estudiado Cursos de Chino personalizadosA wonderful and valuable experience
I have been a student at Silk Mandarin in Shanghai for 7 months. My choice could not be more appropriate.
Amy and all the staff has been friendly and exhaustive introducing me the school.
After a trial lesson I have started one to one sessions twice a week, with my super teacher Yanqin.
Every class is perfectly managed with a clear structure and you can feel the knowledge and the competence of the teacher. She is ready to answer to all my questions and makes me feel at ease to speak.
The slow motion method is great and makes easier to build up sentences; also the other tools recommended by the school, such as cards and pen reader are useful and help you a lot while studying to get the right pronunciation.
Silk Mandarin has made me feel in love with Chinese language and culture to the point that now that I have moved back to Italy, I am still having remote classes using the ClassIn app, which is an amazing e-learning platform, and I am willing to take the HSK examinations.
I definitely recommend Silk Mandarin: a high standard, professional, experienced and welcoming school.

estudiado Cursos de Chino generalAmazing teachers, friendly staff, unique learning approach!
I happened to be in Shanghai for two weeks and decided to do the intensive lessons for two weeks, after doing some research online, I decided to go with Silk Mandarin. Yanqin was my main teacher (we had one-one-one lessons) whilst I was at Shanghai and she was amazing! She was so knowledgeable with Mandarin and her teaching approach and energy is one of the best out of any teacher I have met. You can tell she is very passionate and loves what she does, and her enthusiasm really encourage and motivates you to learn. She remembers what she has taught you, she reviews and emphasises on ones she sees you struggle on, and you can feel that she cares about your learning and progress, which I believe are very important traits in a teacher.
I am still doing lessons with Yanqin via online (starting HSK 2 now), and her teaching approach is still just as effective! I also had some lessons with another teacher, Christiana, and found her teaching approach also quite good and she has a lovely personality. I would highly recommend Yanqin and Christina to anyone who wants to study at Silk Mandarin. It’s an awesome school. All the staff there are friendly, approachable and helpful, especially Amy and Vicki who were always happy to chat and answer my questions. They made me felt so welcome when I arrived and when I departed Shanghai.
I am not sure whether other Chinese schools have this, but Silk Mandarin provides these really cool magic talking cards (with Chinese characters and pictures) and a talking pen which I felt helped me immensely with my learning. The school uses a “slow motion technique” to help students remember the grammar which I think is very clever and useful!
Also, during my time in Shanghai, I was at a homestay (organised by Silk Mandarin) with an older couple who were extremely nice and helpful. Mary was the host and she is one of the loveliest people I have ever met. She was incredibly accommodating towards me and spoke to me in Mandarin to help me learn. It was a very special and unforgettable experience. I would recommend Silk Mandarin to anyone, and I would love to attend the school again sometime in the future. The face-to-face lessons and online lessons are both equally good, and you will definitely see progress.

estudiado Cursos de Chino personalizadosGreat teachers, great tools
I am in China on a 3x year expat assignment and I got Silk Mandarin recommended by other expats here in Suzhou. Silk Mandarin has provided a tailor made offer based on my busy schedule.
One-on-one tutoring experience with teacher Shirley was great. She fully adapt learning speed while pushing the boundaries forward. Silk Mandarin has a great online platform too, which is helpfull when you cannot attend physical classes. They also offer a reading device, allowing you to practice speaking and listening between the lessons.

estudiado Cursos de Chino personalizadosSilk Mandarin is the best choice I have ever made!
When moving to China about 2 years ago I was determined to learn Chinese. So after a good month of settling in I went looking for a school. I chose for Silk Mandarin and after meeting with Shirley for a demo class I was hooked. Not only her enthusiasm, but also her experience and the learning methodology Silk Mandarin has to offer made me wanted to start immediately. I chose for a one on one class, but my husband went for the online approach due to his job. And now I have completed HSK4 and ready to continue to start HSK5!
I would recommend Silk Mandarin, because they really help you understand the language, have created useful tools like cards and a talking pen, offer tailor-made classes, and most of all they have an amazing team of highly skilled, motivated, and passionate teachers.

Obviously it's natural to be skeptical about anything you buyt. I've bought Chinese programs before and they ended up being terrible, designed for someone way different than me. By God's grace, I stumbled on the Silk MandarinWebsite. When I read the details and watched the video, I really felt that i wanna learn!! guys knew what they were talking about, knew my pain, and knew a way to fix it. I took a leap of faith and decided to purchase the program. I can say that I regret only a few things in my life, and buying courses in Silk was definitely NOT something I regret!My teacher Lis she is beyong AMAZING!! My life changed, plain and simple. I was loaded with amazing information from the book, energized by all the fresh new teaching skills,ofc my teacher! I didn't join a school no. I joined a Family!!

estudiado Cursos de Chino generalStrongly recommend
Everything was great. I really cannot complain about anything. Super recommendable. Place is amazing and so the teachers. My teacher was Christina who is excellent at teaching Chinese. Their procedure of teaching with ppts, writing in the phone and other ways, make silk mandarin an incredible institute.
I started in September of 2018 and did HSK 1, 2 and 3. Already booked and looking forward to star HSK 4 soon. Teachers are all really nice who talk to you during break time so you can also practice with them all the new words and grammars you just learned during class. I greatly recommended you to start learning Chinese with silk mandarin as you won't regret at all.
I should say 我非常爱Silk Mandarin。

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.

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.

estudiado Cursos de Chino personalizadosSilk 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!!

estudiado Cursos de Chino generalEffective, 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.
