Learning Mandarin shall not be feared anymore!

As an Indonesian whose professional work also revolves around Mainland China clients, I will not regret the 2 months intensive course package; (HSK 1 and HSK 2) I have completed in SilkMandarin! I took the program for these main goals; to be able to speak and respond in Mandarin, but not the character writings. You will be surprised of the profound program selections that awaits you, whether it’s a fulltime daily class or weekly evening classes or even private classes; I am too satisfied with their teaching techniques that includes the explanation of the entire Chinese grammar in one map; the Holy Structure map by Silk Mandarin! Having to experience the intimate group classes (a class of not more than 4 students) and private one-on-one classes, I am blessed to have alternate teachers with different but profound teachings methodologies. My unforgettable 5 teachers guiding me through this exquisite language were, Bella; her 101 of introducing the Chinese Hanzi characters and how to memorize them with stories, Marsha; a sweet oral-challenged and textbook reviewer teacher, Lexie; a superb presence to keep you intact with the Chinese grammar structure, Andy; a brilliant who hands you down with homework you will enjoy, and David; the man you will want to spend endless Chinese culture insights with, while keeping your intonations in the correct order. Silk Mandarin houses such a warm hospitality; I for one will always be thankful to Lina for her accommodative help from the first registrations up until my last few days leaving this gorgeous city. As of now, my goals have been achieved in ways that I may not even be able to explain here, lets just say I can slowly converse with my Chinese clients without anxiety now! Within the 2 intensive months of courses, I was comfortably challenged with the new language intake, the oral practices you will use in the daily routines especially while you are in the city and more. But what better to top it all with its pristine location, located in the heart of busy Shanghai! Silk Mandarin is more than a language course school; it will be your home no matter the duration of courses/programs you are taking! Looking forward to come back and further my levels!
