Learn Chinese faster & smarter with the Bamboo Mandarin Method -
the ultimate, most time-efficient system to go from zero to fluency.
You’d like to speak Mandarin Chinese, right?
🤗 Maybe you want to connect with your Chinese heritage or loved ones.
🌏 Maybe you know that Mandarin is the second biggest language in the world after English with over 1.1 billion speakers, opening up thousands of opportunities for connection, adventure, and career - so you want to learn it for more practical reasons.
💁🏻♀️ Or maybe you just want to know some simple phrases to impress your partner’s parents!
Whatever your motivation to learn, it's easy to think that learning Mandarin is overwhelming and impossibly hard - or just feel completely lost as to where to even begin.
And I get it - because that is exactly where I was 4 years ago.
Oh and - 你好 nǐhǎo! 👋 My name is Izzy.
I'm a doctor and YouTuber - and on the side I've been learning Mandarin for the last 4 years.
I'm half-Chinese by blood, but having lived in England and Australia for my whole life, at at age 23 I still could hardly say a single word in Mandarin Chinese.
All my life I'd dreamed of one day reconnecting with that part of my heritage through learning the language. This video really hits me hard.
So back in 2020, I found myself where you might be right now...
trying to learn Mandarin but unsure how.
I desperately wanted to learn, so I tried...
- Every single app I could find on the app store for learning Mandarin.
- Dozens of tutored lessons - both online and in-person.
- Heavily taught classroom-style courses.
- Dabbling with any random Chinese content I could get my paws on.
But I had no learning strategy, no understanding of where I was in the wider learning journey, and so I had no choice but to be a passive learner with little to no say over what or how I was learning - and it seriously showed.
Even after months of learning, I was still totally unable to speak a full sentence in Mandarin beyond the "ni hao" basics. I wasn’t making any meaningful progress and I was wasting time spinning my wheels.
I started to feel stuck and hopeless. I considered throwing in the towel. I wondered if I was simply "bad" at this.
But then I had a realisation. At the time I was still a university student, and I approached my academic, medical studies in a totally different way:
I applied an evidence-based, structured strategy and took 100% full responsibility for my own learning.
There was no reliance on a teacher or an app to push me and teach me - instead I was an active agent in my own success.
And I could do the same for Mandarin.
So I embarked on a journey to answer the question:
What is the best, most effective way to learn Mandarin? 🧐
What would it look like if I approached this as an adult learner who’s taking the reigns and full responsibility for my own learning?
And in the course of answering this question I found the incredible power of becoming an active learner through teaching yourself.
Get the Method 👉Here's what I did on my search for solutions:
👀 I re-approached Chinese learning with fresh eyes, looking for any possible way to be strategic, systematic and methodical.
⏳ I spent over 100 hours researching the best Mandarin learning methods.
📝 I discovered a whole wealth of scientific literature in the fields of psychology and neuroscience on evidence-based language learning theory and memory techniques.
📚 I read books by experts in the field of language acquisition.
㊫ I learned about dozens of effective strategies and approaches for learning Mandarin Chinese and navigating its unique challenges.
🧪 And since then, I’ve spent over a thousand hours learning Mandarin and personally experimenting with hundreds of different learning resources and techniques.
Start Learning Today 👉With newfound answers to this fundamental question, 👉 I began applying these methods to learn Chinese alongside my medical school studies. And...
🚀 My Mandarin Chinese progress skyrocketed.
📆 I could precisely plan and track my progress.
🎯 I selected my own learning priorities and goals, rather than following someone else's.
🙊 In 1 month I was able to have basic conversations with my language exchange partner.
✅ In 6 months my proficiency went from HSK 1 (beginner) to HSK 4 (intermediate), and I passed my HSK 4 exam with 99%.
And I've continued to apply this very method to learn Chinese part-time alongside my job as a doctor and YouTuber.
