Student's Words

Why do I need Miracle Mandarin? Let me break it down for you: 1.Superb Visa and residence permit assistance – Always the bane of any foreigners stay in China. 2.Convenient locations throughout Shanghai – Especially the FuXing Rd campus. 3.Comfortable class sizes –Which enable suitable discussion to develop, but not so big that you feel like you don’t get a chance to practice your new language. (I have never had more than 8 people in a class) 4.Warm, happy, smiling people – Both staff and teachers who actually enjoy working with foreigners, and who also understand that sometimes we think a little bit differently! 5.Modern clean classrooms and facilities – With table layouts enabling easy conversation. (Also a very tasty hot chocolate machine, that I think makes me a little sleepy!) 6.Great language partner coordination – MM is happy to connect you with a local Chinese student who wants to do a language exchange, giving you the chance to actually use the words that you learnt that day! 7.AWESOME TEACHERS – Who although like to keep you on your toes, are always happy to revisit a topic that you might be a little confused about. I have been studying at MM since September 08 and all of my friends, especially my Chinese friends, have all commented on how far my Chinese has come in this short time. I know I have a long way to go to really be fluent, but I know that MM can help me get there! Below is my translation attempt at the above text after 6 months of study with MM…if you think its ok, then come and join in the fun!

At MM, the teachers genuinely seem to enjoy their students. This relationship, which often becomes a first friendship in China helps motivate students to learning. For a long time, I will remember the time I was invited to Karaoke by my teacher, the time another teacher lent me a Chinese DVD or the time the whole class hung out at a coffee shop. In fact, soon after starting the first semester, our teacher even took us to a neigborhood grocery for some survival tips. Besides the teachers, I appreciate how seriously management takes my feedback and how attentive the course advisors are, always placing me in an appropriate level, month after month. The courses, tailored to the type of student (part-time / full-time intensive / business Chinese / HSK exam Chinese..) allow for you to learn with people who have the same motivation as you do.

I have been extremely satisfied with both the quality of the teachers as well as the class content itself. The atmosphere is intimate and intense, but not intimidating. Classes are set up in a horseshoe style which is conducive to conversation and full participation. Also, a huge benefit is the reasonable prices and the fact they could offer me a Student Visa. I have loved my time of this school.

(This is translated from her recommendation letter in Chinese). The classmates are serious learners and very motivated. The teacher is humorous, energetic, and smart in making difficult questions simpler.

Having studied 4 months with Miracle Mandarin, I can really recommend their courses. My progress was rapid. And now it’s so much simpler going about everyday life, as I am now able to communicate effectively. I also recommend you learn the characters, as this also helped with my comprehension.
