Bagian terbaik dari sekolah ini adalah kesabaran yang dimiliki instruktur dan waktu untuk fokus pada hal-hal dasar seperti pengucapan.

Nama saya Sarah Fish. Saya 81. Saya tahu sedikit bahasa Mandarin ketika saya tiba. Bagaimana saya bisa bertahan selama 2 minggu kursus bahasa Mandarin intensif? Saya harus tertawa ketika saya memikirkan itu sekarang. Sungguh pengalaman yang positif! Saya benar-benar berharap kita bisa berada di sini lebih lama lagi. Para guru sangat membesarkan hati, mengevaluasi terlebih dahulu seberapa banyak yang diketahui seseorang dan kemudian mulai dari sana.
Saya pikir lingkungan belajar bahasa Mandarin di sini sangat bagus. Metode pengajarannya juga sangat interaktif dan menyenangkan. Yang paling saya nikmati di sini adalah kenyataan bahwa guru saya tidak berpegang teguh pada buku teks. Kami menghabiskan banyak waktu untuk membahas topik umum, seperti budaya China, berita dunia, ekspresi khas yang digunakan oleh masyarakat setempat. Kami juga membahas topik sosial dan ekonomi.
