Who is Rita?
I've been teaching Mandarin to people from all over the world for over 10 years! I've taught both in China and the U.S., helping people ranging from complete beginners to foreign actors who perform in Chinese!
I really dislike how little emphasis people place on learning proper pronunciation and tones, and even when teaching these things, most teachers don't tell you exactly how to produce these sounds.
I've taught people from the U.S., Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa, and I'll help you make the little adjustments you need so you get a feel for the pronunciation quickly and easily!
I love languages and I love teaching languages, I'm really excited to help you along your Mandarin learning journey!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. I've never learned any Mandarin. Can I sign up for this course?
Of course! Learning great pronunciation is always easiest when you're first starting out. If you've never studied Chinese before, it's easy to build good pronunciation habits, and this'll help you learn how to listen to others well, too!
2. I have a terrible ear for foreign languages. (I might even be tone deaf.) Can I still pronounce things well?
"Having a terrible ear" is usually just a current state that can be changed rather than something that defines you. I'll show you exactly HOW to pronounce the sounds yourself, and if your brain hears you pronouncing things correctly, it'll start to pay attention to when other people do it as well!
3. English isn't my native language? What can I do?
Most teachers in a specific country and even many textbooks are aimed at the English-speaking world. My pictures and diagrams will help you produce the sound correctly no matter where you're from, and towards the end of the program, I'll be adding new
4. What makes this program different from other Chinese courses?
We're not just focusing on Chinese pronunciation. My goal is to provide you with a blueprint for learning to speak fluent Mandarin and have great conversations, including pronunciation of individual sounds, mastering tones, but also helping you to understand how it is that people speak out in the real world. We’ll practice high-frequency expressions, and you’ll have access to conversations with both natives and non-natives along with full transcripts in English, Hanzi (Chinese characters), and Pinyin so you can practice both listening and speaking along.
5. I've never learned a language before. Is this going to be very technical?
Of course not! I'm personally very experienced in phonetics, linguistics, and language acquisition, both in theory and in practice, but the whole point is to make everything very simple and easy to understand, so you can just pick up and go!
6. How long will it take me to learn Chinese pronunciation?
Everyone's different, but if you've never studied Mandarin before, learning a new set of pronunciation habits as well as being able to hear/produce tones can take 80+ hours, but that means that with 1 hour a day, you'll be speaking with confidence and hearing things clearly in less than 3 months.
If you've previously studied Mandarin but don't have lots of "ingrained" mistakes, we're going to have to retrain your mouth and ears. You'll start hearing a difference in as little as 1 week, with great progress visible in 1 month.
7. Are there payment plans available?
Yes. You can purchase with 3 monthly payments of $67 USD. Or in full for $197 USD.
