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!
