Mandarin Grammar Practice Tool
Use the Mandarin Grammar Wheel to drill aspect markers, measure words, negation, and high-frequency sentence patterns.
About the author
Luke McLaughlin created Constructing Language after living in Japan and later learning Mandarin Chinese from scratch. The lessons, games, and guides are built from that first-hand learner experience and checked against native-speaker course work with Hiro for Japanese and Xiang for Mandarin Chinese.
- Lived in Japan and studied Japanese through immersion and structured self-study.
- Learned Mandarin Chinese from scratch as an adult learner.
- Created the Construction Method: audio-first sentence building, grammar graphics, and active recall.
- Built Japanese course material with Hiro and Mandarin course material with Xiang, both native-speaker collaborators.
What the tool trains
The Mandarin Grammar Wheel gives learners repeated recall practice for the grammar markers that make Chinese sentences precise.
