From "Pain Points" to "A Quick Start": The Story Behind This Chinese Course

1. Originality: Leaving "Pinyin Dependence" Behind

Traditional courses often regard pinyin as the "first hurdle," but for non-native learners, this brand-new phonetic system is a burden in itself. I made a counterintuitive choice: skip pinyin entirely and directly link Chinese characters to their pronunciations through "native language approximate pronunciations + audio."​
The core originality lies in "scene-binding": each character is not only taught with its meaning but also directly connected to real-life scenarios.

2. Scientific Design: The 594 Characters Backed by Data

The reliability of this course starts with its foundation: 594 characters carefully selected from the Modern Chinese Frequency List and daily conversation corpora. These characters cover 80% of daily communication – this is not a guess but a fact based on data.​The course design ensures that these characters "reappear" in different modules. This spiral review is in line with Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, making the memory effect three times better than isolated memorization.​Grammar has also been scientifically simplified, with each step building on the previous one to avoid overwhelming leaps that are hard to handle.

3. Ease of Learning: Breaking Complexity into "Hands-On Bits"

I have always believed that for beginners, "being able to learn it" is more important than "learning it deeply." Therefore, the course does not include explanations of stroke orders or grammar jargon, focusing only on "how to recognize it, pronounce it, and use it in 1-2 sentences."

4. Friendliness to Beginners: Learning Like "Chatting with a Friend"

Foreign learners are most afraid of two things: "being severely corrected" and "not understanding anything." This course avoids both:​Pronunciations are expressed using native language approximations to avoid hesitation caused by "inaccurate pronunciation."​I want them to feel that Chinese is not a "tough nut to crack" but a "tool that can be used for chatting right away."

5. Reliability of Quick Results: The 20-Day "Closed-Loop Design"

"Speaking basic Chinese in 20 days" is not a slogan but is guaranteed by "high-frequency coverage + spiral review":​A maximum of 30 new characters are taught each day, and scattered skills (such as dining + shopping) are integrated into complete dialogues.​The final test is not "writing characters" but "completing 3 real-life dialogues" (for example: greeting → ordering → paying). This is the "mastery" that learners care about.
