This is what our students say about us
I have to say that I am very impressed with the structure of the lessons. I have been learning Chinese for about four months, and I find your method very helpful. You start with the basic sentence structure then provide more complicated sentences, and even have an authentic dialogue at the end. I found it to be very easy to learn through this gradual process. Keep up the great work!
These videos are great! I really like how organized they are. It makes it really easy to build on each skill learned. As a former English teacher, I appreciate the methods you use! Keep up the good work!
Best lessons I’ve found on the internet! So clearly and logically explained! You answer every question that pops into my head before I even have a chance to formulate it! Fantastic! Can’t wait for the next series! Xiexie ni!!
Wow! Thanks for your videos! You are very professional! I am very surprised and happy I found your channel! You are great at teaching and structuring courses. I felt like a true student rather than being a mandarin enthusiast watching videos. Thanks a lot!!
I have been studying Chinese for almost 5 years. I have lived in China since 2011. I have studied in many different ways, but this is the most comprehensive set of lessons I have ever come across. I wish I had these when I was first starting out. Incredibly good job! Thank you! You have cleared up some basic questions I have had about grammar and done this in a clear simple format. Again, great job on these presentations and thank you!
I really appreciate you. You have the best way to teach Chinese! It is unforgettable. After I watch your videos, I can remember the forms of the sentences easily. Xiexie!
