The set of videos that Silk Mandarin uses are exceptional. They cover grammar and vocabulary in a way that supports the live lessons perfectly. The course material, curriculum, approach, and videos are rock-solid. I was worried about how much I could really learn online, but the combination of self-study videos and interactive classes made a huge difference. My Chinese learning adventure will definitely continue with Silk Mandarin.

The materials are useful, and there are many videos that explain the grammar points and the new vocabulary. I did the course with Qiying, and she is a great teacher. I can tell she really enjoys teaching Chinese and that she enjoys watching her students progress. The set of videos that Silk Mandarin uses are exceptional. They are meant to build upon the HSK2 grammar and vocabulary, and they are extremely helpful. I think the videos are a key part of the multi-pronged approach Silk Mandarin uses. I highly recommend Silk Mandarin.

I’ve had a great experience with Silk Mandarin. I’ve been with them for about a year and felt really well supported throughout the whole challenge of learning Chinese. The online course gave me structure, but the self-study videos allowed me to review and practice at my own pace. This combination of teacher support and flexible video learning made it possible for me to progress far more than I expected. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to learn Mandarin!

I was amazed by the way they use the blended learning materials which can help so much with self-learning. I did the Level 3 one-on-one class online learning with teacher Yanqin. My Chinese is improving a lot. I would definitely recommend Silk Mandarin to anyone who wants to learn Chinese effectively. The flexibility of the online program together with the self-study videos really supported my learning process.

What I liked most was that the video explanations supported each lesson. I could go back to the videos after class and reinforce what I had just learned. Silk Mandarin provided exactly what I needed: a balance of self-study videos and live teaching that worked perfectly for my schedule. I will continue with them for the next HSK level.
