Very effective program, great teachers and nice environment

Learning Chinese is a huge challenge,  so you need to have the proper support and the adequate tools. Silk Mandarin has provided me numerous resources that have allowed me to be able to start understanding the language and after only three months I can have a basic conversation and I am also able to read many characters.    The teachers are very talented and professional; the system they use has a good balance of all the skills you need when learning a new language: listening, reading,  writing and speaking.    I believe Chinese language has a unique logic,  and Silk Mandarin's teachers have given me lots of support first to understand the forementioned logic,  and then to start using it when practicing the language.   Sharing the classroom with people  from many different countries has significantly enriched this experience. Learning at this school has also been a great opportunity to be introduced to Chinese culture,  which has so many fascinating aspects that I might have not learned about somewhere else.
