The scorecard is built on a foundation of top-tier linguistic research, combined with real-world feedback from thousands of Chinese learners. It reflects the practical challenges that learners face at various stages of acquiring Mandarin, making the results both relevant and reliable.
In addition, the scorecard was developed by Mandarin Blueprint founders Luke and Phil, who bring years of teaching experience, fluency in Mandarin, and a deep understanding of what truly moves the needle in language acquisition. They’ve tested and refined the categories and benchmarks based on patterns they’ve seen consistently in successful learners.
