Silk Mandarin's Online Chinese Course

I had always wanted to start learning Mandarin because it genuinely interested me. I already have lots of experience with European languages, but I wanted to branch out and challenge myself with something completely different, and Chinese had always tickled my fancy. From the very first contact, my experience with Silk Mandarin has been excellent. Lily was incredibly helpful from the start, explaining everything clearly through messages and even arranging a Zoom call to go through the course structure. She was always available to answer questions and resolve any doubts, she is a truly fabulous member of the team. My teacher, Evelyn, is absolutely amazing! I study one-to-one on the part-time online course, and she is patient, encouraging and extremely professional. Thanks to her teaching, I am already gaining confidence in speaking Mandarin, which I never expected so early on. I am currently studying for HSK1 and fully intend to continue with further courses at Silk Mandarin to keep progressing with my Chinese and HSK levels. The online learning platform is very well designed and detailed, with clear videos that help you start practising Mandarin from day one. Apart from the fixed weekly class, I have complete flexibility to organise my self-study around my own schedule, which is ideal. The online materials, videos and examples complement the live classes perfectly and make the learning process much more effective. Overall, I would definitely recommend Silk Mandarin. It is extremely beginner-friendly, fun and interactive, and you can really see your progress from lesson to lesson. It has been a brilliant experience so far, and I am very excited to continue my Mandarin journey with them.

I’ve been studying Chinese on a one-to-one basis with Silk Mandarin for almost a year now. It’s been a great experience and my Chinese level has hugely improved: I now have the foundation to start Classical Chinese in parallel to HSK 5. 非常感谢 Qiying 老师 and Mia！ Being based in London, I find Silk Mandarin’s learning platform especially useful. It really enables Qiying 老师 and I to have very interactive lessons. Qiying 老师 does a great job contextualising standard HSK vocabulary and grammar using Silk’s own materials. Although it can sometimes be quite challenging, it is always a lot of fun. I highly recommend Silk Mandarin. Their seamless combination of platform, materials and teacher deliver a very comprehensive Chinese learning environment. This is quite different from the other Mandarin Schools I’ve used before.

My goal was to further improve my language skills to make my everyday life easier. So I tried out various language courses, but I was only satisfied with Silk Mandarin, which a friend had recommended to me. The easy navigation of ClassIn, combined with the comprehensive learning materials such as videos, worksheets, etc., made the learning easier for me. The events which were well organized also helped to meet other learners. Noteworthy in particular were my teacher - always positive, professional and motivating, so I wasn't afraid of mistakes.
