My 300+ Hour Deep Dive into Mandarin Learning: Research, Trial & Error, and the Path to Fluency
I desperately wanted to learn, so I tried everything:
Every single app I could find on the app store.
Dozens of tutored lessons – both online and in-person.
Heavily taught classroom-style courses.
Any random Chinese content I could get my hands on.
But the truth was, I was a passive learner, blindly following methods without a clear strategy or understanding of the bigger picture. Even after months of effort, I barely progressed beyond "ni hao". My learning felt disjointed, inefficient, and frustratingly slow.
The turning point came when I realized the stark contrast between my Mandarin learning and my approach to medical school. In my studies, I thrived on evidence-based strategies and took full responsibility for my learning. This sparked a question: What if I applied the same principles to Mandarin?
So, I embarked on a deep dive into the science of language acquisition. I spent over 100 hours researching the best Mandarin learning methods, poring over scientific literature in psychology and neuroscience, and studying the work of leading language acquisition experts. I even dissected countless learning resources, testing their effectiveness firsthand.
