This week, a fluffy bunny will be transformed into a scaly legendary beast, as the Year of the Rabbit (兔年, tùnián) turns into the Year of the Dragon (龙年, lóngnián) on February 10th, the Chinese New Year, Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival. This is the most significant celebration of the year, not just in the Chinese-speaking world, but in many other places across East Asia too.
To celebrate the Year of the Dragon, there’s a time-limited special offer for two of my video courses to help you learn Mandarin. You’ll get $20 off by entering the discount code “long2nian2” in the cart at checkout!
This discount is valid for the below courses and expires on midnight Sunday, February 11.
- Unlocking Chinese: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners – This course will kickstart your learning, teaching you the basics of speaking, listening, writing and reading, along with key strategies for how to learn characters, tones and much more. Perfect for people who just started or have been studying for a while but struggle to find a way forward! Intermediate and advanced learners should check out A Practical Guide to Learning Mandarin.
- Hacking Chinese: A Practical Guide to Learning Mandarin – This course upgrades how you learn Mandarin and is aimed at learners of all levels. It covers all aspects of learning Chinese but focuses exclusively on how to learn. Perfect for those who have been learning for some time and feel stuck or don’t know what they’re doing wrong. If you’re a beginner, you should get Unlocking Chinese first!
If you’re interested in my third course, Hacking Chinese Pronunciation: Speaking with Confidence, it will open for registration again on February 19th, so the Lunar New Year discount does not cover it.
If you want to receive notifications specific to the pronunciation course, you can sign up for that here.
新年快乐/新年快樂!
Xīnnián kuàilè!
Happy New Year!
