Chinese Thinking System 2.0
Share
Stop memorizing words — start thinking in Chinese.
A humane, research-backed pathway that bridges your native language to natural, native-like Chinese. Three complementary camps work together to build phrase sense, expression, and confidence — with real, warm feedback.
🎬 Movie Script Thinking Camp — 1 Week Free Trial
Experience how English movie lines transform into natural, native-like Chinese. Learn why direct translations feel “off,” and collect powerful, ready-to-use phrases. Try it free for one week — no strings attached.

Send “电影试用” and I’ll add you to the group.

How the System Works
We don’t throw you into an all-Chinese deep end. Each camp strengthens a different part of your Chinese thinking — and together, they form a complete loop of input → output → feedback.
Input — Movie Script Thinking Camp
Short, powerful scenes from classic English-language films. See why direct translations sound “off,” then switch to how Chinese really says it — with multiple natural options and cultural reasoning. Build your personal phrase bank.
Output — Speaking Companion Camp
Weekly speaking routine (shadowing, retelling, life topics) with one detailed video feedback. Gentle pacing, clear corrections, and native-like alternatives — so you can speak with clarity and confidence.
Output — Writing Companion Camp
Weekly idiom-inspired mini-stories. Model → draft → in-depth feedback. Shape thoughts directly in Chinese, refine style, and collect a portfolio you’re proud of.

You prefer humane pacing
Short, doable tasks. Weekly feedback. No daily grind — just consistent progress you can feel.
You value warm feedback
Corrections + alternatives, explained. You feel seen, not judged — and grow faster because of it.

FAQ
Can I start with English and still “think in Chinese”?
Yes. We use English-language movie scripts as a bridge and show how Chinese actually phrases the same idea. Lower cognitive load → faster “noticing” → lasting change.
Which camp should I begin with?
Movie Script is the most welcoming on-ramp (fun, fast wins). If you want output & feedback, add Speaking or Writing — whichever suits your goals.
What level do I need?
HSK4 and up is ideal. Tasks and feedback are level-aware, from lighter scaffolding (HSK4) to deeper stylistic guidance (HSK6+).
Where do I pay and access everything?
All tiers and camps live on one Patreon membership page. Click “Join on Patreon,” pick your tier, and you’re in.
