Great Experience Studying Beginner Chinese in Beijing

I signed up for a 60-hour beginner class at Mandarin Zone. I had no experience with Chinese language. My Chinese teacher was really patient as I started learning how to say common words and pronounce common sentences. We looked at basic characters (Han Zi) also. She even helped me navigate some online shopping websites (all the text is Chinese)! I learned a little about Chinese and Beijing culture, too.
Mandarin Zone was an easy walk from my home. I had researched other language schools in Beijing, but decided to go with Mandarin Zone due to their location, reasonable cost of tution, professionalism and stellar reputation.
I would definitely recommend Mandarin Zone to anyone wanting to learn this wonderful language. Learning the basics will make your experience in Beijing even better!
