studied General Chinese

I am really happy that I have chosen Silk Mandarin.


I have been studying at Silk Mandarin Institute since two months. Before I came to know Silk Mandarin I studied HSK 1 in Dhaka and then HSK 2 at home during the lockdown period. After a short time I understood that I made the right choice. Silk Mandarin offers a very efficient study method and at the same time the opportunity to be in the hands of real professionals in this field. My teacher has the capacity to make the lessons pleasant and highly productive thus helping me not only with my studies but also in keeping my motivation up. Besides an excellent study program the school allows you to fully emerge into the daily life and the culture of this wonderful country.

Sono veramente felice di avere scelto il Silk Mandarin .

Sono uno studente del Silk Mandarin da due mesi. Prima di conoscere questo istituto ho studiato Hsk 1 a Dhaka e poi Hsk2 a casa durante il periodo di lockdown da solo. Dopo poco tempo ho capito che ho fatto la scelta giusta. Il Silk Mandarin offre non solo un metodo di studio molto efficace, ma anche la possibilità di essere seguiti da veri professionisti del settore. La mia insegnante rende le lezioni piacevoli e allo stesso tempo altamente produttive aiutandomi non solo nello studio, ma anche a tenere alte le mie motivazioni. Inoltre la scuola con un programma di studio eccellente permette una full immersion nella vita quotidiana e nella cultura di questo meraviglioso paese.

Excellent Learning Toolkit

I’m very happy with the welcoming environment at Silk Mandarin. The teachers and staff are personable and always engaging. I have been taking the classes with my teacher for almost three months, twice a week and I am pleased with my improvement. Ms. Hannah has a knack for sparking interest by making the content relatable. Another great thing about the program is that it is completely customized and I’m grateful for their ability to seamlessly switch from offline to online at a moment’s notice.

My goal is to communicate smoothly and naturally and to immerge myself in Chinese and Silk Mandarin is without a doubt helping getting there.

great platform to learn chinese

Silk Mandarin is a great school for those that want to learn Chinese. I am doing private online courses and they have tailored the course according to my needs (lack of time, require basic day to day chinese language knowledge, etc.). I have been learning for a month now and can clearly see my Chinese improving.

Best Chinese 1o1 online courses

Having stayed in China for already a few years, I have never really gotten into learning Chinese seriously. I took a few trial classes from other schools before, but never really went to far. Finally, for my new job I had to improve my skills, so I tried Silks 1o1 classes and never looked back. They are well structure, highly flexible and the teacher is beyond patient. Highly recommended!
