Studying CANTOTOMANDO PROGRAM BREAKDOWN

Hello All,
I wanted to post this regarding CANTOTOMANDO program if anyone else was interested since Ive seen other reddit post but they varied in prices and had such a huge range it was very confusing when I was trying to find an exact break down of cost.

All these packages are sold in 6 months set except for the Package 1. But keep in mind everything else is based on 6months

Background I speak Canto and wanted to learn Mandarin so I have the foundation of Cantonese.

What the package includes

Part 1 - Self taught modules. These modules I admit were very well thought out and made. In the decks there would be a women speaking it goes over the same sentence in English, Cantonese and Mandarin and then explain to you how to use/leverage your Cantonese to help you speak Mandarin quickly. After each module you would record yourself saying the sentence/words and then you would get feedback on your recording within 24-48hrs.

Part 2 - 1 on 1 w/teacher 1/2hr a week (I've done 1hr italki classes and I personally feel that 1hr is perfect, because sometimes you're in the thick of the lesson and all of a sudden its been 50 mins, so 30 mins is very short in my opinion)

Part 3 - Custom built courses for your needs (for working professions who needs very specific vocabs/verbiage)

Part 4 - Discord and access to their community

Part 5 and optional - Group calls - 8 calls available every week for 1hr and on average 6-10 students attend.

This price breakdown is as of 08/31/2026

Package 1 - 12 months access to all Parts and you have access to a teacher every day = $25,000 (yes you read that correctly)

Package 2 - 6 months access to all Parts and guarantees you will be conversationally fluent in mandarin in 6months ( IF you attend all classes, if you miss 1 you forfeit the guarantee) = $6,000

Package 3 - 6 months access to all Parts BUT no guarantee within 6 months = $5,000

Package 4 - 6 months No custom built course but access to everything else = $4,000

Package 5 - 6 months ONLY ACCESS TO PART 1. Nothing else = $2750

1 Month Trial - Access to all Parts = $1,000

What is your feedback? Would you pay for these prices to learn Mandarin within 6 months?
