Every paid plan unlocks the same thing: the complete self-study course — scenario lessons (learn Chinese inside real situations like ordering coffee or taking a taxi) and morpheme vocabulary lessons (learn the building blocks that make thousands of words guessable). Payments are handled securely by Paddle, our merchant of record.

What's free — forever

You can learn a lot here without paying anything:

The Word Tree — the full vocabulary explorer, every word, no paywall.
The starter course — the first 6 lessons, completely free.
The Level 3 course — the first 3 lessons, completely free.

The free tier is not a trial and does not expire. It exists so you can judge the teaching quality with real material before spending a single dollar.

Frequently asked questions

When am I charged?

When you subscribe, you're charged immediately for the first period (month or year). After that, the subscription renews automatically at the start of each new period. Lifetime is a single one-time payment — no renewals, ever.

How do I cancel?

Anytime, in two clicks, from the link in your Paddle receipt email — or just email contact@learnchinesewithlan.com and I'll cancel it for you. After cancelling you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. No cancellation fees, no "retention" phone calls.

What's the refund policy?

14 days, no questions asked, full refund — on any plan, including lifetime. Details in the refund policy.

Is there a student discount?

Not yet. The free tier is the current way to pay less. If a student discount launches later, it will be announced on this page.
