We prepare you for your first high-stakes conversation in Mandarin
Using the SaySomethingin Method (read on for our impossible-to-fake proof).
Conversations in a new language aren’t easy.
They’re high pressure.
That’s why so many people try to avoid them (which doesn’t help).
But we know all about dealing with high-pressure situations.
Imagine your first conversation being filmed
When TV presenter Carol Vorderman and actress and writer Ruth Jones needed to prepare for 4 days of Welsh television filming – where every highlight (and every lowlight!) would be broadcast to the nation – they used our method.
Carol was so transformed by the experience she reconnected with people from her childhood. Ruth now speaks Welsh whenever she gets the chance.
That’s the power of preparation that lets you perform under real pressure.
‘It’s not unusual’ for us to be mentioned on radio or TV
Ruth and Kiri found out on air that they were both using our approach – and then they remembered they’re not allowed to advertise on the BBC!
Governments trust us to help rescue endangered languages
The Welsh Government chose us as an official supplier for adult learners – not because we’re the biggest, but because they know what’s at stake when a language is endangered.
Welsh Government provides our method to all adult learners in Wales
Join 70,000+ people who’ve reclaimed a language with SaySomethingin.
They wouldn’t use us if we didn’t get results.
When the conversation can't wait
We specialise in helping people who are facing high stakes, real world performance moments – where failure is public and success is transformative.
But what we do works just as well if you’re not facing a deadline.
Whether you go flat out for 30 days, or work steadily for a year, you will end up having confident conversations in Mandarin with our approach.
Our method is built for pressure, not for hobby learning.
Maybe there’s someone you want to talk to in Mandarin for the first time.
Perhaps you want to show respect to the locals when you’re on holiday (and be a more welcomed guest!).
Maybe Mandarin will open doors for you professionally.
All those situations put you under pressure – to express yourself quickly and clearly, to understand what is said to you.
You can’t prepare for real life by learning lists and studying grammar rules.
That’s just not how it works.
The vital ingredient – speaking confidently
When you’re under pressure – whether that’s television cameras in your face or the live audience of your own family – it’s no use relying on grammar rules or word lists to build what you want to say.
You need to be able to speak easily and quickly, with real confidence – and that means you need to AUTOMATE the core language patterns you’re going to use.
This is what language apps get wrong.
They teach you the content of a language, the rules, the vocabulary. But they don’t – they CAN’T – prepare you to speak quickly and confidently in a high pressure, emotional situation.
That’s our expertise.
We map out and automate the most important elements of the Mandarin language for you, so you’ll be able to say long sentences with startling confidence.
Because we know what an incredible difference it makes – to you and to your family or friends or co-workers – when you can communicate with them from the heart, without having to stop and think, without mumbling or getting stuck or feeling embarrassed.

“Welsh was my father’s language, but I grew up speaking English. Learning enough Welsh to be able to have a conversation with my father before he died was one of the most important moments of my life.”
