Description

Learn to really speak and understand the Chinese language!

Not for an exam but for real life. wtfmandarin is the bridge between English and Chinese - the Chinglish bridge. 

wtf = watch-try-flaunt. Watch the videos. Try the audio try files. Flaunt to your Chinese friends and communities.


How to learn Chinese with wtfmandarin:

1) In-classroom video with Liam and a beautiful Chinese assistant presenting new language

2) Street videos of Liam and wtf students putting this Chinese into real-life action here in China at the end of each lesson

3) You will practise your new Mandarin with each lesson's downloadable audio try files 


We do not

  • Teach through rote learning and memory tests
  • Start learning new Chinese language without building on our previously learnt Mandarin   


At the end of the course you will be able to:

  • Have real conversations using 100% Chinese
  • Show off your street-wise Chinese
  • Understand Chinese culture and Chinese perspectives

You can join wtfmandarin students like Jimmy that leave 5-star reviews explaining how "I learnt lots about Chinese culture from this course. I can’t wait to go to China and order a beer! 啤酒!Seriously good job wtfmandarin"


wtf mandarin founder, Liam:

  • Three years ago could not speak one word of the Chinese language
  • Discovered Chinglish and his Chinese journey started
  • Developed the course he wishes he had 3 years ago


Hundred's of students here in Shanghai have crossed the Chinglish bridge to fluent Chinese. Now it is your time! Liam is lucky to be assisted by two of our most elegant and competent teachers, Nicole and Pinky. Don't forget you have your 30-day full refund guarantee, which you can use for any reason at all.  

If you have already completed the Survival Course then skip the first 10 lessons as they cover the same foundational language and start from Lesson 11: dànshì them buts!
