Silk Mandarin's Online Chinese Course

The 1-on-1 online lessons allowed for personalized learning and allowed me to fit lessons around my work schedule. I have lived in China for several years and wanted to improve my Mandarin skills. Silk Mandarin offered what I needed to suit my learning style. They provided a very good framework, PPTS and additional videos/handouts. All the resources they offer are very clear and easy to follow. The lessons build on previous knowledge and key words learnt for homework, which helps it flow smoothly, building effectively on vocabulary and grammar. The teachers are friendly and helpful and are great at explaining the grammar and vocab. My teacher is able to tailor lessons to target my specific skills and adapting the content to my proficiency level and speed. The interactive exercises and real-life conversation practice has greatly enhanced my learning.

I would recommend Silk Mandarin for anyone of any level wanting to learn and practice.

After looking for several schools in SH i decided to go for SilkMandarin, first i had a session with Coco who explained me all the content of the course and the different modalities, then i started the HSK1 with Jane, at this point i never had any contact with the chinese language, so the first classes were very cool and interesting with Jane, i think 4 clases just concentrating on pronuntiation and hearing the tones 😂which in chinese is the difficult part for me, what i really liked is that Jane saw which words or tones we were speaking wrong and knew which mistakes we do so that we can focus on that. She is very patient so for us with zero knowledge is a great start also to get confident speaking in chinese. I almost finish hsk1 now but definitely will enroll for the level 2 - with Jane of course 😉
If you want to learn chinese in a fun way - definitely go for silk mandarin 😎

My first time experience with Silk Mandarin was great. I was concerned about the online platform and it's effectiveness, but my concerns were quickly eliminated. The platform provided all the necessary resources to help me to learn. The teacher was very knowledgeable and helpful, there was strong administrative support, and the classes were flexible to suit my schedule. All that was left up to me was to commit to attending the classes, doing assignments, and practising. I would recommend to anyone serious about learning Mandarin.

I was excited to have lessons in this school, even if I live in France, the lessons of SilkMandarin was pretty good, in a few months I learned how to say so many things that was really important when I was in China. My teacher was really good and prepared every lesson.Silk Mandarin was a good choice to learn Chinese, I have access to so many things like, lessons pre recorded, books, grammar, and expressions in real life. Even if I need to take the lessons in videocall, every class was important and I will recommend SilkMandarin

My love for Mandarin started at the end of 2022, when one of my colleagues introduced me to the marvellous world of Chinese drama, which I started watching endlessly. I very soon decided to also take up a one-on-one Mandarin course. To my disappointment the method used in class was not engaging enough, too reliant on the textbook, and the teacher would speak English to explain the rules as I was a beginner. Since I was not fully satisfied, I started searching online for alternatives. Luckily enough, I came across Silk Mandarin Instagram page and checked out some reels and content that they had shared. I found it very appealing, as they would explain everyday language in an easy and fun way, all accompanied by short slides showing Chinese characters, pīnyīn and an English translation of each phrase/sentence. I was intrigued, so I contacted the school and had a quick call with one of the PRs to preliminary assess my Chinese level. Soon thereafter, I had a demo class and was introduced to my awesome teacher, 思思. During the demo, I noticed that 思思 was well prepared, and I was positively impressed by the “Slow Motion Technique” as it quickly gave me a clear idea of how Chinese sentences are constructed. I thus decided to enrol in a one-on-one online course. I started in July 2023 with HSK 2, and now, in August 2024, we are almost halfway through HSK 4 上. I think 思思 is a great teacher as she is totally adaptable to my needs. Additionally, while she gave me space to use English to communicate, since day one she would use Mandarin to speak to me, and switch to English only if she noticed that I was really struggling to understand her. I also appreciate that she always sets the bar a little higher for me to challenge myself and improve my level, but not too high to lose confidence in my abilities. Finally, we always have a lot of fun learning new aspects of China and its culture. Silk Mandarin provides very useful slides together with the textbook with extra examples that set each new word in context, which helps a lot with the learning process without becoming boring. I highly recommend embarking on this learning journey with Silk Mandarin; everyone is committed to helping students succeed by offering high-level professionalism and engaging methods to make you feel at ease and progress fast.

It was a great choice to face the challenge learning Chinese with Silk Mandarin. In HSK1 I learned the basics, which help me a lot in my daily life. This made it possible for me to settle into my new life in Shanghai as quickly as possible. The lessons are well structured and are supplemented by learning videos. Hannah is a wonderful and patient teacher. In addition to classes, various events are offered where you can socialize with others who have the same goal of learning Chinese. This includes everything from sporting to cultural excursions.
