Unforgettable experience.

Learning with motivational teacher affect a lot , this is what helped me more, she was so patient, kind, cleaver, like her job. The right person In the right place. In addition, I have application that helped me to practice more whenever I want. The applications include videos and games to have fun while you are learning chinese. In silk mandarin they are Making the hardest language so easy to learn. The most important thing that was is the quiz that we had every week. It makes you sure that you really understand everything and if not so you can go over it again and again. In my course I got book and notebook online so I can practice also and understand more.

Great training experience and personalized support

Silk Mandarin is providing a very good training experience, with various physical and online material. The team is dedicated to providing a personalized accompaniment and is very flexible to support individual planning constraints (training can be performed on site or online). Many experiences are also available to join the Silk community, learn more about Chinese culture and diversify overall the learning activities.

Regular follow up is also proposed to assess the current experience and improve it.

Pros
  • Personalized support
  • Training quality

Excellent value

I signed up for classes with Silk Mandarin a couple of months before moving to China. I already knew a little bit of Chinese back then, but not enough to start an HSK2 course. Instead of making me start over, Silk Mandarin arranged for a series of one-on-one remote lessons for me to catch up, and I am very happy with the results. Teacher Hannah made sure that we made good use of every single minute in our 1.5h sessions, and my speaking ability improved significantly after just a few meetings. The learning material and homework assignments were very useful too. Now I'm looking forward to my HSK2 class with Silk Mandarin!

The Student is at the Center

Due to busy work and logistics, I opted for the Online Chinese Course with Silk Mandarin. I love the support the teachers give you and the extra material you get on the Silk Mandarin website to keep practicing chinese after class and keep track of your progress.

The teachers I've met so far have always been available for clarifications, through e-mails or messages, also after class and more than willing to search and share extra material to help me improve.

The school also plans social events with the other students that allows you to meet people while diving into topics of chinese culture. Love it!

Pros
  • flexibility
  • good website with extra (good) material

Silk Mandarin Experience

I began learning with Silk Mandarin in July of 2022. I had been living and working in China for around 5 years, but had just been using apps to self study. After reaching a level slightly above HSK3, I found it very difficult to improve with self-study.

Taking the HSK4 course with my teacher, Jessica, I found that my reading, speaking, and listening abilities all improved quickly. Jessica was able to quickly identify my language level and then target learning needs within my zone of proximity to challenge me in ways that would push me to learn, while simultaiously maintaining my engagement and boosting my confidence.

My learning experience was done virtually, but I found the application and learning materials quite useful. Silk Mandarin provided me with a course textbook, workbook, and vocabulary flashcards. The learning app we used during class, Classin, never had any problems, was very user friendly, and the teacher was quite efficient in her abilities to use the technology. What's more, the school produces daily social media posts, as well as host many group events, so even though my courses were online, it was easy to feel as though I was part of the community.

Cannot overstate how happy I've been with my experience!

Pros
  • Good teacher
  • Relaxed
  • Helpful support staff

Very good course program

Why I gave 5 Stars:
- very good, qualified teachers
- nice atmosphere
- both online and on site courses possible: they are very flexible in changing (also during lockdown)
- different tools to keep learning and learn in different ways: homework with listening task provided on the website, specific courses in the APP Quizlet to learn vocabulary, an online Platform for online Courses with all tools you need to cooperate, ...
- small classes or individual courses
- they also teach you to read or write (via computer not handwriting) Chinese characters --> I didn't expect, but it is an big advantage to be able to read characters.

Pros
  • trained, qualified teachers
  • flexibility
  • many tools to learn in different ways
Cons
  • price - but it's worth the price
