Mandarin is one of the hardest languages to learn… But, does it have to be? 
Real learning
We believe that stories are how we actually learn.
The Mandarin learning world hasn’t changed in years. Endless flashcards. Random useless phrases. Zero context. No wonder learners feel lost before they feel fluent.

But this wasn’t always the case, before schools and textbooks, we used to learn through stories, myths and tales. Lessons wrapped in moments we could feel and remember.
At Nonsense we believe that stories are how we actually learn. We remember emotions, characters, scenes rather than disconnected out of context words.
Nonsense Builders
World’s first fully story-driven Mandarin course.
So as we launch Mandarin on Nonsense, we want to build the world’s first fully story-driven Mandarin course. A course that brings Chinese language and culture to life through cinema, storytelling and immersion. 
The best part?
We want to build it with you. With the community. With pioneers who care about learning Mandarin the right way, and who want to help create something meaningful for millions of future learners.
