Did I..... Did I just really learn my last character with Mandarin Blueprint? I cant imagine there will be another level beyond advanced. Wow. 3,050 characters. I have cried a lot when hitting milestones on this journey of learning Mandarin. Funny how today isn't one of those days. I think I am in shock.
I love that the last character I learned is "to throw dice" because MB was a gamble for me to begin with, I really didn't believe you guys and fought so hard against trying you out in my search for Mandarin teachers. Best gamble of my life. All it cost me was $1.00. At this point in 2021 I did not know any characters at all, although I was struggling my way through the PM course. This has not been an easy journey but it has been a fun one. This past year I have been through some of the worst ups and downs in my life, but from day one I trusted what you guys said, trusted the process, and even on my worst days, days of heart break, physical pain, and loss, I never had a zero day. Not one. I did my card reviews at the very least, and here I am 350days later.
I know 3,050 characters. I am reading whole novels (albeit slowly). Still working on grammar and vocabulary, but making progress. I truly have fallen in love with this language and I know for sure I wouldn't have if it wasn't for the way you guys presented and rolled out this course. Thank you will never be enough for the gift you have given me, I will be going through and learning vocab as you roll it out. At least I am not leaving MB just yet. I test for HSK 6 in June. I don't need it, but I do love having measures for myself. I wish I could express myself to you and how I feel, but I think its just too big for me to put into words. Just from the bottom of my heart thank you. I have said that a lot in comments, but I really truly mean it.

You're very welcome and congratulations to you for this achievement!
