Pieter Chinese Journey

Hi, my name is Pieter. I started learning Chinese thought Anki ABOUT 1 year ago, and build up quite a vocabulary! But as good as it is it is not enough. I struggled to comunitcate, to put sentences in correct order. 🙈
So a friend suggests Silk Mandrin to me. I enrolled, this was the best decision I have ever made.
The online classes just brilliant and very helpful. The online teacher, very professional. Helping me to perfect my Chinese.
You can definitely try out Silk Mandrin to help you on your journey to master Chinese!!

About my lesson

Thank you every time.
I am satisfied with the lessons.
The small class size suits me very well.
The teacher teaches very rhythmically.
She also teaches me not only Chinese, but sometimes also about Chinese culture and customs.
It's an advantage to be able to learn while I study.
If I could freely request, I would like to have more opportunities to speak and to have my pronunciation corrected.
I will make an effort study more, then I try to increase opportunity to speak more.
Thank you very much.

Silk Mandarin Success

I've really enjoyed the one on one experience of learning Mandarin with Catherine at Silk Mandarin.
The resources are great, and cater to many types of learners. Learning tools include slideshows, videos, powerpoints, text books and work books. There is a real variety to help you do your best.
Catherine is always positive and has energy and a kind nature.
I've been able to do the classes as frequently as my schedule allows and am inspired to practice Mandarin in my daily life.
Thank you Silk Mandarin

Pros
  • Friendliness
  • Professionalism

Great teaching program.

I really liked my teacher Christana. She was so calm but also very direct to where she was going in the teaching and kept the pace .
I liked it very much how she approached the subject professionally and was patient with me. Due to the time difference I was waking up very early to catch the course. So sometimes I was more tired than often before.
I also really liked the extra curricular activities I was able to take online in addition to the private lessons.
Being able to revisit the material again and again to understand it better,
that was great.

Excellent 1:1 Mandarin tutor for child

Excellent home tutoring for my child. Very professional, with good teaching skills. My son's Mandarin improved greatly after 30 lessons and he is still learning. Thank you to Silk Mandarin school for a good experience. Recommend them for 1:1 tutoring. Also recommend them for teaching kids under 10 years old, who are not native Mandarin speakers. Teacher Sarah was always on time and very flexible in her schedule. It was possible to schedule classes with less than one day notice which was very helpful.

Chinese Learning at Silk Mandarin

Before starting to learn chinese with Silk Mandarin, I struggled a lot with the sequence. They helped me understand better with the Slow Motion Technique and learnt more than 600 characters, can't believe how I improved my current reading, speaking and understanding skills.
The activities they create and the flash cards they use, have helped me a lot in a fun way to understand a completely different and new language for me.
Silk Mandarin has been a fun, wide and strict school that has helped me improve my chinese in such a fast pace.

Make the progress you want with Silk Mandarin

My experiences of learning Chinese with Silk Mandarin have been very positive.
I have been very fortunate to have a wonderful teacher who is always good humoured and patient and supports and guides me when I make mistakes. I always feel encouraged to continue.
I chose Silk Mandarin precisely because of its video materials and blended learning approach. I also found the flashcards extremely helpful to me in learning how to read Chinese characters.
What has surprised me recently is that I have been able to learn to recognise and remember some Chinese characters which has enabled me to learn to start reading Chinese. Previously I had never thought this would be possible for me.

I would recommend Silk Mandarin for anyone who is serious about wanting to lean or improve their Chinese.

Pros
  • Blended learning
  • Videos with vocabulary and grammar which allows for flexible learning
  • Flashcard with characters
Cons
  • You need to put in enough hours to keep up with the learning

Silk Mandarin Best Chinese School

Silk Mandarin is very helpful when learning chinese, the content is wide and the teaching tools are diverse. Teachers make several activities in order to learn having fun and with interesting topics, the exercises are also acumulative from past levels learnings so you can keep adding value to new knowledge. I have seen the return of my investment in very short time, of course it takes the student commitment as well but without the structure, teachers and learning tools from Silk Mandarin it wouldn't have been possible to achieve it so wide and fast.

Pros
  • Improve your chinese level very fast
Cons
  • A lot of homework

Blended Learning- Online Class

I took the blended learning class online because I lived in another city and had a busy life schedule. Everything about this program was amazing. I felt heard. Amy took her time creating the perfect schedule for me so that attendance and study were attainable. I actually took both HSK 1 and HSK 2 with Silk Mandarin and both time felt supported. The class sizes are small enough that everyone can practice and the pace of the class is also good. My skill set has improved drastically. I honestly tell everyone I know about this program.

Pros
  • Staff support
  • Educational materials
  • pace
Cons
  • pricing but you get a lot
