Exceeded all expectations
I spent a year with Xiaogua and went into it with what I figured were fairly modest goals, just to be able to talk about my work with more ease and confidence. I studied Chinese through high school and college with pretty stagnant progress, only entering Xiaogua at an advanced beginner level. Throughout that year I found myself falling in love with the language all over again, my one and one teacher, group teachers, and classmates all making for an exceptional experience. I felt comfortable, supported and interesting in every conversation we had and managed to finish the program at an advanced level. Truly a worthwhile experience for any Chinese language learner.
