There is really no "1 Chinese language". Different parts of China speak different forms of it, and even different individuals speak a different version. 

So why "1 Chinese Language"? 

You see, modern technologies have speeded up the frequency of knowledge exchange and we see more and more Chinese learning resources appear on the Internet that keep raising the bar, but it just occured to us that there was no clear, systemized, step-by-step framework that can lead a person from knowing next to nothing about Chinese to picking up speed and being able to study on her own. 

What's more, as professional language instructors, we've noticed a recurring pattern from our students... Many of them hastily started learning Chinese without a basic understanding of the language itself.

We hope to build "1 Chinese Language" as a "common ground" for all Chinese learners, regardless of the reason you're learning the language for, and we also hope to equip you with everything you need to know before you delve into the sea of Chinese learning resources. 

Enjoy the process of learning Chinese!
