Once bitten always a student

Basically I'm a returning student at Silk Mandarin Shanghai. Been with them for a significant part of the past 1 year and am currently on my second stint with the school. Long story short, this is one of the best places to learn Chinese in Shanghai.

When I first came to Shanghai and looking for a good school to learn Chinese, I was unsurprisingly overwhelmed due to the innumerable number of options available in the city. After having read through reviews and comments online, I came up with a top three shortlist, then attended trial classes with each of them and in the end, quite easily decided to go with Silk Mandarin.

What made this decision-making easy for me initially, was their unique (but very logical) Slow Motion Technique which I find is very practical and completely simplifies and rationalizes the process of understanding and mastering the unique and often-times, confusing grammar rules of Mandarin.

The other reason why I decided to signup with the school was the friendly and approachable support staff and teachers. As I needed a visa to study in Shanghai, the support given was very enthusiastic, detailed and thorough (Coco and her team, especially deserving mention here!). Their teachers are also very grounded and good at basically, making the technical process of learning Mandarin very accessible and easy to follow. A big thank you to teachers Nina, Bella, Nini, Catherine and Echo for making my Mandarin learning journey so far, less complicated (than necessary), exciting and fulfilling. I felt like I have come so far, yet there's still loads to learn and improve so Silk Mandarin, I feel like I'm going to be an eternal student here :-)
