Silk Mandarin - Language Training Institute

By far the best language school

The teachers are not only very professional but also able to mix fun and learning at the same time. Each class is also linked to real life situations (day to day life, work, etc.) which makes the learning more effective and applicable. They follow their own scheme and structure for each class, and there is always a positive outcome. I have improved my Chinese level with a very fast pace and I can definitely say that since attending classes in Silk Mandarin I have learned more than I would ever expect before. Thank you 老师们!!

Student

What I liked the most is the energy that the teacher had every class, which made me stay focused throughout the entire class. The teaching methods are excellent, and this helps students remember information in the long term. Moreover, I loved the Chinese corner, which is organized frequently and it's suitable for every level. Silk Mandarin organizes events and outings for the students, which is a great way to meet people and practice speaking Chinese! I strongly recommend taking classes here!

Amazing school with the best teachers

I've been living in Shanghai for o´ver 5 years and tried many different schools. At Silk Mandarin I've had the best experience by far and always recommend it to my friends that need a place to study Chinese. They make it fun, they care about your learning, and it works... I started around HSK2/3 level and am now 6. Have introduced many beginners also who loved it and still go many months after starting.

Learnt a lot in a short space of time

I definitely felt the benefit of being at one of the smaller, but still popular language institutions. The teaching style and techniques are very effective and after two weeks I can’t really believe how much vocabulary and grammar I have been able to absorb. The staff are very friendly and make you feel like you are part of their family, which makes it a much more enjoyable environment to learn the language in.

My intensive course experience

Very nice and friendly staff. They really want to make a bond with you upon arrival. Professional teachers that will help you achieve your set goals. Private classes can get quite intense if you follow the intensive program (makes sense, right?). So prepare yourself for a lot of characters thrown at your way. Although this school is not bad, I do believe that it’s main focus are beginners. If you start from scratch or are a very low level, this is the place to be! Location is good but the school itself could use some upgrades (maybe some place to relax during break, give it a more ‘school’ feeling, tidy up the bathrooms). Activities were organised a lot but I never participated in any. They seemed OK though. Service was on point. Whenever I wanted to sign up for the BCT test, it took them 1 day. Well done on that one. I cannot speak for the group classes because I took private classes, but I had the feeling that there weren’t that many students. So not really a place to make lots of friends. Overall, a medium sized Mandarin school that has potential to become a very big one. Classes are clear and structured. If you pay for private classes, you can decide the content of that class. A worthy Mandarin school that will make you feel like learning Mandarin is easy and fun!

Better than comparable schools

Little bit more expensive, but therefore better Chinese learning experience than comparable schools. The teachers are very motivated to find a suitable way to help you improve your Chinese. Classes can be scheduled flexibly, which is helpful when you have changing working schedule. The location is good, in the city center. Class rooms are functional, with big screens. School offeres additional activities incl. saturday language circle (free of charge).

Great Service - Great school

I've been in the Silk Mandarin for just one week and did an absolute beginner course. It was great how flexible they've been in arranging the class as per my needs and personal schedule. The class itself was really good - we were just 2 students so we learned a lot in this one week. The teachers know well how to explain step by step. They use several media like books, PPP etc.
I received books + a stick which is reading Chinese words so that I know how to pronounce them in the correct way.
So it was a great week in which I could quickly learn the basics.

Experience with Silkmandarin

Silkmandarin is situated close to the heart of the city. The teachers and staff are very passionate and engaging as well as helpful and knowledgeable. The classroom and overall facilities are fairly small but this contributes to the friendly atmosphere. I also appreciate that Silkmandarin was able to customize my lessons to fit with my schedule. I would recommend Silkmandarin if you ever find yourself in Shanghai with an interest in learning Mandarin.

Fully recommended

I started learning Chinese at Silk Mandarin without any prior knowledge of chinese language. Three months later, I achieved HSK 1 with max score and the first units of level 2. The school is in a good location close to West Nanjing station and they are very friendly, you can meet many people there in different kinds activities that they do every week. The schedules are very flexible since many of their students are working.

If you are looking for Chinese lessons I recommend you Silk Mandarin School.
