This is my first time in Shanghai and I’ve chosen Silk Mandarin as the place where I’ll study Chinese - I didn’t expect that I’ll not only learn some vocabulary, grammar, etc., but also have that much speaking practice. Lessons are well-structured, the school provides a huge amount of useful study materials for previews and reviews, so I have a chance to go through the topics again, and after every class.

Every teacher at Silk Mandarin talks to you several times a day during the breaks so that you can practice more. I was really afraid of speaking in Chinese, even though I had a good basis, but thanks to the program, I’m not afraid of asking people for help on the streets if I need something. It is also possible to have small talk with the natives now!

Special thanks to teacher Jane - she taught me a lot of new things and it is not only about the lessons, she has also showed me that it is better to try to say something in the language you studying, make a mistake and try to rephrase your answer than to sit in silence and be afraid.

I honestly recommend Silk Mandarin, their lessons and attitude helped me to improve my Chinese level, especially speaking skills. I hope we’ll meet again someday :)

I believe that Silk Mandarin is a wonderful opportunity to learn Chinese. The teachers are very understanding and friendly. The exercises we were given turned out to be highly effective. I've been studying Chinese at Silk Mandarin not for long, but I already feel how learning it becomes more effective and enjoyable!! My motivation gets bigger after each lesson because classes are interesting and fun. During our studies, we tried lots of Chinese food. It was so tasty and exciting! We also visited many tourist places and learned a lot about Chinese culture. Thanks to our teachers, it's very interesting to study China more. I'm sure I'll reach my goals and speak Chinese well thanks to this method.
