Great Choice for Learners of Mandarin

After a couple of months of learning Chinese informally through social media, I enrolled in a course through Silk Mandarin in Suzhou. From the beginning, the staff at Silk Mandarin have been remarkably friendly, as well flexible and responsive to my needs and interests as a learner. My teacher, Sisi, is a skilled language instructor and it is clear that she has extensive experience working with non-native learners—she is able to anticipate common challenges for learners of Chinese and understands how to explain them in terms that make sense to learners. She is also adept at continuously incorporating previous course content into new lessons, which allows me to reinforce the various concepts we have learned. During class, I always feel engaged and appropriately challenged; as such, I’ve felt both my proficiency and my confidence improve throughout my course at Silk Mandarin. As all of the above suggests, I’d highly recommend Silk Mandarin to learners!
