202. A Homeschooler’s Experience of Mandarin Blueprint

Phil here. This week, I tackle the question that's on many language learners' minds - can you really become fully fluent in a new language? I explain why the answer is yes, as long as you prioritize the language by connecting it to your core values. I also discuss building confidence to speak to native speakers, as well as the role that mindset plays in language learning. While mindset is essential, the wrong method can still stymie your progress. I'll explain why. Tune in to this week's episode for more insights and inspiration on how to become fluent in a new language.

201. “I Need a Dictionary to Understand Myself!”

Luke here. In this week’s episode, we delve into the struggles and breakthroughs of learning Mandarin. It's natural to feel overwhelmed and discouraged at times, but we're here to guide you on how to appreciate the language through immersion. We've had students who have become so immersed that they have needed a dictionary to understand their own thoughts in Chinese. Consistent practice is key, and even just 30 minutes a day can make a significant difference. As a language learner myself with a busy life, I share my personal experiences on how to make language learning a priority. Tune in for valuable insights and inspiration to fuel your language-learning journey. _____________________________________ Join our free webinar ➜ https://go.mandarinblueprint.com/free-webinar-faster-Chinese-fluency 🔴 Subscribe for more free Mandarin Chinese training: https://www.youtube.com/@MandarinBlueprint?sub_confirmation=1 _____________________________________ ✅ WATCH THESE NEXT How I Made Chinese Easy ▶ ▶ https://youtu.be/dDK4aC7U3xI How I Grew The Hell Up To Learn Chinese ▶ ▶ https://youtu.be/tieAGl7L_gs How to Use SMART Goals to Learn Chinese Faster ▶ ▶ https://youtu.be/ipIMDrlNN8I _____________________________________ ✅ FREE RESOURCES Free checklist: "How to Speak Fluent Mandarin" ▶ ▶ https://go.mandarinblueprint.com/fluent-chinese-checklist Chinese Fluency Quiz: Take our quiz and for personalized advice on how to learn Chinese 3-5 x faster without teachers, textbooks, or classes ▶ ▶ https://mandarinblueprint.typeform.com/fluency-quiz Free Tone Pair Chart With Audio Flashcards ▶ ▶ https://mandarinbp.com/tonepairs 418 Phrases to sound more fluent In Mandarin (with pdf and audio flashcards) ▶ ▶ https://mandarinbp.com/phrases Legends Of Learning Learning (Free Video Course): A collection of full-length interviews and clips with polyglots on everything to do with language acquisition ▶ ▶ https://mandarinbp.com/LOLL Newsletter: Join Our Newsletter “Mandarin Insights” for education, motivation, and inspiration on Mandarin learning ▶ ▶ https://mandarinbp.com/newsletter Blog: Useful articles on Mandarin Chinese posted regularly ▶ ▶ https://mandarinbp.com/blog Podcast: Luke & Phil diving into everything Mandarin-related and answer questions from course members ▶ ▶ https://mandarinbp.com/podcast _____________________________________ ✅ GET THE BLUEPRINT Access the our series of courses that form the ultimate step-by-step path to Mandarin fluency and literacy!

200. Play the Understanding Game & Win Fluency

Phil here. In this week’s episode, I explore the idea of "playing to understand" when it comes to language acquisition. I believe that instead of focusing on memorization and knowledge about a language, we should adopt a more childlike attitude and focus on playing an understanding game to learn Chinese. By doing so, we can achieve real fluency and understand language patterns on a deeper level. I also emphasize that understanding does not equal memorization and that our brains are wired to extract patterns from languagess 🔴 Subscribe for more free Mandarin Chinese training: https://www.youtube.com/@MandarinBlueprint?sub_confirmation=1 _____________________________________ ✅ WATCH THESE NEXT Master THIS Emotion to Reach Fluency ▶▶ https://youtu.be/9ytfqwfFgAg TWO daily actions that will get you fluent▶▶https://youtu.be/yc5wf-ktb7I How To Develop An UNBREAKABLE Chinese Study Habit ▶ ▶ https://youtu.be/c_VzkF8GzbU _____________________________________ ✅ FREE RESOURCES What type of Chinese learner are you?
