Living in China didn't help her, but changing her learning methods did

The way you have been learning Chinese might've been... A lie... …or at least that’s pretty likely considering how most language learning platforms have been sustaining their profit in the past. Consider this: You may have already tried to learn or thought about learning Chinese but had a hard time staying committed because you weren’t seeing consistent results. It’s not your fault! The typical teaching methods for any language leave too much space for lost information. In other words, You have a class, you learn a few new things, and then wait maybe a week or half a week for the next class, In the meantime you have forgotten a lot of what you learned last time, you need to relearn it. So you end up taking longer to master that language, and hence spend more money to keep paying for classes or apps for longer. Sounds like a lose-lose situation, right? What if there was a different way to approach language learning? Especially with a language like Chinese, the proper and most effective teaching methods are necessary. As a result, you’ll save both time and money, overcoming most language learners’ biggest obstacle: the forgetting curve. It looks like this:
So what can you do? Use 2 powerful, science-based tools:
Got it? Steffi had been living in China for 5 years... And she thought she was doing alright (but could only say basic sentences)... Then we helped her learn effectively... How the human brain learns best: She completely changed her way of learning, and can now joke with her colleagues and have nice dates out in China. after just 5 months. Watch her transformation here on Youtube now (or save it for later). Get inspired, because fluency is possible. To your fluency, Zhifei |

This is a slightly different email. Because we're about to step through a door. A door that many people have stepped through in the past. But even though many have been through this experience... it's still so... Uncertain. A tiny human will emerge into this world when passing through this door. It feels like a completely different reality Surreal. Scary? For sure. I need to keep reminding myself that billions of people have been through this before. And almost all of them survived and did...
The downfall of Chinese learners, and why it's like being overweight (which I've been) 2-minute read: You're somewhere in this process: Step 1. Get curious about Chinese Step 2: Learn a few words Step 3: realize putting many words into a sentence and speaking comfortably isn't a walk in the park Step 4: Either: A) Give up/learn inconsistently for 10-20 years B) Immerse yourself intensely to become fluent in 1-3 years (not necessarily in China, just having a system for consistent progress is...
I spoke with a British guy this morning who wanted to speak Chinese fluently. Cool goal, but... There was 1 massive problem. (He wasn't aware of it himself) He thought he could reach fluency just by talking with ChatGPT and watching YouTube vids. (It wasn't even his strategy that was wrong though) YouTube and ChatGPT are ok tools for language learning. The biggest issue was that his expectations were completely messed up. I meet soooo many people who think they can become fluent in Chinese...
