Start here

Seven days. One usable Mandarin loop.

If a learner lands here cold, they should not have to perform archaeology on the navigation. This path turns the site into a short routine: hear, read, say, fade pinyin, and review.

Before day 1

Do one guided first lesson.

If you truly know zero Mandarin, start with the four-step first lesson before the 7-day path. It gives you one phrase, one Hanzi sentence, one story line, and one starter quiz.

The path

Each day takes about 10 minutes. Click the audio, say the sentence, mark the day done. Revolutionary? No. Useful? Yes, which is already more than most “learn anything fast” nonsense.

What to do after day 7

Keep the loop, rotate the content.

Use the Daily page for new expressions, Stories for reading stamina, and Drill for mixed review. The point is not to finish the site. The point is to build a habit that survives past the novelty.
