The most important lesson I've learned about speaking Mandarin is this:

The more I speak, the more I am allowed to speak.

When I started building a daily speaking habit and recording myself speaking every day, something interesting happened.

I didn’t suddenly gain more vocabulary or better tones after the first day.

But I noticed myself speaking MORE Mandarin immediately after recording.

I started thinking in Chinese. I started talking to myself in Chinese.

Why? Because speaking builds momentum.

The more I spoke, the more confident I felt, and the more fun it felt.

The more I spoke, the more I gave myself permission to speak.

Because we give ourselves permission to speak.

See, before I decided to start speaking, speaking was just an idea. It stayed trapped in my head, buried under fear.

I was holding myself back. I was wrapped up in my thoughts.

I was witholding permission to speak unconciously.

Everything changed once I realized this.

You can give yourself permission to speak too.

But the first step to building a habit is always the hardest.

That’s why I created the Copy Paste Speak Course to help give you a structured approach to start building a speaking habit.

It’s the exact 8-step system I used to learn to understand and speak real-life Mandarin by watching videos and practicing at home.

It’s 50% off now (ends in 3 days).

For the next 3 days, I’m also including the Language Learner OS—a digital Notion workspace to organize your Chinese notes and vocabulary—for free.

Reply to this after you enroll and I'll send you the Language Learner OS.
