"Great experience in Hong Kong"

Matthew Stephens

I spent 4 weeks in Hong Kong and it was a very positive and enriching experience. I had private classes with great teachers, with their own distinct teaching methods which made the classes challenging and stimulating. Overall I feel I improved tremendously and it motivated me a lot.
Thanks again Focus Mandarin for this great experience!

"Best HSK preparation course"

Andrew Johnson

I studied with the Focus Mandarin with Ms Yu, she is an amazing teacher. I completed my exam for HSK1 and successfully passed. Thank you to Ms Yu!
Now, I can hold conversations and find my way around China/Hong Kong with no problem - I learnt so much more than I expected to and can only put this down to the school. If anyone is looking for a school in Hong Kong to learn Mandarin I would definitely recommend Focus!

"Highly professional team"

Linda Mueller

I attended a three-week program in Hong Kong at Focus Mandarin and I highly recommend it. The classrooms are pretty and teachers are really nice. Teachers are all Chinese but they are fluent in English as well, in case you need some help especially at the beginning. My classmates were from all over the world (Europe, Asia and US). In addition, Focus Mandarin staff is very friendly and they help the students in the daily life in Hong Kong. Personally, I recommend Focus Mandarin because this school provides the right environment to learn Chinese.

"Should you take Focus Mandarin courses? The answer is YES!!"

Belinda Anderson

It was one of the best experiences I have had in my life. It offers you a mix between studying Mandarin, where in my personal experience I learned a lot, getting to know people from around the world and getting to know different parts of Hong Kong. It was such an enriching experience, this is why I would repeat it and recommend my family and friends to take it, as I will never forget these past few weeks and the people that i met.
I would suggest you to take part in the course, I am sure that will be a enjoyable and memorable experience.

"Great Mandarin courses"

Kevin Foster

For the purpose of practicing my Mandarin speaking and writing, I went to Hong Kong this summer vacation. It is really my pleasure to come to Focus Mandarin to take part in the summer program. In the program, it provides us with great Mandarin courses. I assure that when I tell this wonderful experience to my friends, I, absolutely feel like I am introducing my friends to someone else. If I have some rest time in the future, I am desperate to go back to Hong Kong again and meet you guys one more time.

"Will do it again with Focus Mandarin!"

Nicola Hayes

Amazing! One of the best experiences of my life!

I attended the summer course in the summer of 2018 for 6 weeks.
It was a blast! The best part of the summer course was the people I got to meet there. I made this amazing circle of friends and extended friends which is still going strong even now!

Another advantage is the Focus Mandarin campus situated in the heart of Hong Kong - provides you with easy access to everywhere in the city and Hong Kong itself is the perfect gateway to the rest of Asia.

Their summer course also provided a lot of cultural exposure, from music to the best food one can have.

I would definitely recommend everyone to go for Focus Mandarin summer course and have the time of life.
