Attention: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Mandarin Learners…
Here’s How 715+ People Have Finally Cracked The Code To Being Understood By Native Speakers Using The 4-Step “Tongue Fu” Method.
Even if you aren’t “gifted” at learning languages, think you’re “tone deaf,” or can’t read any Chinese characters
In the next 60 seconds, I’ll reveal how you can:
✅ Gain a near-perfect Mandarin accent in less than 90 days. People will have trouble believing it didn’t take you longer
✅ Pronounce any sound and tone combo in Mandarin effortlessly as if you’ve been speaking Chinese since you were a child 👶🏻
✅ Hear natives clearly and differentiate difficult sounds- even if you just started learning
…And many more ways to master Mandarin pronunciation, have consistent tones while speaking, and finally make meaningful connections with Chinese people. (No Character Memorization required 😉)
But let’s get something important out of the way first…
Pronunciation is way more important than you might think…
Why?
Because it’s the foundation that all languages in the world are built upon, especially Mandarin.
If you don’t know how to say something correctly, then you won’t be understood. Period.
A lot of learners come to Chinese thinking that they don’t have to focus on pronunciation at all.
They say to themselves: “My pronunciation will get better as time goes on”. This doesn’t happen because the bad habits they formed from the beginning solidify over time.
This makes them extremely hard to change because they’ve been saying everything wrong since they started learning.
It’s very difficult to retrain your muscle memory.
The other thing they might say to themselves is: “I’ve been studying Mandarin for years and Chinese people understand me just fine.”
But these are the same people who neglected the importance of tones and say everything in Chinese the same way they would in their native tongue.
Sure, Chinese people can “understand” them, but it is extremely difficult on their ears and it makes it hard for them to relax when speaking to you.
They have to focus and actively listen to what you’re saying. This can be mentally draining and make conversations with you exhausting.
Eventually, what happens is that…
You Get Frustrated Over Not Being Understood And Having A Thick Accent
The reason this happens isn’t that:
❌ You don’t know enough words
❌ Your grammar is bad
❌ You aren’t “good” at learning languages
It’s that you only know how to make the sounds in your native tongue, not the sounds exclusive to Mandarin.
And since you’ve been speaking your first language your whole life, this is very easy to do.
Your mouth muscles haven’t been trained to make the sounds of Chinese, so you end up mispronouncing tons of words, even when you think you’re saying the right thing.
Throw all the tones into the mix and you get a recipe for disaster. This can be exhausting.
But You’re Not The One To Blame Here
You’ve never been taught proper pronunciation to begin with. Or how to even study it correctly.
This is because most teachers have to teach a whole language to 25+ students in a semester of class, so pronunciation falls by the wayside.
Or they are non-native speakers of Chinese and lack the ear training necessary to differentiate the subtle sounds of Mandarin.
It’s even harder for them to correct your mistakes. But I have good news for you.
You can learn how to pronounce all the sounds and tones of Chinese, even if you feel like:
❌ You don’t have enough time to study every day
❌ You weren’t good at languages in school
❌ Chinese seems difficult and intimidating
All you need is a Mandarin teacher who understands Chinese pronunciation on a fundamental level, knows what learning a foreign language is like, and can guide you to making Mandarin sounds the right way.
And if you were able to pronounce every sound in Chinese correctly, then you’d be able to:
✅ Not fall apart in conversations
✅ Say more than just simple beginner phrases
✅ Express yourself fully and make Chinese friends
✅ Gain the respect of native Mandarin speakers when talking
✅ Travel in Mandarin-speaking regions alone and have total confidence in your tones and pronunciation
✅ Converse with friends, family, and colleagues effortlessly
✅ Understand native speakers, even when they speak fast
And so much more…
Entertain This Idea For A Second
You wouldn’t worry about having a thick accent, struggle to distinguish between consonants and vowels, and wouldn’t beat yourself up when you aren’t understood by native speakers.
This wouldn’t even happen in the first place.
Your Mandarin would become more fluent, you would know exactly which tones to use, and would hear native speakers more clearly as a byproduct.
Chinese would become painless… You would finally be able to form deeper connections with Mandarin speakers….
And you would gain the respect of Chinese locals at the same time.
The only problem is that finding a Chinese teacher who can train a non-native speaker to sound native is like trying to find a specific grain of sand in the Sahara desert…
It’s nearly impossible.
