Dr. Abshir — Beginner Mandarin course
BeginnerMost Popular
入门汉语

Mandarin From Zero

This is where I start every single student — and most of them tell me later it's the best decision they made.

Pinyin, tones, the most essential 300 words, and your first real conversations. When I arrived in China knowing nothing, I wished I'd had this course. Now you do.

Dr. Abshir — Intermediate Mandarin course
Intermediate
中级汉语

Conversational Mandarin

I designed this course around the exact situations I faced daily in Tianjin — ordering food, navigating bureaucracy, building real friendships.

Build real speaking fluency. We cover daily life, travel, work, and how to hold a genuine conversation without freezing. No more survival Chinese.

高级汉语

HSK 5 & 6 Mastery

This is the course I needed for my PhD application. Academic Mandarin is a different beast — I'll walk you through it exactly as I learned it.

Academic and professional Mandarin. The reading, writing, and vocabulary you need for university in China or a professional career. This is the hard part — let's do it together.

Real people. Real results.

I tried Duolingo for a year and gave up. Dr. Abshir's course clicked in the first week. The way he explains tones — nobody does it like that.

Amina Hassan

Kenya · Passed HSK 3

I came from zero Mandarin to a university acceptance in China in 14 months. Dr. Abshir's admissions help + his courses — it was the full package.

Senegal · Now studying in Wuhan

What I love is that he never makes you feel behind. He speaks directly to you, like a personal tutor, not an algorithm.

F

Fatuma Osei

Ghana · HSK 4 in 10 months

His story is my story. Knowing he started from zero — from our part of the world — and reached a PhD made me believe I could do it too.

Yusuf Maalim

Somalia · Conversational in 6 months

The admissions process felt impossible until Dr. Abshir walked me through it. Three months later I had my acceptance letter.

Chidinma Eze

Nigeria · Accepted to Beijing University

I had some Mandarin already but I was stuck. His intermediate course pushed me through the plateau I'd been at for two years.

Dr. Abshir's Story

He learned it the hard way. So you don't have to.

Growing up in Somalia, Dr. Abshir had no exposure to Mandarin. No classes, no apps, no community speakers. When he arrived in China for university, he started from absolute zero.

Over the next decade, he navigated the language, earned his undergraduate degree, his Master's, and ultimately a PhD in Chinese Language Education from Tianjin University — one of China's most prestigious institutions.

That journey gave him something most Mandarin teachers don't have: he knows exactly what it feels like to be a complete beginner, and exactly what it takes to reach native-level fluency from nothing.

Abshir China is the course he wished existed when he started.
