Paolla - Silk mandarim student

I’m on my way to the end of hsk 2, and I feel very confident about how my Chinese has been improving. The best thing about Silk Mandarin is how flexible they are, when building the best and individual plan that fits into our needs! The teachers and staffs are very kind and helpful. I’ve had classes with 3 different teachers and all of them are very professional, matched our speed but at the same time, influences us to practice the more we can. The platform is easy to use, no issues at all, I’ve been loving the experience.

Pros
  • Having your on individual plan
  • Flexible schedule
  • Able to study from anywhere
Cons
  • Can’t be in a in person class

Silk Mandarin Experience

Before finding Silk Mandarin, my learning lacked structure, and I never knew what to study next. I decided to look online for good Chinese schools based in China, which is how I found them on Google.
Since joining, my Chinese has improved a lot! Their learning materials for both listening and writing are great. The lessons are perfectly paced and easy for anyone to follow. What surprised me most was their Slow Motion Technique, I really like it, and it has made a massive difference in my journey. On top of that, the staff are all incredibly kind, amazing at their jobs, and truly know what they are doing. Highly recommended!

Exactly what I was searching for

I just completed my HSK 3 Intensive 20 Mandarin course here and highly recommend it. I appreciated how the course is structured—the offline preparation perfectly supports and builds up to the in-class activities. Learning in a group is also lots of fun as you find like minded students interested in improving their mandarin. The online platform is intuitive and user-friendly. A huge thank you to my amazing teacher, Jane, whose guidance made the intermediate material engaging and clear. Liked the course so much I decided to enroll my daughter for the in person camp during the summer.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Always hesitant to speak in Mandarin but found the confidence to do so more , during the course.
Pros
  • All the support you need to progress
Cons
  • Be prepared to do the homework if you really want to be prepared for the next day's class , and want to progress!

Highly Recommend

I started learning Mandarin with no previous experience, and joining Silk Mandarin has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.
The 1:1 online lessons are engaging, well structured, and tailored to my learning pace.

What I appreciate most about Silk Mandarin is the combination of high-quality teaching and flexibility. The course fits easily into my schedule, and I’ve been very happy with the progress I’ve made so far. I would definitely recommend Silk Mandarin to anyone interested in learning Chinese.

Great experience

I’ve signed up for the 1:1 classes that are done online and it’s been absolutely amazing.
I had zero prior experience in Mandarin and I have to say I’m impressed with the results but also with the process.
I have access to an online platform to prepare for my classes and do some work to revise what I’ve previously learned. That helps me get the most out of my 1:1 time with my teacher. She’s great at focusing with me on the areas where I need extra help but also provides amazing insights into Chinese daily life and culture. I really couldn’t ask for a better course, especially because Silk Mandarin is flexible enough to work around my schedule. I couldn’t recommend them more.

Silk Mandarin Recommendation

I've been using Silk Mandarin for a few months now, and it has improved my Mandarin very efficiently. I was self-learning for a couple of years off and on, and it felt like language learning was taking forever. When I started my classes with Teacher YanQin, she helped me in areas I struggled with, such as Pronunciation, and I noticed I improved very quickly. If you're serious about learning Mandarin, Silk Mandarin is the program I would recommend. I am almost 25, and I wish I had started this program much younger!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you're serious about learning Mandarin, start this program as soon as possible!

Steady Progress with Silk Mandarin

I’ve been studying at Silk Mandarin for over 6 months now, currently taking the HSK 4 course with my teacher, Sisi.

Before joining Silk Mandarin, my Mandarin learning felt quite unstructured. I had reached around an HSK 3 level, but I wasn’t making consistent progress anymore. I think the main issue was the lack of a clear system and progression in my previous learning approach, which made it harder to build on what I already knew.

I initially chose Silk Mandarin after reading reviews online, and it turned out to be a good decision. The lessons are well-structured and paced according to my level, which has helped me regain a sense of direction in my learning. I now feel like I’m making steady and sustainable progress again.

Sisi has been very supportive and patient as a teacher. The classes focus on all key areas: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The content is practical and relevant. I appreciate that the lessons are interactive rather than just textbook-based.

One thing that stood out to me is how the review sessions are conducted. For example, we revisit new vocabulary by describing words and trying to guess them, which makes the process more engaging and helps reinforce memory. I also find the essay homework useful; for e.g. being asked to write short paragraphs using new vocabulary really helps consolidate what I’ve learned.

Overall, I’ve been enjoying the learning experience and feel more confident continuing my Mandarin journey. I plan to keep taking lessons and work towards my language goals.
