Stop guessing your way through Mandarin tones!
Learn the six missing principles that help you hear tones in real speech, produce them with more control, and build the foundation to speak Mandarin clearly and confidently.
Are you ready to start your tone breakthrough?
In this 2-day workshop, you’ll go from feeling stuck and aimlessly memorizing tone charts to finally understanding why tones feel so hard — and experience that ‘aha!’ moment that gives you the clarity and method to start hearing, feeling, and producing tones with confidence — saving you years of frustration.
LET ME GUESS
Does This Sound Familiar?
👉 You know tones in theory; but when you speak or listen at natural speed, they blur, collapse, or disappear.
👉 You’ve already tried every app, YouTube video, and free guide out there, but your tones still don't sound correct.
👉 Maybe you haven't "tried all the other options" yet, but you’re terrified of building bad habits that will take months of painful work to fix later.
👉 You’re secretly convinced you are "tone-deaf" and just don’t have the “natural talent” to ever actually master Chinese tones.
Don't let those beliefs stand in your way!

A NOTE FROM...
Hanyu Jia, Ph.D.
Hi, I'm Dr. Jia (applied linguist). Not only have I spent my career researching how to teach Chinese, I'm also a dedicated language educators with years of experience helping adults master complex language topics.
But you don't have to take my word for it. Here's what my students said about my content and teaching style:
✅“You exposed several new topics that I was not aware of; the pace of the course with just right; your organization and delivery was very good.”
✅"You are so knowledgeable and explained it in a way that I could understand."
✅"Professor Jia is extremely knowledgeable, and also very easy to get ahold of if any questions come up."
✅"Everything is very clear and easy to understand. I never learned these tone knowledge in other Chinese classes."
You do not need more tone drills. You need clarity.
You may know the tone chart. You may have repeated tone pairs. You may even pronounce individual words well.
But when you try to speak a full sentence, do your tones become unclear?
When native speakers talk, do tones blur together?
Do you sometimes worry that Mandarin may simply be too hard for you?
You are not bad at tones. You may simply have never been taught how tones work in real speech.
Without that understanding, you can spend months or years repeating tones, searching for random tips, and losing tones every time they try to speak.
By the end of the training, you will:
Understand why Chinese tones have felt so difficult and what has been holding you back
Discover tone “secrets” that most Mandarin learners never learn
Practice tones with clear, effective techniques you can keep using on your own
Build a "master-level" understanding of how Chinese tones really work, far beyond what most native speakers can explain
Say tones more accurately and avoid embarrassing misunderstandings in social and professional contexts
Leave with a strong foundation and a clear path to mastering one of the most challenging parts of Mandarin learning: tones

Will a replay be available if I can't attend live?
Yes, the session will be recorded and sent via email, and you will have lifetime access. That said, joining live is highly recommended.
Who is this session designed for?
This workshop is designed for beginner- and Intermediate-level learners who are tired of the "repetition loop." It is perfect for those who are frequently misunderstood or forced to repeat themselves because of inaccurate tones. If you are just starting, this will give you the strong foundation needed to avoid bad pronunciation habits; if you are more advanced, it will provide the tone clarity you need to stop being "the student who has to repeat everything" and start being the person who is understood the first time.
How is this different from just practicing with an app or a tutor?
Most teachers simply ask you to "listen and repeat" or show you a tone chart. As a PhD in Applied Linguistics with years of research and teaching experience, I don't just teach you to mimic. I help you to hear and produce tones in "3 dimensions", which most online Chinese instructors aren't even aware of. This isn't just "practice"; it’s a scientific shortcut to tone clarity.
