Students' Voice

"Shanghai is just that place you never would have imagined until you get here. Its HUGE in all senses! Two thumbs Up! To study Mandarin is so fascinating, it seems super difficult but my teachers make it look so easy that, when you start speaking it feels so great! Then you think: I am so smart!."

"In-Mandarin has proven to be a very good choice for me. Having small classes is very effective;students receive close follow-up from the teachers and receive support when it's needed. The teachers here are dedicated and professional. Learning mandarin is hard, but they make it fun and interesting."

I really enjoyed this class because our teacher was very helpful and good at teaching the material. While it was a perfect speed for me, I think there were some people in the class who should have been moved to a higher or lower level. Overall this was a great experience and my Lao Shi really helped me improve my chinese skills.

Teacher Zhang is the best chinese teacher I have ever had. Her teaching style is perfect, as she is patient, stresses review, and challenges in the class to exercise their oral chinese skills by using innovative and fun technics like storytelling and game playing. She must be commended for her superior teaching skills, as well as her friendly attitude and willingness to help her students with not only chinese, but also life in Shanghai. She is the best!

Give an oral exam as well as the written exam to test the students' language skills. Working in class sizes of 4 people or less is an easier way to learn because the course can be tailored to the students' needs.

Having a smaller class is much more effective than having more students. Miss Zhang is a very good teacher.
