Five years ago, Jackie came up to me and wanted to learn Mandarin FAST.
He was in a hurry because his father was just diagnosed with cancer.
"My father is dying. And I can barely speak to him.”
As time slipped away, Jackie faced the truth that changed everything.
It wasn't just about basic communication…
It was about FINALLY connecting with his father before time runs out…
It was about his identity and honoring family roots…
And no more feeling left out and being truly present.
This reminded me of a quote from Andrew Garfield.
When he lost his mother, he described what grief was, beautifully:
“This is all the unexpressed love, the grief that will remain with us until we pass because we never get enough time with each other, no matter if someone lives till 60, 15, or 99.”
It’s everything that matters when you realize someone you love will soon be gone forever.
And before joining our Mandarin learning program, Jackie already tried language learning apps like Pimsleur…
You see, most of the traditional Mandarin learning methods are designed for English speakers starting from absolute zero…
Not for Cantonese speakers who already have a foundation but need a bridge.
(Yes, you already have a solid foundation to learn Mandarin at speed.)
And that’s where we do things differently in our Canto to Mando Blueprint program.
Instead of forcing you to start from scratch, we show you how to literally “copy” what you already know in Cantonese and “paste” it into Mandarin.
Using systematic “mistake” patterns.
For example, when you know how to change word-final sounds like "-k" in Cantonese to their Mandarin equivalents, suddenly thousands of words become instantly recognizable.
When you understand how Cantonese tones map to Mandarin tones following predictable rules, pronunciation becomes intuitive rather than memorized.
Traditional programs completely ignore these connections…
They treat you like someone who's never heard a Chinese word in your life - wasting weeks on basics you already understand.
Basically, these programs are designed for English speakers, not for YOU.
So, when Jackie joined our Mandarin learning program, he got what he wanted.
By applying the same Copy and Paste method you will see inside the Canto to Mando Blueprint Program, Jackie improved his Mandarin within weeks instead of months.
He was FINALLY able to talk to his dad, heart-to-heart.
AND, his Cantonese also improved from what he called “30%” to “70%” fluency.
In other words, Jackie didn’t just accomplish his main goal when he joined our program i.e. to finally be able to connect with his father and his heritage.
His new-found confidence in Mandarin and in Cantonese allowed him to connect with more Chinese people.
That connection - that bridge between worlds - is what this is all about.
I'm sharing Jackie's story because I suspect you might feel what he felt.
That disconnects from your heritage…
That disconnect from your own people……
The feeling of being left behind as your community shifts toward speaking more Mandarin. As Mandarin becomes more popular and dominant in the workspace.
If you're like Jackie ( like I was), traditional language programs will always feel frustratingly slow because they weren't built for us.
So, if you’re like Jackie, who knows how important it is to learn Mandarin, how important it is to get to know your family more intimately...
And how important it is to learn a language that’s becoming mainstream due to the global economy…
