What is Mandarin Blueprint?
Founded by Phil Crimmins and Luke Neal, Mandarin Blueprint is a fully-fleshed video Mandarin course. These two Westerners put their heads together to come up with a radically different method of teaching Mandarin. Together, they developed the Mandarin Blueprint method: recreating how children learn languages to make gaining fluency as easy as possible.
The stars of the programme are the OCLO, or the Optimized Character Learning Order, and the “Hanzi Movie Method.” OCLO is their patent-pending sequence, which aims to teach you characters in the most efficient manner. The “Hanzi Movie” method claims to teach you how to read, write, and pronounce any Chinese character in under a minute.
In our testing, we found Mandarin Blueprint to be the most comprehensive program out there, rating it at 4.5/5 overall.
