Amanda said: Our Mandarin classes have been fantastic. Our tutor Fang Zhou is a wonderful teacher and I now feel that Mandarin is not such a foreign language anymore even after a few lessons. We have learned such useful skills and topics. I will definitely continue.

Brenda said: I did not do the Level 1 with this group as I had studied Mandarin before. I found the focus on grammar very useful, but would have liked more emphasis on accurate pronunciation. The tutors ability to explain the use of phrases in different real life contexts was excellent and made the course really valuable if intended to use the language skills in China.
