Speak Mandarin More Confidently and Naturally in Just 50 Days

Think you need years of studying or hundreds of hours of classes to actually speak Mandarin? I did too - until I built a system that changed everything...


After teaching hundreds of students and seeing so many struggle to make real progress, I realised the problem wasn’t effort - it was structure. Most learners get stuck memorizing isolated words, following random lessons, or trying to “figure it out” on their own.


So I created the Chunking Chinese 50-Day Speaking Programme - a complete, guided system that takes you from a struggling intermediate learner to starting to engage more confidently in natural conversation in just 50 days.


Here’s what makes this programme different:

  • Know exactly what to fix every day
    Daily personalised homework feedback shows you precisely where your Mandarin is breaking down, so you stop guessing and start improving the right things.

  • Speak more naturally in real conversations, faster
    Weekly 1-to-1 speaking sessions mean you’re practicing actual Mandarin and have the chance to apply what you're learning.

  • Make steady progress without overthinking your study plan
    A clear 50-day step-by-step structure removes uncertainty and decision fatigue, so you always know what to work on next and why it matters.

  • Stop translating and start speaking automatically
    You learn Mandarin in high-frequency chunks and sentence patterns, the same building blocks native speakers use, so your speech becomes smoother, more natural, and more confident. 

  • Retain what you learn without spending hours setting up flashcards
    I personally create and maintain your Anki flashcards for you, based on your mistakes and target structures, so your review time directly supports real conversation, not generic vocab lists.


The result? Students go from hesitation to speaking more naturally and confidently in real-life conversations.


This is not just another course, spaces are extremely limited. I limit spots to 1-2 new students every month to ensure every learner gets personalised guidance and they attention they deserve. 


If you’re serious about making Mandarin stick and finally breaking through the plateau, this 50 day programme is your path.

After Teaching Hundreds of Students, I Realised There Are Only 3 Pillars to Actually Speaking Mandarin

After years of teaching learners and seeing so many get stuck despite hours of study, I noticed the same mistakes over and over again...


Students would spend months memorizing words or following random lessons, but still struggle to form real sentences, understand conversations, or speak confidently.


When I focused on fixing these mistakes, the results were incredible. 


Learners went from hesitant struggling intermediate learners to starting to confidently hold conversations in just weeks.


That’s when it became obvious: to truly speak Mandarin naturally, you really only need to master three pillars:


  1. Put Pronunciation First – Get the tones, rhythm, and sounds right so people can understand you.

  2. Deepen Comprehension – Train your ear to hear words, phrases, and sentence patterns as they’re naturally spoken.

  3. Retain What You Learn – Practice speaking and producing full sentences, not just memorizing isolated words. Use evidence based strategies to really remember and retain all that you learn. 



That’s it.


But if it’s this simple… why does so much studying feel like spinning your wheels without actually going anywhere?


Most learners focus on the wrong things - endless vocab lists, rigid grammar drills, or passive learning without real practice. Others try to shortcut it by speaking without guidance, which often reinforces mistakes.


Without a system that combines pronunciation, listening, and active use, progress is slow and frustrating.


The Chunking Chinese 50-Day Speaking Programme puts all three pillars into a proven, structured system - so you can finally speak Mandarin more naturally, and confidently.

  • Feel they “know the words” but can’t put sentences together smoothly

  • Want to sound more natural and confident, not just “technically correct”

  • Are tired of jumping between apps, textbooks, and videos without a clear plan

  • Value structure, feedback, and accountability over self-study alone

  • Are willing to commit time and focused effort over a 50-day period

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who is this programme for?

    This programme is designed for intermediate Mandarin learners, people who understand a decent amount of Mandarin but struggle to speak confidently in real conversations. We usually require learners to be around HSK3-4, but highly motivated HSK2 learners have also benefitted greatly from the programme. If you’re a complete beginner, this programme may not be the right starting point.

  • How much time will I need to commit?

    The programme requires roughly 45–90 minutes per day, plus a weekly live session. This commitment ensures consistent progress, but the schedule is flexible to fit around your other responsibilities.

  • What results can I realistically expect in 50 days?

    Most intermediate learners notice increased fluency, reduced hesitation, and more confidence in conversations. The exact results depend on your practice and engagement, but the programme is designed to help you speak more naturally and confidently in real situations.

  • What if I’m not sure this programme is right for me?

    That’s why we start with a short intro call. We’ll discuss your current level, goals, and expectations. If it’s not the right fit, I’ll guide you toward the best next steps for your Mandarin journey.

  • Why isn’t the price listed on the page?

    This is a premium, fully personalised programme, and the investment depends on the level of support each learner needs. I want to make sure the programme is the right fit for you before discussing the price. During a short intro call, we’ll review your current level, goals, and availability. If it’s a good fit, I’ll explain the investment and answer any questions, so you can decide with full clarity and confidence. This approach ensures fairness for both sides and that you’re only committing if the programme truly matches your needs.

  • I've already purchased Chunking Chinese, what's the difference between this and the course I already have?

    The Chunking Chinese course content forms the base of this programme. However, this programme involves more guidance and personalisation with daily homework and weekly speaking sessions. I also provide a lot more hands on support for the students of this programme. As a Chunking Chinese student you are able to upgrade. If you're interested, book an intro call and we can discuss this further. In summary, the 50 Day Speaking Programme is for learners who want personalised guidance from me and faster progress. Whilst the Chunking Chinese course is for learners who want to learn the Chunking Chinese system at your own pace.
