The SayMei practice shelf
Five complete workbooks, written and typeset here. Each one prints cleanly on Letter or A4, ends with an answer key, and links to a free audio companion.
No signup. No email form. Every pack has searchable text, a separate answer section, and white, low-ink pages with comfortable writing space.
Two openings, depending on how much Mandarin already comes out of your mouth.
