Hello Listener, What’s one day of Chinese learning? Simple phrases? Takes 5 minutes. 30 new vocabulary words? At least 30 minutes. New grammar and creating your own sentences? Let’s say an hour. And we’re still just 2 hours and 35 minutes into the day. You won’t master Chinese in one day but you’ll make big progress. One day is enough to start learning, start speaking, and improve your Chinese. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but streets and city blocks here. So, if you tune into the fun, fast and easy lessons, you start speaking minutes into the lesson. Just one lesson. Imagine how much more you’ll learn in one day? It only takes one day to speak better Chinese. Start today and save 27% on all Basic and Premium... Show more
