"Hack Chinese" Founder Daniel Nalesnik on How to Master Mandarin & Find the Fun in Language Learning

From full-time Mandarin immersion at Peking University and Shanghai's Fudan University to years of independent study online, Daniel Nalesnik has spent the last 13+ years on a mission to figure out the most fun and effective way to learn Mandarin Chinese.   The result? The creation of Hack Chinese, a powerful spaced repetition tool designed from the ground up just for Mandarin learners, unlike generic SRS apps that struggle to properly handle Chinese characters, tones, etc.   In our conversation, Daniel shares the lessons he's learned, what he would do differently if he started from scratch, and how new language learners can get started.   🇨🇳 Learn Chinese Anywhere!   Want to learn Mandarin Chinese through at-home immersion instead of boring textbooks or expensive classes? My detailed how-to manual and resource guide, Master Mandarin: How to Learn Mandarin Chinese Anywhere in the World, will show you exactly how. 👉🏼 Learn more at ChineseMastery.com.
