Etudié Cours de Chinois sur mesureLearning with Silk Mandarin is fun and efficient
Learning with Silk Mandarin is fun and efficient. Everybody is very friendly and accommodating. I had studied Mandarin before and before starting with Silk Mandarin they had me do some quick tests to find the right level class. I started with an intensive three-week summer programme, which was great for boosting my Mandarin after a longer break. Since then, I have continued studying one on one.
I like to walk to school in the mornings but I can also schedule online classes when I am not in Shanghai. The classes are fitted to my personal schedule and progress - learning one on one has helped me fresh up my Mandarin and cut down on common mistakes I made before. The extra learning material online and through social media is much appreciated - as well as homework assignments to practice and review in between classes.

Etudié Cours de Chinois sur mesureExpert tutoring
I have been with Silk Mandarin for almost 4 years now since January 2020 and my Mandarin skills have radically improved since I am now able to maintain my HSK 5 level by regularly having tutoring sessions which preserves my conversational Mandarin skills. The tutoring skill sessions are highly personalised and the tutor is always there to help you with your weaknesses. I would highly recommend Silk Mandarin to people of all levels, starting here as a beginner and now achieving HSK 5, Silk Mandarin has been beneficial at each level.

Etudié Cours de Chinois sur mesureVery satisfied
I'm very happy with my experience, it was easier than i thought to learn my first chinese characters. I went through an online class for 10 lessons, the teachers are here to explain details about characters that make them fun to learn and easier to remember. My teacher was Sisi!
Also the school helped me a LOT with getting my visa and with the problems i had while applying for it. I've been in contact with a total of 5 different teachers/managers, and all of them were lovely and very polite. I can't wait to go on with my course in Shanghai!

Etudié Cours de Chinois sur mesureGreat school to learn Chinese
My main goal was to learn as much as possible within a short period of time during my stay in Shanghai. I went to Silk Mandarin everyday and took one on one classes for 2 months in total. My Mandarin skills were non existent before I took classes. My learning curve was great, because I can manage my daily life using Chinese. Everybody at Silk Mandarin was helpful with all of my questions. My teacher Jane Wu motivated me every time I felt that I can't keep up anymore. She also supported me with knowledge about the Chinese culture, which is as much important as learning the language.
The school replied to my questions in a very professional way, which was one of the reasons why I chose Silk Mandarin. Also the online teaching videos are really helpful and fun to learn with. Everything is explained in detail and in a fun way. I liked preparing for the class and reviewing again after class. This made my lessons in class much more effective, because I could already use what I learned and practice with my teacher.
I am really happy that I chose Silk Mandarin and I can recommend this school hundred percent to anybody who wants to learn Chinese in a friendly and challenging environment. I almost finished HSK 3 within a couple of months and I will also take online classes when I am back in Germany.

Etudié Cours de Chinois sur mesureOnline and Onsite Blended course experience
I tried to learn Chinese with a private teacher and After 4 months I gave up because I could not see real improvement and got desperate. 4 years later I came across a very funny and creative video about chinese language. I found out that the video was created by a chinese language school (Silk Mandarin) in Shanghai and I watched more of their videos. After watching some of the videos, I got motivated and decided to give chinese a second try! I started from the beginning, HSK 1 Blended course which is amazing for people with tight schedules. Because each student studied the lesson before class on our own time and during the online class we just practiced and reviewed if we had some questions. Silk Mandarin was very flexible and helped me finding a class that fitted my schedule perfectly. This course was great to remind myself what I learned before and practice my pronunciation during the class. After I completed the HSK1 course I decided to continue with HSK2 but I told Silk Mandarin that I wanted a different type of blended course. Once again they were very flexible and helpful. They offered me a Blended Course with onsite class instead of online. Online Blended course was a good start but onsite class is better for further levels like HSK2. I think the communication between teacher and student flows better and it really makes a difference to improve pronunciation.

Etudié Cours de Chinois sur mesureA review for students that want to learn and enjoy Mandarin
I have taken on and off breaks in learning Mandarin, which proved difficult when trying to get back on the process as inconsistencies appear in my language proficiency. Joining Silk Mandarin has helped fixed my inconsistencies and further refined my language skills. My teacher (Sisi) adapts to my pace and levels with my skills, all the while guiding me on improving my grammar, encouraging me to be confident by initiating conversations about everything in mandarin and further refining my language proficienct in an enjoyable manner. I highly recommend Silk Mandarin to individuals who would want to undertake in learning Mandarin as they have a proper and efficient structure on how foreigners will be able to learn Mandarin with capable and experienced teachers that are able to adapt to students' and their capabilities! Furthermore, the service and facilities provided, though online, is plenty and useful.

Etudié Chinois généralTarget HSK 5 with Silk Mandarin !
I always wanted to learn Chinese since I have arrived in China. Before, I was in country side and I couldn't have face to face class so I had to learn by myself. I have reached a plateau and thanks to Silk Mandarin I have been able to better understand grammar while getting new vocabulary, starting my HSK 4 classes now !
I choose Silk Mandarin because a friend of mine was learning with them and became so much fluent in Chinese. I was and am still jealous of his chinese level.
I believe the interactions with th teacher is the most but not least apprciated factor for me. Sometimes I found the methodology hard but I like to be challenged.

Etudié Chinois en ligneA great learning experience
I found out about Silk Mandarin from a colleague who had taken classes with them and was really satisfied. I decided to sign up for the beginner level and this was one of the best decisions I have made. I had tried to learn Chinese on my own, but could never find a good system to follow, and without support, I always ended up interrupting my studies. Ever since I started taking classes with Silk Mandarin, I have felt that I am finally making progress in my study of the Chinese language.
Everyone at Silk Mandarin is extremely friendly and helpful. There are many different course options - group classes or individual lessons, so everyone can find a format that works best with their schedule and learning style. I have really enjoyed the individual lessons because I can plan them around my free time, and we can go at a pace that works for me: sometimes faster, sometimes slower, depending on my understanding of the material we are studying. The teachers are very friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable, presenting the information very clearly. They are also always happy to answer any questions. There is a very helpful online platform where one can get access to all audio files, characters, and grammar information.
Silk Mandarin is a great place to learn Chinese. I can only highly recommend them.