But That Changes Right Now
I’m Rita
A.K.A. Fàn Lǎoshī 范老师
It took over 10 years of teaching and picking apart Chinese at places like:
✅ Tsinghua University
✅ Johns Hopkins University
✅ Harvard Beijing Academy
To finally get a complete picture of how Mandarin tones, consonants, and vowel sounds are produced.
I also know the struggle of learning a new language firsthand. I spent years working on my own English pronunciation.
I was self-conscious about having conversations because I feared mispronouncing words. I couldn’t grasp native speakers when they spoke at normal speeds. And I struggled to use proper pronunciation.
When I was practicing alone, I was able to say anything I wanted to. But when I was in the heat of a real conversation… I always dropped the ball.
I wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong until I started intensely studying how Mandarin sounds were formed in our mouths, as well as the “missing piece” to native-like accents: stress and intonation patterns.
While I was figuring all of this out, I applied what I was learning to my English pronunciation… And I was shocked by my results.
After only a few short weeks I was:
✅ Saying words more clearly
✅ Having fewer misunderstandings with native speakers
✅ Even overhearing people speaking English and discerning them
It was incredible. A weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
English was no longer the monster under my bed. Instead, it became enjoyable and relaxing to use.
Even better, I took everything I learned and applied it to teaching a Russian movie star, Naran Erdyneeva. The outcome was breathtaking…
She went from speaking almost zero Chinese to sounding like a native speaker in less than 8 months.
Her Mandarin is so good that she is now revered by the entire country of China, and her speaking has taken her to the top of China’s A-list of actors.
The methods I taught her were so effective that I couldn’t keep them from the world any longer. I had to share this with other people who were studying Mandarin.
So I took everything I taught Naran, refined it multiple times over, and put it all into…

The Problem With Other Mandarin Programs
Is that they fail when it comes to comprehensive pronunciation training.
They try to cover too many language skills at once without dedicating nearly enough focus to the speech patterns that form the core foundation of the language.
Vowels, consonants, and tones might be briefly introduced, but are rarely explained in sufficient detail for mastery.
Tones tend to be glossed over and are incorrectly taught as an isolated skill rather than an integral part of fluent speech. This leads to persistent tone errors over time.
Often there’s no chance for learners to get live feedback from a native expert or speaking practice with hands-on critique. These are essential for improvement.
Also, other programs have the wrong priorities. They focus too much on reading, writing and vocabulary at the expense of building solid oral and listening abilities.
They use outdated methods like rote memorization and repeat-after-me drills that treat students like parrots rather than empowering them with natural, conversational Mandarin skills.
In Finding Your Mandarin Voice you only focus on speech. You’ll leave with a solid tone and pronunciation foundation that will last you a lifetime.
I Get It… It’s Natural To Have Doubts
Tackling Chinese can seem like a lot to deal with, but it’s not as hard as you might think.
I’m confident that anyone can master Mandarin pronunciation and tones with Finding Your Mandarin Voice, even if you:
✅ Aren’t “gifted” at speaking other languages
✅ Tried numerous programs and methods and nothing really “clicked”
✅ Don’t have any native speakers to talk to
✅ Have been told that you would eventually “figure out” Chinese tones and pronunciation
✅ Think you’re “tone deaf” and unable to recognize musical pitches
✅ Think that you’re incapable of pronouncing all the sounds in Chinese
✅ Feel like you’re too old to learn a second, third (or fourth) language
You also don’t need to know or be able to recognize any Chinese characters to succeed in this program.
We focus solely on sounds, mouth positions, and Pinyin. (Although there are hundreds of the most commonly used characters you can learn if you want 😀)

What Others Are Saying About FYMV
Ana, Architect
“I’ve been learning Chinese for more than 10 years, but never felt confident in my speaking and pronunciation, I also had some difficulties in listening and figuring what was the tone of a word. But now I can say that those skills had a huge improvement thanks to Rita’s course.”
David 郝大维
“It transformed my understanding of Mandarin and filled major foundational learning gaps I have not addressed in the decades since middle school. It's as if I've rebooted my second language ‘operating system’ with updated ‘system settings’ for tones, initials, finals, and intonation.
The feedback from teachers and engaging student discussions on Discord were invaluable. The teachers provided frank and specific feedback, a refreshing departure from the vague praise and generalized encouragement I've received in the past.”
T.K. Butler, Real Estate Broker
“I spent 4 months doing the course on my own. All of my Chinese-speaking partners have noticed the difference from before and I have met so many new clients and Chinese members of the community to talk with. Everyone is so surprised I have only been studying for less than a year and that I have never been to China.
