Next semester starts September 1st
Sixty days.
One hour a day.
One streak.
A free, community-run challenge to actually stick with Mandarin — hosted in Discord, no bots, just people showing up every day for sixty days straight.
✽ How it works
Three rules. That's it.
One hour a day
Not just "study for a while" — a set daily structure covering study, speaking, listening, and reading, plus a journal entry. Full breakdown is waiting for you in Discord and in the journal.
Show up daily
Sixty days straight. Miss a day, log it honestly, and pick the streak back up the next day.
Check in on Discord
Post your streak daily. Other people doing the same sixty days is the part that actually makes you show up on day 34.
Track it with the 60-Day Journal
FREE— yours once you join the DiscordA printable companion built for exactly this challenge — one page per day, made to track what you're actually learning, not just check a box. It's part of the challenge, not a separate purchase.
→ One page per day, 60 pages total
→ Space for new vocab, character of the day, and what tripped you up
→ A streak tracker to fill in as you go

✽ Questions
Before you jump in
Yes. Joining the Discord, doing the 60-day streak, and the companion journal are all free — the journal is available to download once you're in the Discord.
Once you join the Discord, you'll get the full daily breakdown along with the journal — no need to figure it out yourself.
Life happens — the point is building the habit, not punishing yourself. Log it honestly, pick the streak back up the next day, and keep going.
No — the challenge works at any level. What matters is the daily hour and showing up, not where you're starting from.
Sixty days from now, you'll wish you'd started today.
