finally

As a beginner, it was a relief to finally get down to learning Chinese properly - apps and videos could only scratch the surface. This school finally put me in touch with the language after 18 months of being in China, and the structured course, with selected language areas, all useful for daily use, means that I actually feel progress week to week, and more at home overall. The teachers are adaptable to the learners in that they use their excellent English as much as you might need, and using Chinese only as much as you can manage, so I feel very supported, and intend to continue. The approach resembles that found in EFL, with different areas covered: vocabulary and grammar in useful contexts with speaking practice. Besides, the school had a course which suited my limited timings, something unavailable elsewhere, and I needed something structured rather than a private tutor - that hasn't worked for me in the past. So, I'd recommend this if you want to make your Chinese real.
