Fix Your Mandarin Pronunciation.
Once and for All.

If you’re struggling to sound natural in Mandarin—even if you’ve been studying for a while—it often comes down to pronunciation.

Many learners don’t need more vocabulary or grammar.

What do they need?

A clear, structured way to fix the foundational elements that native speakers actually notice when you speak.

That’s where this 3-pack comes in.

Inside this bundle, you'll get three complete 30-day programs, each focused on one core area of Mandarin pronunciation:

1. The Tones Challenge

Learn how to actually hear and produce the tones correctly—especially in context, where most learners struggle.

2. The Initials Challenge

Frequently Asked Questions

What level is the challenge for?

No matter your level, if you're struggling with pronunciation, this challenge is for you. If you're a beginner, you'll get started off on the right foot with pronunciation. If you're further along, you'll be able to identify and fix your existing issues.

How can I access the challenge?

Mobile, desktop, laptop, tablet... The challenge is super user-friendly and you'll be able to log on from anywhere!

What exactly will I learn? How will these challenges help me?

Each of the three challenges in this bundle focuses on one key area of Mandarin pronunciation: tones, initials, and finals. Together, they give you a complete system for training your ear, retraining your mouth, and fixing the pronunciation issues that hold most learners back.

In the Tones Challenge, you’ll:

● Learn to actually hear the tones—clearly and consistently

● Practice saying tones in real context, not just in isolation

● Train your brain and mouth to produce them accurately and automatically

In the Initials Challenge, you’ll:

● Master tricky sounds like zh, ch, sh, q, x, and j

● Learn exactly how to shape your mouth and position your tongue

● Eliminate mumbling and confusion between similar sounds

In the Finals Challenge, you’ll:

● Get a deep dive into Mandarin vowels, medials, diphthongs, and nasal codas

● Learn to produce clear, natural-sounding ü, i, a, e, o, u sounds

● Build muscle memory through repetition and imitation drills

Throughout all three challenges, you’ll do targeted listening and speaking drills that help the correct sounds become second nature. You’ll come away with a sharper ear, clearer pronunciation, and a solid foundation for sounding more like a native speaker.

What's so special about this method anyway?

 

Most Mandarin learners hit a plateau in pronunciation—not because they’re lazy or bad at languages, but because they never had a proper system for fixing foundational issues.

That’s where this 3-pack comes in.

Each challenge is designed to help you overcome the three biggest pronunciation barriers:

● You can’t hear the difference between certain sounds

● You don’t quite know how to physically make the correct sound

● You haven’t built the muscle memory to say it naturally

These challenges fix that through:

● Clear explanations of what’s going wrong and why

● Daily drills that build automaticity through repetition

● Ear training and mouth training that work together

It’s not magic—it’s just a proven system. Stick with it, and by the end of the 30 days for each challenge, your pronunciation will be noticeably clearer and more natural. You’ll sound better, feel more confident, and get fewer confused looks from native speakers.

I'm not sure I can commit for 30 days

Your daily tasks should only take 30 minutes—sometimes less. The principle of the challenges is, "do a little each day—consistently—and big results will follow." 30 minutes is a pretty manageable amount of time to devote to your Chinese.

You can break it up into 5 minute chunks throughout the day:
• 5 minutes after breakfast
• 5 minutes on your lunch break
• 5 minutes before dinner
• 5 minutes while waiting for the bus...whenever is convenient for you!

The secret sauce is the consistency - working at it for a little bit of time every day. You'll be amazed at the massive progress you make from simply showing up every day to give focused attention to one aspect of your Chinese!

What if I decide the pack isn't for me?

All of our products come with a 30-day money back guarantee. If you are unsatisfied with it for any reason, reach out to me at any point during the 30 days and I'll issue you a full refund.

How long do I have access to the course after the end of the challenge?

How does "lifetime access" sound? While the challenge is 30 days, we know that life gets in the way sometimes. So, you will have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like.

What exactly does "lifetime access" mean?

In practical terms, it means the course materials will be available online for as long as Outlier is in business. If we do ever go out of business or otherwise need to remove the course for any reason, we'll make the material available for you to download for a period of at least 6 months.
