Testimonial

" I have studied at NCM for 9 months now and I had 2 very good teachers.

My current teacher has a lot of class experience especially with foreign issues. She knows how to raise our curiosity about the language and Chinese culture.

The course material is good and we have online exercises as well as the lessons in the book. That’s very helpful because I can review all the subjects when I am home and practice what I have learned even more.

I have developed my Chinese knowledge a lot with the help of NCM.

Each day I can communicate even better with the Chinese people.

It is really rewarding when I can order food for me and my family at a Chinese restaurant or go shopping and be able to bargain in Chinese. "

" New Concept Mandarin was a great solution to get my level of Chinese up to speed within a very short period of time.

Whether online, private or the group immersion, the company made every effort ot focus on my delivemental needs. The teachers I had were professional and took teaching Chinese very seriously.

I was surprised at just how quickly I was able to not only learn, but actually use Chinese in everyday situations outside of the classroom.

From my perspective, I can certainly recommend New Concept Mandarin. "

" What I have to say about NCM first of all is that the course is effective. I had never learned so much of a language in such a short time - especially such a different language from my own. After just the first module (Survival 1) I was already getting more used to the Chinese language tones and I was able to understand Chinese better. After Survival 2 I could already have some conversation as well as do many useful things in Chinese like booking a ticket or a hotel. The course is very down to earth and does help with daily language use. And the interesting thing is that we learn without noticing, without much effort. One day you don't know much and when you realize you are already speaking Mandarin. It is so great! I mean, so many people say that learning Mandarin is so difficult! I don't think so! At NCM it feels easy.

My husband is even happier than I am that I am learning so much and I can already tell the drivers where to go, or ask information about a place, or talk on the phone to Chinese people because he gets off having to go through that kind of ordeal!! Now whenever he needs to communicate in Chinese, he calls his translator: me!

The material used at NCM is pleasant and focused on what really matters. The lessons are very clear and well distributed.

My teacher is really good. She is an experienced teacher and she knows how to conduct the class in a natural pace. She explains all the subjects very clearly and provides many different exercises that make the class interesting. She also encourages enough practice in class so that to make sure we do learn and understand everything . I also enjoy the often exchange of cultural issues in class. Learning a country's culture is very important to understand its language.

As a bonus, my teacher is a very pleasant and helpful person, as well as all the staff at NCM.

I do recommend NCM for learning Mandarin. I am sure you will be well satisfied with your progress. "

" Having previously taken a Mandarin language course only on the weekends, I found the long lapse of time between classes to be an ineffective learning method. Then along came NCM. With the ability to balance a flexible method and a structured approach, NCM greatly increased my language ability. Having just completed Survival Level II, I was able to incorporate two classes a week because of NCM’s willingness to work with my busy schedule.

My teacher kept the classes fresh and interesting, encouraging my curiosity to learn, sometimes tailoring the program to my individual needs and interest and at other times returning to the outlined material in the program. My teacher is both knowledgeable and skilled. She puts effort and time into each class and cares about teaching. As important to her commitment for learning, she aims to keep things balanced with fun and practicality.

NCM provides the best of both worlds in having both the resources of a larger school with personalized touch of friendly and caring teachers. "

" We strongly recommend New Concept Mandarin language training. They have connected us with a language expert who understands both English and Chinese thoroughly, prepares for each class completely, demonstrates patience without questions, and provides a fun learning experience. The time spent in class is focused, well-paced, and the content of our lessons is very relevant to real life situations that we encounter in our daily lives. Thank you so much for your help. The very best! "

" I have been working and living in China for nine years. When I arrived I spoke no Chinese. For those nice years I was pocking up Chinese through informal classes and SCIF study. Though I was progressing alright I felt I needed a boost. Since working with my teacher for less than a year, I believe I have experienced exponential growth. In my language, and more importantly, ability to express and understand complex conversations. I believe I will be able to conduct all our meetings in Chinese in the next 6 months. I am kicking myself for not studying with them years ago. "

" Bruce enjoys learning Mandarin with us through both online course and Chinese tutorial live as he travels regularly. He loves the flexibility and convenience learning with us as long as he's got the internet connection anywhere. He can practice what he's learnt and re-study Chinese words that he's problem with through online course before he visits our instructor online.

" I have just finished a module of 95 hours of Mandarin course with New Concept Mandarin. We were a small group of 6 students and the teacher came twice per week to our company to provide an excellent teaching. I really appreciate the flexibility, the quality of the teaching and the availability of our teacher. At the end of the survival level, my mandarin level allows me to have a simple communication with Chinese both at work and in my personal activities. As a conclusion, I would recommend New Concept Mandarin to any newcomer in Shenzhen so as to acclimatize quickly. "

" I have had an excellent experience using New Concept Mandarin as my Mandarin tutor. The classes were well structured and really reinforced my learning. The different activities ensured that I never got bored and the teacher was professional, experienced and always cheerful. She adjusted our classes to suit the topics that we were interested in and she also quickly figured out which learning techniques worked best in our class. She really helped to get an understanding for Chinese culture as well, not just the language.

The support materials provided were the best I’ve ever seen. The book provided clear and easy-to-follow lessons and the audio CD really helped in building and remembering vocabulary.

A recent holiday in the north of China proved the effectiveness of the New Concept Mandarin training, where I successfully used Mandarin to buy train tickets, food, accommodation and even chatted a little bit with some local people. Thank You New Concept Mandarin "

" The course is well-structured so that I am learning Chinese that is useful to me in everyday life. Lessons are taught extremely well and my teacher gives me plenty of time to practice during class so that I know the vocab and grammar before I leave. Chloe also prepares the lessons according to what I like and not just from the topics in the textbook which makes learning a lot easier and what I am learning more useful to me.

She caters the course according to my needs so I don't think it can be improved. I have studied at a lot of different schools and NCM is by far the best, the teaching quality is excellent, and all the staff are friendly and helpful. "
