Let’s Be Real: Being An Advanced Mandarin Learner Has Drawbacks…

Some that probably didn’t cross your mind when you were a beginner or intermediate speaker. When you’re first starting there’s so much to learn, but it doesn’t feel super overwhelming because everything is new and exciting. And you soak it up like a sponge.

But once you get into the advanced stages, everything starts to slow down. You don’t learn things as quickly, complicated grammar and sentence structures take more effort to master, and those dreaded plateaus seem to never end – the novelty and excitement turn to dust.

You’ve gotten so far with the language that you could just stay where you’re at right now and be fine, but you don’t want to settle for fine. The only problem is that you start to feel stuck and aren’t sure where to go from here.

Not to mention other issues like:

  • Still translating from your mother tongue to Chinese in your head

  • Lacking specific vocabulary to describe deeper thoughts and opinions

  • Finding it hard to get past your current plateau without moving abroad

  • Studying by yourself too much and developing hard-to-kick habits without realizing it

  • Lacking someone who can give you proper feedback to improve

  • Trouble with colloquialisms, chengyu, or slang that native speakers use effortlessly

  • Not being able to make significant progress quickly – which takes a mental toll

That’s probably more than you thought you would have at your level. And at this point, It's not your studying technique that needs work… It’s your speaking and listening that could use a level-up. So what do you do? Do you hire a professional teacher, consume more media, or keep learning more words?

I’ll get to that answer in a minute. But first, let me ask you something…

Would You Be Happy If You Stayed At Your Current Mandarin Level?

Sure, you can have lengthy conversations with native speakers, order food easily, and handle most things that daily life would throw at you if you lived in China (or already do). But what problems would stick around?

First, you could forever be at your current plateau. You might still struggle to participate in deeper discussions with natives about film, literature, or other cultural content. They might not even bring up these topics because they would know you lack the vocabulary to join in.

You could continue to second guess your word choice, sentence structure, or grammar points – leading to a lack of confidence in your speech. If you have a job that uses Chinese you might struggle to express complex ideas, negotiate delicate situations, or build strong relationships with your coworkers or clients.

Worst of all, you might become intensely aware of the things in Mandarin that you need to work on but never mastered. Bringing on the feeling that you might never fully internalize the language, despite your high level of proficiency. Not to mention feeling like you wasted time and resources all these years 😬

But this doesn’t have to happen. You’ve already learned and accomplished so much with Chinese. At your level, it doesn’t have to feel like a dark cloud hovering over you.

All you need is a step-by-step system designed specifically for advanced learners that can bring back the fun of learning and make your speaking and listening as native as possible. And I’ve created a system for you that can do everything I just mentioned and more. I call it…

Mandarin Expert Club - An 8-week Bootcamp Curated To Help You Think In Chinese And Crush Your Current Plateau

It utilizes the “Tai Chit Chat” method, which uses authentic native material to have you discussing a wide variety of topics to improve your speaking and listening skills. Materials like:

  • Reality shows

  • Interviews and documentaries

  • News reports

  • Standup comedy

Coupled with instructor lessons on the grammar and content of each video, they’ll help you express your thoughts and opinions more natively or formally. 

Each week of the bootcamp is divided into 4 days of new lessons and 1 day of review – with material ranging from advanced grammar and sentence structures, to interactive flashcards full of words from the videos. We’ll break it all down and walk you through super formal structures, colloquial expressions, chengyu, idioms, and even internet slang.

We’ll guide you to use it all to talk about anything – like daily and workplace life, interpersonal relationships, culture, international relations, technology, and more. On top of this, you’ll get daily content tailored to your advanced skill level consisting of everything you need to think in Mandarin naturally – just like a native speaker.


And the best part? You’ll be able to submit daily missions to grandmaster coaches and get feedback on any mistakes you might be making. This is what advanced learners actually need to continue progressing.

  • "The program helped me develop a more well rounded understanding of different grammatical concepts. It also helped create consistency with daily practice and being held accountable to the missions for feedback. Also, the test at the end of the week during the livestream was another motivator to thoroughly understand the concepts from the week."

    Jared Odegard, Director of Product Design

  • "The instructors daily feedback is the main highlight of the program since it’s easier to understand what we need corrections with in our sentences. A close second would be the discord community since my classmates were able to help each other throughout the course and reaching out to teachers has never been easier if you need clarification with a certain grammar/sentence structure point."

    Eloisa 曾玉清 Assistant Restaurant Manager

  • "I am becoming more confident about speaking up and trying sentences out even if they are wrong. I did not understand the 把 structure before but now I have a much clearer understanding. I also did not understand a lot of the "why" we use certain structures or phrases and each item was carefully explained."

  • “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.”

    David 郝大维

  • “The time that Rita and her teaching assistants spend with students is phenomenal and unparalleled. There’s literally endless hours of individualized and group instruction that could easily cost thousands of dollars elsewhere. 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 the rest of your life. ”

    Daniel Bradford, CIO, engineer and senior executive

  • “I need this kind of pressure to perform well. And the bootcamp exceeded my expectations. The daily missions, along with the clear feedback, were challenging and sometimes frustrating, but definitely helpful. I started learning Chinese 13 years ago, and I'm quite fluent. I even teach Chinese myself. Yet, I found the bootcamp extremely useful and interesting.”

    Renata Mirková, Freelance Chinese Teacher & Interpreter

  • "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. Thank you Fàn Lǎoshī. I am so lucky to have found you at the beginning of my Chinese learning journey.”

    T.K. Butler, Real Estate Broker

  • "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. And it goes without saying that the tolerant, but always direct and helpful feedback from the teachers on the Daily Missions is worth its weight in gold! If it wasn’t for that, I might have given up near the start!”

    Patricia, English and Music Teacher

  • “From detailed actionable feedback, straight forward exercises, and a consistent time structure, I could find myself making meaningful progress each day of the boot camp. Though I still make some mistakes, I regularly shock native Chinese speakers."

    Ben Williams, Undergrad Student in Finance

  • “If you implement the feedback and commit to the daily exercises and submissions, you will find that your skill will grow and develop. The more effort you invest, the better the results. 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.”

  • "I had never tried to speak Chinese in a setting like this (or any other setting, for that matter). It was extremely helpful to get a realistic assessment of my speaking ability and the lessons helped me gain a lot more confidence."

    Alex, Writer And Teacher

  • "I loved the teachers and the material. But I am disappointed with myself, due to my own screw ups, because I wasn't able to take advantage of the fantastic, excellent, and super helpful teachers of Rita's quality level and the fabulous content."

    Victor Amezcua, Mathematician and (serious amateur) applied linguist

  • "Time duration was always kinda tricky for me. I feel like I get it now. And I feel much more confident speaking to strangers in Chinese. I feel like I have to tools to speak with natives and not be super awkward."

    Calypso - Teacher

  • "I really loved the weekly sessions with the teachers. They’re fabulous. I was able to work more on connecting words more fluidly and now I'm able to express myself better."
