"I learned much more than I thought I would"

Faisal Amin, student from UK

I really enjoyed my time with Hanbridge Mandarin School. Everyone was very friendly and excited to have me there. The location was excellent, as it was near my apartment, a food court as well as a well-known shopping area. The teachers were very supportive and also very flexible, so we were able to change classes and learning content around in a way that would benefit me more. The facilities were what you would expect and need in a school, so I had no problems with that. The housing was also great, as a I had an apartment for myself that was situated very close to the school. In hindsight, I wish I could have stayed for a longer time.

"Fantastic Chinese learning trip in Hanbridge Mandarin School"

Jean Baptiste DOUCET,

I enjoyed my Chinese class with Shiny so far, she´s dynamic, funny, and enthusiastic, well nothing to worry about, I have the feeling my Chinese level is becoming better, I feel more confident when I am speaking in Chinese.
There is, until now nothing to be changed.

Shiny creates a nice and really dynamic atmosphere to learn Chinese, she knows how to put smoothly some pressure, so that the Chinese class is not getting boring.

As far as I am concerned, I am getting more confident to speak Chinese with Chinese people, my pronunciation seems to be good, since people understand what I am saying. My vocabulary is not so polished, but enough for me to feel at ease in China, and this is a great feeling, which gives more motivation to learn more Chinese.
