Learning HSK2 with Silk Mandarin Language Training Institute
I signed up for HSK2 with Silk Mandarin after struggling on my own for 3 years trying to teach myself Mandarin. I was learning from apps and even took some other Chinese courses online. I was frustrated. I found Silk Mandarin, did a free trial-course, and really liked what I experienced. I’m glad I did. I love the small class sizes, world-class teachers, and the methodical, consistent, and rigorous curriculum and approach they use to teach you everything you need to know to advance. Though the HSK2 book was the basis of the course I took, it was so much more. My teacher, Qiying was stellar. She was patient, knew how to assess my abilities and improve them, and held me accountable for performance and homework. She went above and beyond what you’d expect in a language course and taught me about the language, not just the mechanics. You can’t help but learn with Silk Mandarin’s approach and the experienced teachers they have. I don’t think there’s any other way you can really learn a language after my experience with Silk Mandarin. I felt like I was back in College, and that was a good thing. As difficult as it is to learn Chinese, Qiying and Silk Mandarin made learning achievable, and for the first time in over 3 years, I finally felt like I was making progress. My teacher and Silk Mandarin gave me hope and helped me realize that I can achieve my goals and learn Chinese with their help and by doing the work. I had one other student in my class so there was no hiding - I had to participate, which made me learn. I also learned from my classmate. My two classes per week became the high point of my week. I was very pleased with the 90 minute classes, small class size, and the teaching points, but above all, the pure experience and teaching abilities of Qiying were world class. She was my guide on this HSK2 journey, and her patience, experience, knowledge, and desire that I learn made all the difference in the world. I don’t know anywhere else that a person can find this kind of instruction and experience to help them, and the price is very reasonable considering what you get for the money. A semester college class in the USA cost more and doesn’t give you the value that Silk Mandarin does. I’m so happy with my experience that I’ve already signed up for HSK3 at Silk Mandarin and intend to follow with HSK4 - HSK6. I don’t know how long it will take me to achieve my goals, but it doesn’t matter because I know I’ll be learning. I’m so impressed with my teacher, Qiying; she’s fluent in English, knew what I struggled with, assessed my abilities, and helped me advance. She is a first-class teacher. I have a lot of work to do to achieve my final goals in Chinese fluency, but I now know it can be done after taking HSK2 with Silk Mandarin. I love Silk Mandarin and my teacher and truly appreciate their help. For the first time since I’ve begun my Chinese learning journey, I finally feel like I’m making progress because of the help I’m getting from them. They are awesome! This was an exciting, stellar, and amazing journey that prepared me for my continued learning adventure in Mandarin - and that adventure will be with Silk Mandarin. Daniel Bradford
