Excellent place to learn Chinese with excellence

Even when I was learning the basic Chinese statements for 3 months before to arrive to Shanghai, once arrived, It was almost impossible to detect the words and accent from people and they also didn't understood me.
Some colleagues with more time living in Shanghai has been studying in Silk Mandarin and they recommend me to start. It was the best decision I made.
My Teacher Nina, is super comprehensive, the way and technique to help you understand on how to start and then develop your daily life with simple phrases and key words from inside and outside the books.
I think this is the culture from Silk Mandarin, they will help you to learn Chinese with tools, technique, metodologies, etc. But the most important, they will listen your needs and they will be as flexible as needed to add it to the class and help you on that.
