studierte Chinesisch onlineHighly skilled teachers
Silk Mandarin is a great languange school. The teachers are extremely skilled at bringing mandarin to life for students, helping them understand the stroies behind the characters and the logic behind the language. Silk Mandarin get the balance right between having fun in the classroom and also making sure each student makes progress in their mandarin learning. The school provides group, one to one and online classes which is great if you travel and want to keep your mandarin skills up. I would highly recommend Silk Mandarin to anyone thinking of studying Mandarin.

studierte Chinesisch onlineBest decision I made
I have been doing online lessons with Silk Mandarin and I am enjoying every moment. Yes their courses is not the cheapest but it's worth every cent. Not only do they have great teachers with alot of experience, passion and patience but they also have great material and programs. They don't over overload you with information and they give you extra information that makes understanding mandarin so much easier. Learning through Silk Mandarin is the best decision I made. And my teacher Marsha is amazing.

studierte Maßgeschneiderte Chinesisch KurseSilk Mandarin: A wonderful experience
I can't speak highly enough about my experience at Silk Mandarin. The teachers and staff are very experienced and professional, the environment is lovely, and I felt my language skills improve with every class. I spent most of my class time taking 1-on-1 classes with Hannah who is an exceptional teacher that made me look forward to every session. I found the learning methodology Silk uses to be engaging and effective in helping me memorise new characters and grammar structures. I would recommend Hannah and Silk Mandarin to anyone interested in improving their Mandarin language skills!!

studierte Allgemeines ChinesischEffective, professional, great teachers and creative methodology
Learning Chinese is a huge challenge, so you need to have the proper support and the adequate tools. Silk Mandarin has provided me numerous resources that have allowed me to be able to start understanding the language and after only three months I can have a basic conversation and I am also able to read many characters. The teachers are very talented and professional; the system they use has a good balance of all the skills you need when learning a new language: listening, reading, writing and speaking. I believe Chinese language has a unique logic, and Silk Mandarin’s teachers have given me lots of support first to understand such logic, and then to start using it when practicing the language. Sharing the classroom with people form many different countries has significantly enriched this experience. Learning at this school has also been a great opportunity to be introduced to Chinese culture, which has so many fascinating aspects that I might have not learned about somewhere else.

studierte Allgemeines ChinesischPart time classes at Silk Mandarin
Silk Mandarin was recommended to me by a friend, and what really struck me is the personal attention given by Silk Mandarin team. I came to learn Chinese Mandarin from a complete beginner level. I chose to have part time classes (4h30/week). My teacher Hannah was especially great explaining us not only grammar and vocabulary but also making us understand the global thinking behind Chinese grammar, so that we have a good understanding of ultimately how to understand and speak Chinese.
Also if we had specific needs, Hannah was really supportive in giving us individual tips to improve our writing, reading, speaking or listening.
Hannah makes classes fun and interesting, and she was also very supportive during class.
It was very efficient and pleasant to learn in this warm context.
And thanks to Silk Mandarin and Hannah, I am confident in reaching HSK 2 level after 4 months.

studierte Allgemeines ChinesischGreat school with nice teachers
I started with Silk Mandarin 3 months ago and continued after HSK 1 with HSK 2 directly, as the teachers are very motivating and taking care of the individual development and needs. Thanks to my amazing teacher Hannah for all the patience and encouragement!

studierte Allgemeines Chinesischfinally!
As a beginner, it was a relief to finally get down to learning Chinese properly - apps and videos could only scratch the surface. This school finally put me in touch with the language after 18 months of being in China, and the structured course, with selected language areas, all useful for daily use, means that I actually feel progress week to week, and more at home overall. The teachers are adaptable to the learners in that they use their excellent English as much as you might need, and using Chinese only as much as you can manage, so I feel very supported, and intend to continue. The approach resembles that found in EFL, with different areas covered: vocabulary and grammar in useful contexts with speaking practice. Besides, the school had a course which suited my limited timings, something unavailable elsewhere, and I needed something structured rather than a private tutor - that hasn't worked for me in the past. So, I'd recommend this if you want to make your Chinese real.

studierte Maßgeschneiderte Chinesisch KurseRecommended place to learn Chinese!
Hello! I am Paula, I’m currently studying MBA program in Tongji University and I’ve been attending to Silk Mandarin 3 times a week for 1 month now to learn Chinese from zero. I started with a one to one class with Hannah, my teacher, to complete the HSK1 level and it’s been great. She makes every class interesting, fun and useful by teaching me basic words and sentences I can use in my daily life in Shanghai. I will stay here at least two years and I’m very positive on reaching a Chinese level that allows me to communicate not only with friends but also in a working environment, something before starting in Silk Mandarin seemed hard to do.

studierte Maßgeschneiderte Chinesisch KurseThe one and only language school
Silk Mandarin was recommended by a good friend of mine. I had tried various other language schools before, but the methodology (customized flashcards, the slow-motion process and the and THE pen) and qualifications of the teachers intrigued me. So after 15 days of private lessons I had HSK1 and HSK 2 done. What an achievement (admitting: I did know most of the words since I am in China for many years, but I could not read or write) - tick. I then approached HSK 3 within a daily course but quickly realized that I do not have the capacity to attend on a daily basis, so the school was flexible enough to swap my package to private lessons. And I am with my teacher Andy ever since (Andy has gotten me through HSK1 and 2 already in speed time). Andy is my favorite teacher (no offense to the others), but we really got on. Andy pays attention on what I would like to focus on, she is strict but forgiving in the same time. She accommodates my schedule and goes the extra mile of making tools that help me remember the characters (aside from the awesome stories I receive to characters). I truly value my time and progress at Silk Mandarin; I wish I could spend more time outside of the classroom reviewing what we have done, but nevertheless, I am at the early stages of HSK 4 now, and that is because of Andy and Silk Mandarin. Thank you for helping me with what I have achieved so far and for what I am still in the game for!
