estudado Cursos sob medida ChinêsHSK4 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.

Silk Mandarin's language training technique is truly groundbreaking and progressive. I have studied chinese for 10 years, and most of my progress has been in my 3 months at Silk. It was only after I started studying at Silk Mandarin that I began to actually understand what I was learning and slowly build confidence to speak. Silk doesn't just teach vocabulary and grammar, but teaches you the thought patterns required to speak Chinese naturally. In addition, the teachers take such good care of you, whether they are your individual teacher or not.! As soon as you walk in through the door, you are looked after so well!

estudado Geral ChinêsThe best language school in Suzhou you will even find
I am student of XJTLU university. I have been learning Chinese for almost 3 years and I got to say that in last 4 months of my intensive Chines courses in Silk Mandarin I got more help than even before! I am really glad to find such professionals who are dedicated to help you and make sure that you understand every aspect of Chinese language. When I first came and had my trial class at Silk Mandarin I immediately realised that THIS IS THE PLACE where you can improve your Chinese! I started from reviewing HSK3 and already have finished HKS4. It was awesome experience! I am really happy that I finally found proper language courses with very professional teachers. If you want to go from " 听不懂“ to “听得懂” this is the right place to go to!

estudado Geral ChinêsHSK2 - Courses
After I had finished HSK1 private lessons, I found Silk Mandarin on facebook for HSK 2 level in Suzhou. From the first meeting my consultant has explained to me every detail and also the method that this school uses (slow motion method) and I was convinced from what I saw that it is a very nice organized training center. Now that I finished the lessons for HSK2 I have to mention that my choice was successful. Well educated teacher, nice environment, convenient location, lesson hours according to student needs, the teacher replied to all of my questions even at not office hours. I really enjoyed the lessons and the best thing I trully enjoyed was the explanation from teacher about the formation of Hanzi characters.
Highly recommended!

estudado Geral ChinêsPerfect place to learn Chinese language
I was searching in the internet for a language school in Suzhou to start learning Chinese language. The Silk Mandarin website catched my eyes. So I contacted the Shanghai office. From the first moment I had a good feeling about that school. I did try to learn at home first. But I realised it is much too difficult for me to do so. I needed a system and a schedule. Both I found at Silk Mandarin. The school in Suzhou is located in the trousers building at Jinji Lake. Don´t know why, but I like that place in general. First contact in Suzhou I had with Amy. She´s a very friendly and nice lady. She explained me everything perfect. We created a suitable schedule for me. The introduction lesson I had with Shirley. She is also a nice teacher and explained me everything about the learning system. My lessons for HSK1 I had with Hailey. I felt myself in best hands with her. She is a very patient teacher, always friendly and competent. We had a lot of joy during the lessons but never lost sight of the goal. The teachers also offered nice weekend activities like Tai Chi, dumpling course and hiking in the Mudu mountains. Even during these activities we improved our language knowlwdge. Finally I must say it was a great experience. I can recommend the school to everybody who is looking for the best. Thanks again to all the teachers and staff.

Silk Mandarin is great place to butcher the language and make impressive language gains. Albeit expensive, I have found them to be professional and efficient in how they work and adaptive to different paces of study. 9/10 because no-one is perfect. I'm about to start HSK4.

estudado Geral ChinêsWorth It!
I have been in China for almost 3 years now but it was only a couple of months ago that I thought of officially learning Chinese. Better late than never :)
With plenty of options in shanghai with similar offerings, it was tough to pick one but the demo class at Silk Mandarin sorted it out. To the point yet comprehensive. I enrolled for HSK 1 and am not disappointed so far.
The staff is really cool and cooperative. Facilities are nice and location is very convenient. Shout-out to Teacher Hannah for amazing lessons. Overall it has been great so far so will definitely continue with HSK2.

estudado Cursos sob medida ChinêsSilk: passion and experience
Silk was recommended to me by a friend, who was recommended by a friend and who was ALSO recommended by a friend, and I in turn have recommended it to even more friends! Silk combines passion from the teachers with their extensive expertise and drive to not only get you to where you want to be, but to really uncover what it is you want to get out of mandarin. The conversations I have had with my teacher Marsha have been fantastic. She's picked up on my hobbies and interests and integrated vocabulary related to them seamlessly into conversation, making it feel like I'm not working hard to learn. However, my results and speed of learning is definitely a testament to their teaching ability. They're not afraid to slow or speed things up as needed for you. In short, you will find a highly customisable course with teachers who will not be overbearing but who will inspire you to learn yourself.

SILK Mandarin was suggested to me by a good friend that has been studying there for some time. All the expectations I had were met: new offices, programs that allows you to have the most effective class based on your level and budget, enthusiastic and well prepared teachers, friendly and always available employees. If I wouldn't have had such a positive environment I would have probably quit Chinese class long time ago. First Andy, then Masha gave me the right motivations to continue. Highly recommended!