I’m very confident, with this course, my Chinese will be fluent in no time. More importantly, I’m learning the right pronunciation that isn’t taught anywhere else. Trust me I looked! Thank you Fàn Lǎoshī. I am so lucky to have found you at the beginning of my Chinese learning journey.”
Patricia, English and Music Teacher
“Seldom have I come across a course that is so well organized and so professionally presented.
I appreciate the help and encouragement of the other students in this group. There is a great feeling of camaraderie and no judgment, which a newbie like me really welcomes and cherishes.
George J, Retired English Teacher
“Rita's pronunciation course is the only one I've found that gives detailed information on how to actually produce the sounds of Chinese and also provides an adequate quantity of practice exercises in order to develop the muscle memory required to maintain correct pronunciation in natural conversation.”
Garon, Portuguese Teacher in Brazil
“Studying with Professor Rita helps the student to have a real and practical knowledge about the pronunciation of pure modern Mandarin.
Dear reader, live this experience and then you will have an open world among the Chinese scattered around the world! ”
Lily, Veterinarian
“The teaching team doesn’t just have expert knowledge of pronunciation, but they also know how to communicate and teach this material effectively using a multi-modal approach. They were incredibly detail-oriented and set a high bar for pronunciation standards.
Daniel Bradford, CIO, engineer, and senior executive
The level of instruction and expertise is PhD quality. Students simply cannot find this quality, depth, attention, and expertise with any other instructor or course. Comprehensive, focused, professional Chinese instruction that provides foundational building blocks that will follow you for the rest of your life. ”
Renata Mirková, Freelance Chinese Teacher & Interpreter
“The program exceeded my expectations.
I started learning Chinese 13 years ago, and I'm quite fluent. I even teach Chinese myself. Yet, I found the program extremely useful and interesting.”
Ben Williams, Undergrad Student in Finance
“With the straight forward exercises, I could find myself making meaningful progress each day. Though I still make some mistakes, I regularly shock native Chinese speakers with my standard accent.
If anyone wants to develop a high-quality accent/pronunciation in a short period of time, I would suggest that they take this course.
Mara Mendoza, Translator EN<>SP
“I understand the placements of consonants and vowels; I realize now when I am making mistakes as well. I even comprehend better videos in Mandarin Chinese. The last part of the course, regarding intonation and connected speech, was the cherry on the cake for me because it makes you sound more native. I never saw these topics in other Chinese courses.”
Brent Christopher Wulf, TCM Graduate and Author
“The program not only opened my eyes but also tuned my ear in a way that I couldn't have fathomed before. Now, I am in the thrilling position of being able to revisit the course, focusing on those weak areas, and truly hone them to perfection.
Rita has thoughtfully included a host of drills in the course below each video. These were resources I hadn't previously utilized, but I am now eager to dive into them. ”
Corey Ashford, 63, Retired Software Engineer
“The program caused me to uncover so many important things that I missed during my self-paced journey. Normally you might think that receiving such detailed pronunciation information would be tedious and frustrating, but it has been not only helpful, but actually fun and engaging.
Using Discord has provided for some great conversations both with Rita and other students. It creates a sense of a classroom that isn’t common with online classes.”
Stewart Horne, Plumbing Contractor
“In the monthly live streams, Rita offers further feedback and instruction. She is patient and warm with her students, but on point with coaching them through their roadblocks.
As I continue on my journey with this language, my experience with this course has been invaluable. I will gladly invest in more of her courses in the future. Thanks Fan Laoshi.”
Nadja, Software Sales, Germany
“I think Rita’s pronunciation course is the most professionally designed pronunciation course I have ever come across. It is highly practical as it actively engages the course members via the Discord postings and the monthly live streams. The course is divided into easily digestible learning chunks and interconnected logical learning units.”
Anthony, Electrical Engineer
“I have really found the course useful and I learned a lot. Previously I tried to imitate the sounds I heard but I was not always able to discern the differences between the sounds I was making from the sounds I heard like a native speaker would. Even when I could hear the difference, I did not know how to correct it. I am not perfect but at least now I have an idea of what to work on when I am off.”
Yarka, Mechanical Engineer
“Overall, I was super happy with the course. It is crazy to listen to my pronunciation from the first lesson and compare it to the last one. I have improved massively over the program. I definitely am trying to convince other Mandarin learners to take the course.”
