estudiado Cursos de Chino generalPart 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.

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!

estudiado Cursos de Chino generalfinally!
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.

estudiado Cursos de Chino personalizadosRecommended 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.

estudiado Cursos de Chino personalizadosThe 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!

Learning Chinese requires real commitment, and Silk Mandarin makes it tangible and actionable for everyday use. The teachers are knowledgeable and patient so that you really feel the progress you are making. What's best is that you develop strong empathy and curiosity for Chinese culture, and have lots of fun while learning. Its a real pleasure learning Chinese with Silk Mandarin.

estudiado Cursos de Chino personalizadosIntensive Chinese at Silk Mandarin
I have been learning Chinese at Silk Mandarin for only one extremely amazing month. My experience in this school is one of its own. Even if I have been learning already 3 languages in different methods and schools, I strongly believe that Silk Mandarin is providing the best way to learn the Chinese language. It is not about just learning vocabulary but mostly about being accurate and consistent when I speak. To learn such a language I had to be an active learner by practicing real Chinese. Silk Mandarin is providing such an environment: I was lucky to study with people from different countries, learn from them as well and make this journey much more enjoyable. I have been able to talk with Chinese teachers during free time and getting my Chinese improved even during break time and still have a lot of fun!
In my opinion, professors are very professional, they did not only taught me the language but also the culture behind and its mindset.
Everything gets so easy when you have a clear structured map in mind and you turn your mind into the "Slow Motion Mode".

estudiado Cursos de Chino personalizadosHSK4 Content in Intense three month course
I came to Silk Mandarin with a clear goal of going to HSK 3 to HSK 4 in three months with daily classes. The school devised a program for me. I had one teacher the whole time Lexie who was a really great teacher, taught me the content in an interesting way also helped me express myself better beyond the syllabus. As I got better she encouraged me to really to talk about important things and have an opinion in Chinese. She is a hero. Sylvia and school management are also very good. To make it better value they found me a classmate and we did it together.
My only caveat is the price. If you are not in a group class it is expensive. If you are sponsored by a school or company it is a no brainer because of quality and easiness, but if you are price sensitive I would recommend also seeing if you can find a private teacher.
