Learn Mandarin Online

Hi! My name is David! Here you can learn Mandarin Chinese online by watching over 30 videos that I've made and found on YouTube. Chinese really is not as hard as you might imagine at first. With some studying and determination you too can learn to speak fluently one day! I hope this website gives you some inspiration to pursue learning the language and wish you good luck!


For beginners you might also want to check out Pimsleur . They teach with a tried and tested method whereby you learn by repeating what you hear - just as you learned your native language when you were a baby. Indeed, there's no need to read or write to study Mandarin with the Pimsleur method.

In the beginning you might find learning Chinese to be very discouraging. Indeed, for hundreds of years both Chinese and Western people alike have stuck to a myth that it's impossible for non-native speakers to learn the language. While it is true that Chinese is a difficult language as it does not have anything in common with European languages, it is indeed possible to learn.

What's great about Chinese is that it does not have complex grammar. There are no confusing verb conjugations and you don't have to memorize the feminine and masculine forms of nous as you must with many European languages. However, there are four tones which you must try to learn. Also, while the characters might seem difficult at first there actually is a lot a logic and reason to them. If you have a good eye for memorizing the shape of images you should have no problems learning Chinese characters.
