Review

Before joining Silk Mandarin, I had tried learning Chinese on my own multiple times, but each attempt left me feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the language. Memorizing characters seemed daunting, and without a clear, structured approach, it quickly became discouraging. Pronunciation was another challenge. Some sounds felt impossible to master, and not getting the tones right was frustrating. Every time, it seemed like I wasn't making any real progress.

I discovered Silk Mandarin while searching for Chinese classes for my son. From the start, I could tell that Silk Mandarin was very serious about their approach, so I decided to take lessons for myself. Given my busy schedule balancing work and home life, I was initially concerned about committing to lessons. However, I really appreciated their flexibility. Silk Mandarin offers tailored plans to fit your needs and schedule, and having one-to-one online classes during my lunch break has been the perfect solution.

Consistency is essential when learning Chinese, and regular lessons with Jane have kept me on track. I began with HSK 2 and am now studying HSK 4, a progress I couldn't have achieved without Jane's support. She’s incredibly patient and always encouraging. Chinese grammar is quite different from Western languages, and I’m grateful that Jane is always available to clarify tricky grammar points.

I also like that lessons often incorporate cultural elements. Silk Mandarin regularly organizes cultural activities and shares cultural information in their WeChat.

I wholeheartedly recommend Silk Mandarin and their teachers. Their personalized approach and commitment to student success have made all the difference in my language learning journey.
