Hello, I’m Michael, a Chinese language instructor with over 8 years of focused experience in teaching Mandarin to non-native speakers.
When I taught Chinese abroad, I noticed a common struggle: too many beginners get stuck on pinyin and complex rules, while all they really want is to "speak up right away." That’s when I asked myself: Could we skip pinyin entirely? Let learners see, listen, speak, and grasp the basics in the shortest time possible? This course is the answer.
