How I Learned Fluent Mandarin in One Year

First things first -- yes, technically the title is a bit misleading. I DID learn to speak Mandarin during only one year of extremely intense study in China, but I also had a "year" of beginner college Chinese classes prior to that (year in scare quotes because it wasn't intensive study). However, I did learn Chinese to fluency well before my year in China was up, so we're probably talking 15 months or so before I could truly call myself fluent.

Anyway, yes, these are the actual study methods I used to get fluent in Mandarin in a year. No B.S., no nonsense. Check it out and hope you enjoy! And leave some comments about what works for you!

Thanks for visiting Ari in Beijing! I've honed my Mandarin Chinese to near native-level fluency through a variety of tips and tricks that I share with you each week.
