According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the Year of the Tiger (虎年, hǔnián) will soon be over, and the Year of the Rabbit (兔年, tùnián) will begin. This year, New Year’s Eve (除夕, chúxī), falls on January 21st, which is this Saturday! Spring Festival (春节/春節, chūnjié), as the celebrations are also called, has a special significance all across East Asia, and is by far the most important event in the Chinese calendar.
To celebrate the Lunar New Year, there’s a time-limited special offer for my video courses to help you learn Mandarin. You’ll get $10 off by entering the discount code “tu4nian2” in the cart at checkout! This discount is valid for the below courses and expires on midnight Sunday, January 22nd.

Hacking Chinese: A Practical Guide to Learning Mandarin – This course upgrades the way you learn Mandarin and is aimed at learners of all levels. It covers all aspects of learning Chinese, but focuses exclusively on how to learn.

If you’re interested in my third course, Hacking Chinese Pronunciation: Speaking with Confidence, that one will open for registration again on February 20th, so it’s not covered by the Lunar New Year discount.
