• " I had previously studied Mandarin in France for a few years while working and I decided to continue on the same pace here in Guangzhou, i.e. 3 hours a week, but NCM's material is a lot more practical and fun. Survival 2 level gives a lot of satisfaction, making you able to communicate and improve your understanding skills in every day life in China, same with survival 3. I am now studying social 1 and though it required a lot of effort at the beginning, it is very interesting to start speaking about more abstract subjects and even basic aspects of Chinese manners and culture. NCM's method does meet the needs of expats in China.

  My teacher is great as she manages to get me through the lessons going slower or quicker according to my needs. Besides, she is flexible and understanding when my work does not allow enough time to study at home or requires a change of schedule. I am very happy with these classes and do recommend them to anyone who wishes to make significant progress in communicating in Mandarin. Of course studying Mandarin can be a life long achievement, but NCM definitaly makes it within reach for those who do not have time. So it's never too late. "

• " My classes were FANTASTIC and my teacher's teaching enabled me to truly "survive and thrive" in China. I've learned so much and I'll never forget it. It should be said that she was a truly exceptional teacher - funny, kind and patient. She taught me much beyond the language basics - I learned a ton about Chinese culture and norms. "

• " Having a basic knowledge of Mandarin from previous postings in China we wanted to build on that by increasing our vocabulary and actually getting to the stage where we could structure sentences and begin speaking, even though still at a basic level.

  We are currently in the middle of our level 3 survival course and we feel the methods used by New Concept Mandarin are helping us to achieve that already. Our teacher Chloe has been excellent (and very patient!), realising what our goals were, and the on-line course and text book work very well together. "

• " I have been studying twice a week at NCM for the past 8 months, which has been the best thing I could have done both for myself and my business. I have gained a great amount of respect from all of the Chinese people I deal with as I am starting to communicate with them in Mandarin. I have studied other languages at different schools in the past but I find the attitude and teaching methods at NCM to be the best and most modern I have ever experienced.

  The teachers are professional, personable and understand each student's needs and pace. I would highly recommend NCM to students of all levels. "
