Free apps give you content.
This Bootcamp gives you correction.
This isn’t a course. It’s a pronunciation intervention.
That’s why it works.
You can watch unlimited videos and memorize 5,000 words…
But if your tones collapse the moment you speak, none of it matters.
This Bootcamp exists for one outcome:
Native speakers finally understand you… the first time.
If that’s what you want, keep reading.
WHICH MANDARIN LEARNER ARE YOU?
(If any of these describe you, you’re in the right place.)
The Frustrated Intermediate
You’ve studied for months… maybe years.
You know words. You know grammar.
But when you speak?
Native speakers look confused
You repeat yourself
They switch to English
Your confidence drops
You’re stuck at the speaking barrier, and nothing you’ve tried has fixed it.
2. The Tone-Traumatized Beginner
You want to speak Mandarin… but tones feel impossible.
You can’t hear them
You can’t produce them
You dread embarrassing yourself
You’re starting to think you’re “tone deaf”
You’re not.
You just haven’t been taught the way adults actually learn.
3. The Heritage Speaker Who Never Learned Properly
You understand bits and pieces… but speaking brings shame.
Tones slip
Pronunciation feels messy
You worry about being judged… even by family
You want to reconnect with your language
You don’t need another grammar course. You need a real foundation.
If you saw yourself in any of these, this Bootcamp will make you feel like Chinese makes perfect sense.
This Bootcamp was built for you.
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
RITA (范老师)
I’m Rita
A.K.A. Fàn Lǎoshī 范老师
Here’s the truth:
I’m not your typical native speaker.
I struggled for years with English pronunciation.
I know what it feels like to:
Be misunderstood
Lose tones when nervous
Get blank stares
Feel embarrased speaking
Plateau despite studying hard
The Mandarin Pronunciation Expert Trusted by Learners Worldwide
Over the last 14 years, I’ve deconstructed Mandarin pronunciation into a teachable system for adults:
The exact sounds
Tone mechanics
Mouth positions
Muscle memory
Stress + intonations patterns
Real “connected speech” used by natives
I’ve taught at:
Tsinghua University
Johns Hopkins University
Harvard Beijing Academy
I’ve struggled, too. That’s why I built the solution.
When I applied my methods to my own English, everything clicked.
My students felt the same shift.
Sicne then, I’ve helped 800+ learners (from beginners to heritage speakers, to actors) break through pronunciation barriers even after years of frustration.
This Bootcamp is the system responsible for those transformations.
WHY YOU CAN TRUST THIS METHOD
800+ serious Mandarin learners trained
14+ years specializing in pronunciation
Covers stress, intonation, and connected speech (no one else teaches this)
Daily personalized corrections (not generic encouragement)
Targeted notes for your voice and your exact mistakes
Students go from “unintelligible” to “native-like” in 12 weeks
What alumni hear after:
“Your tones are so clear.”
“I understood you instantly.”
“How long have you lived in China?”
This is not a “watch videos and hope” course.
It’s a fully coached pronunciation transformation with daily, targeted corrections you apply the same day.
THE REAL REASON YOU’RE STILL MISUNDERSTOOD
(It’s not grammar. And it’s not your fault.)
You’re up against:
First-language mouth habits
Inconsistent tone hearing
Tones collapsing in sentences
Native teachers who can’t describe what your mouth is doing
Vocabulary without muscle memory
Repeating mistakes without correction
Apps that never give personalized feedback
You’re not being misunderstood because your Chinese is bad.
You’re being misunderstood because your pronunciation system was never built for adults.
Most Mandarin learners don’t need more words.
They need a new mouth, a new ear, and a new system.
THE 3 MISTAKES KEEPING YOU STUCK
Mistake #1:
Believing Pronunciation Improves “Naturally”
It doesn’t.
Every wrong tone you repeat becomes a stronger wrong habit.
You don’t get better. You get more fluently wrong.
How Bootcamp fixes it:
You learn tones and sounds correctly before habits solidify.
Mistake #2:
Learning From Teachers Who Never Struggled
Native speakers acquired Mandarin as children.
They never had to consciously learn:
Tongue positions
Jaw tension
Vocal targets
Tone mechanics
Most can’t explain what you’re doing wrong, even if they want to.
How Bootcamp fixes it:
I teach pronunciation the way adults master physical skills: consciously, systematically, step-by-step.
Mistake #3:
Trying to Improve All 7 SKills at Once
Vocabulary. Grammar. Characters. Listening. Everything.
Your brain short-circuits.
Your tones collapse.
How Bootcamp fixes it:
You focus on one thing only for 84 days: Speaking Mandarin correctly in real conversations.
WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM APPS & ALL-IN-ONE COURSES
Other programs try to teach everything at once.
You dabble.
You improve nothing.
Finding Your Mandarin Voice Pronunciation Bootcamp® is deliberately different:
One problem: pronunciation
One timeline: 84 days
One superpower: daily personalized feedback
One result: native speakers understand you the first time
If you want a giant video library, this isn’t it.
If you want transformation in real conversations, this is your path.

What Other Mandarin Programs Get Wrong
There are tons of pronunciation programs out there, but they don’t offer real-time feedback on your speaking.
Some say they offer “feedback” with access to forums and “email support”, but how are you supposed to get feedback on your speech when all you can do is type and text? (I’ll wait 🙂)
With the FYMV bootcamp, you get personalized daily feedback on your voice recordings to fix your mistakes. No other program out there offers direct communication like this:
Also, other programs only offer video lessons. You stare at a talking head the whole time and hope that you can make the sounds like the person in the video.
With the FYMV bootcamp, you get weekly chances to practice your pronunciation with me in our live streams, just like Nando:
Anthony:
And Nicky:
Lastly, other programs will try and teach you reading and writing on top of speaking and listening. These are “catch-all” courses that try to focus on too many things at once.
In FYMV, we only focus on speech, and you’ll leave with a solid foundation that will last you a lifetime.

What Others Are Saying About The FYMV Bootcamp
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 and then I also did the boot camp. 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. 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!”
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, but always provided their feedback in a supportive and encouraging way.
Without this expert-level immediate feedback, there’s no way I would’ve achieved so much progress in so little time.”
Daniel Bradford, CIO, engineer and senior executive
“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. ”
Renata Mirková, Freelance Chinese Teacher & Interpreter
“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.”
Ben Williams, Undergrad Student in Finance
“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 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 boot camp.”
Mara Mendoza, Translator EN<>SP
“This boot camp system worked for me. 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 bootcamp 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 feedback given has been so detailed and helpful, causing 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
“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.
In the weekly 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 Discourse postings and the weekly 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 the homework from day 1 and compare it to the last day. I have improved massively over the last 12 weeks. I definitely am trying to convince other Mandarin learners to take the course.”
