Fast way to learn Chinese - I was traveling in Chengdu and encountered communication problem. I was really lucky to end up on this page as the service they're providing is excellent! Just in 3 hours I found out many interesting things about this beautiful city. it was enough to set good pronunciation and learn surviving chinese. Except of this, I also learnt a lot about Sichuan culture and local cousin. After finishing our class I had opportunity to practise it right away as we went to the local famous street and did some shopping together. I guess I'll need more of these classes. Hardly recommend!

Fantastic experience! - Really professionally-run company that provides a great way to experience Sichuanese food and Mandrain Class. Our teacher Daniel was really friendly and informative and learning to speak Chinese from him was really fun.After the 1.5 hour class, we went to a really small but cozy loacl noodles shop, I had a chance to test myself, and The lady understand very well!!! Can't wait to learn more Chinese from the E-book Daniel sent to me at home!

Learn key words and phrases to enrich your trip - I’m visiting China for 2 weeks. The 2hr lesson with Jean at a coffee shop went by so quickly. You learn the tones, numbers, key phrases (I want, where is, how much etc). Then we went to a store to practice! Of course you won’t be fluent in this time, and there are other ways to pick up basics, but I enjoyed meeting and interacting with a local resident. Jean was patient and friendly. One word of warning: my reservation was confirmed on my end, but due to VPN disruption, Jean never received notification. I had to reschedule my class for the following day by text msg. Not sure how to avoid this issue...class turned out great though!
