thought it would take me years to reach this. Thank you so much for planning the whole course so well. I love the way you structure the course - the way you arrange the characters; for example to move from droop 垂 to sleep 睡 by adding the eye 目 makes it so much simpler to learn. Many thanks to Luke and Phil for structuring this course strategically! Kudos!

Away from darkness (ignorance) to the light of knowledge

First of all a very big thank you for opening the door to being able to remember and recognize the many symbols.I tried several other apps first. Some are ok but the problem was remembering the tones and how it is written.With the other methods offered by well-known apps I could never remember the words, tones and symbols.A bit frustrated, I continued looking for a solution to this problem and then I saw the explanation from the people at Mandarin Blueprint on YouTube and wanted to try this too.This turned out to be the best thing I did on my way to fluency in Chinese.Now I see light at the end of the tunnel where before there was nothing but darkness.Thanks again for that

Dont rush and believe in yourself

As an elderly student, 79yrs of age, I find this method of learning quite encouraging as I have had very little schooling and am self-educated. I SPENT 6 MONTHS LEARNING pinyin on my own before trying this course.I find some keywords different to what I have learnt but I am sure down the road it will be self-explanatory, I am a bit slower than most students but as long as I get the end result it doesn't matter to me. Thank you, Luke & Phil and all involved. CHRIS

I spent many years in Guangzhou, China and left knowing just a few stock phrases and unable to read ANY characters. After just two months of relaxed Mandarin Blueprint study, I am able to recognize and read characters and sentences and feel enthused and confident that I will get a firm grip on the language by following this technique. Luke and Phil are enthusiastic and engaging instructors and the MB method is easy to understand and very effective. Highly recommended.

Absolutely love this course and the creators, Luke & Neal who created it. I started using it back in 2019 and easily scaled to 1200 characters in less than 2 months. Currently, everything is much more refined and updated and feels and looks great. If you have any desire to learn Mandarin, Mandarin Blueprint is the way to go, in my opinion. You won't be able to not learn Mandarin if you take this course. Everything is covered in detail but without the fluff. I highly recommend the course to anyone interested in learning to read, write, listen, and eventually speak Mandarin.

I love how my Chinese writing using memory has increased from almost zero (i used to only copy and could never remembered how to write) to mastering more than 350 characters in 30+days! It is amazing because I have struggled trying to remember how to write and I have given up writing physically but now here I am almost finishing writing my first big squares exercise book and starting 2 other big square books

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!!

I seldom write reviews, but have actually been itching to write this. This course is mind-blowing. They deliver everything they promise and so much more. Luke and Phil really do make it easy and the Hanzi movie method is genius; I have just finished level 12 and still can’t believe I have learned 105 characters!!! I know I have several thousand still to go, but I can now believe it is possible. The amount of content they offer for free really is staggering; I was expecting 4 or 5 lessons and then a hard sell to sign up for the paid course. Nothing of the sort. I have been taking it fairly steady, but it has taken me almost two months to get through what they are offering for FREE! I don’t have the slightest doubt about signing up to the full Mandarin Blueprint when I finish, and I know that if I don’t reach a decent level of Chinese it will solely be down to me, not the boys. I would also highly recommend doing the Pronunciation Mastery course in conjunction with MB Lite. You do have to pay for this, but not a lot, but you will get your money back a hundredfold by finally being understood by Chinese people when you pluck up the courage to try saying some of the things you have learned. Luke made a great point that completely explained my inability to make progress after working online for a year with a Chinese teacher: Chinese people don’t understand the difficulties for an English speaker and can’t explain them. They just keep repeating the word, making you feel ever more stupid with each failed attempt! You really DO need an English speaker who understands and can explain properly what to do with your mouth and tongue. I am eternally grateful to Luke for helping me, not exactly master yet, but give a passable imitation of “R” in Chinese, which was my most hated sound and used to fill me with dread when I knew I had to say it! Also, seriously, do it before your bad habits get ingrained; my pronunciation is worst with the real basics asI am having to undo a year’s worth of mistakes. I know this has been really long, bit my final point is about the value of all the other free content they bundle with MB Lite. The most incredible for me, not just in terms of learning Chinese, but in my own life, has been the Habit Building course. Not only have I been doing my Traverse reviews first thing every morning, along with making time for study and immersion throughout the day, I have gone from smoking about 50 cigarettes a day to about 10!!! (If I wasn’t living in China I would already have saved enough to pay for the full course!)So, a HUGE thank you to the boys, and to anyone considering it, JUST DO IT!

I learn characters at least 3x faster and definitely more thoroughly. Recommended for anyone who wants to learn Mandarin at a high level.

If you want to learn mandarin, this is the absolute best way... and when I say "best" I mean the fastest and smartest way. Their blueprint method is a true technology -- a system -- that builds an infrastructure that helps you remember everything you learn. Literally so much of the work is done for you... All you have to do is follow the videos, and do the work. I had messed around for about a year doing various apps prior to signing up, but nothing was organized in a way that made me feel like i could actually "do this"... that was until I discovered the MB Method, and had my mind blow. Complete Game Changer.
