I have studied in two other Mandarin schools (one being in Shanghai as well) and Silk Mandarin is by far the best!!! They offer the best classes, very fun and dynamic, great teachers plus the super friendly staff!! They truly make you feel at home!! I once asked for the students to have more contact with the Chinese culture, and now, every Friday we have culture classes, and they are awesome!!! You can feel that they really care about the students and making them learn as fast as possible! I can already feel the difference in my Mandarin even with just a few classes!!! I would 100% recommend to everyone!!

“The teachers are not only very professional but also able to mix fun and learning at the same time. They follow their own scheme and structure for each class, and there is always a positive outcome. The precise and correct method allows you to reach your final goal. I have improved my Chinese level at a very fast pace and I can definitely say that in one month in silk mandarin I have learned more than I would ever expect before. Thank you 老师!!”

Silk Mandarin is the first language school I’m taking classes at, and for sure the best one. The school is located ideally in the center of Shanghai and in a new building, therefore the classrooms are perfectly equipped and the environment is nice.

Everyone is very welcoming and while enjoying some food or drinks (offered by Silk Mandarin) there’s the opportunity to meet new people who are living the same life as you, alone in a new city on the other side of the planet.

I’ve been here for 2 months now, and I can already say that Silk Mandarin made my life so much easier in China; I can already make myself clear when going grocery shopping or when ordering food in a restaurant.

If I had to do this again, for sure I will do it exactly the same. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn your beautiful language Silk Mandarin!

“After two years learning in a bigger Mandarin school I decided to choose Silk Mandarin for my further lessons. I was excited regarding the differences to my old school. And I was very surprised regarding the learning success. Then even after only some lessons, the improvement of my spoken Chinese was enormous. They only have very experienced full-time teachers which using advanced teaching methods The teaching books are up to date and not so old-fashioned like at my old school. And because the school is still not so big the atmosphere there is very familiar. So all in all the right choice for myself.”

“I was referred to Silk Mandarin by a friend and I have never looked back. The teachers have helped me pass my HSK 6 and I am very grateful to them for making it easy and fun for me.”

I have no bad word about this language school. The office building is very clean and new, unlimited coffee, tea and water (sometimes we even get food like Tony Chocolonely and fruit mmm), very warming atmosphere, professional, kind and patient teachers and very good study material (love the magic pen and flashcards, it helps you a lot and it’s a fun way to learn Mandarin). My teacher Jessica is absolutely sweet to her students! Her lessons are very efficient and fun. I don’t regret my choice at all. Two friends of mine took lessons here before me and recommended it to me. I recommended it to my exchange group and now there are 8 students from my group at Silk Mandarin and everyone is very satisfied. I would like to say a huuuge 谢谢 .

After trying many unsatisfactory Chinese schools, I have finally found in Silk Mandarin an effective Chinese program custom-tailored both to my language needs and my schedule at a very affordable rate. No matter what your goals are for studying Chinese, Silk Mandarin can build a curriculum to help you achieve them.

I’ve been living in Shanghai for over five years and tried many different schools. At Silk Mandarin I’ve had the best experience by far and always recommend it to my friends that need a place to study Chinese. They make it fun, they care about your learning, and it works… I started around HSK 2/3 level and am now 6. Have introduced many beginners also who loved it and still go many months after starting.
