2 week intense program

Review
I spent 2 weeks studying at Mandarin Zone and can't but highly recommend the school! First of all, the management is excellent. The leader of the school is so friendly, clear, helpful and clearly cares about the school and the students. The homestay that was arranged for me was great, with a warm-hearted family where I had 2 meals per day. In addition my laundry was washed and I got tons of help with whatever homework I might have had.
I had school 5 times/week, from 9.30 - 13.20. 20 minutes of pause. It was very intense and very rewarding. I had problems with grammar, but with persistency and tons of examples, I was able to get a good grasp on it. I had studied 9 months prior, but my grammar was a mess. 2 weeks had a huge impact. We used "New practical chinese reader" for grammar and for practical language "short term spoken chinese vol. 2". Especially the practical book was very helpful, and the teacher knew both books nearly inside out. Wonderful school and people! Highly recommended!
The price that was offered for me was the cheapest I could find. I'm very happy that I chose Mandarin Zone, and would be happy to take classes again in the future. The teacher also helped me with arranging practical things, such as buying a sim card, train tickets, booking hostels etc.
