Too intimidated to start learning Mandarin Chinese?

Not anymore.

The 30x30 Challenge makes Mandarin Chinese manageable. In just 30 minutes per day for 30 days, you'll be able to:


  • Identify 40 common radicals so you can read Chinese characters
  • Recognize all 400+ pinyin syllables so you can refine your pronunciation & type and text in Chinese characters
  • Decipher the 5 Chinese tones so you'll never mistake mā (mother) for mǎ (horse)

What the heck are radicals, tones, and pinyin? So glad you asked.

The 30x30 Guide lays out a daily plan using our trifecta of beginner courses in Transparent Language Online.

A month from now you could still be wishing you'd started. Or you could have conquered the Chinese 30x30 Challenge and be ready for your first Chinese conversation!
