See what other students say about us

• Since childhood my mother, a teacher herself, used to encourage me in hard learning times. She said: there is no bad pupil for a good teacher. I am a testimony for this idiom. I jut got a very good result in HSK3. It is thanks to my teacher Mandy, whom I adore for many years. She is devoted, intelligent and works at least as hard as I do to help me develop my Chinese. I thank Mandy with all my heart.

And this just happens because I have an excellent teacher.I am very thankful of Hanbridge Mandarin having such outstanding Chinese teachers such as“郜老师”! It is because of you that I earned such a privilege from my company.In addition to these excellent Chinese lessons, thanks to Hanbridge Mandarin Chinese corner, I can now pay with “微信”.

  Caroline Green Canada

• When I first joined Hanbridge Mandarin, I had a limited knowledge of Mandarin. I was assigned two excellent and capable teachers, Shasha Liu (刘莎莎) and Lilian Li (李艺妍), and under their tutelage completed HSK 3 within 40 lessons. Both are cheerful, professional and very approachable. They can relate to my learning requirements and apply different strategies to maximise my learning outcomes. I have just re-enrolled with Hanbridge, with Shasha Liu (刘莎莎) and Lilian Li （李艺妍） as my teachers, to continue my studies and prepare for the HSK 4 & 5 examinations.
  
  There is also an excellent student support service team, which is always ready to resolve any problems. Lynn (卢莹), in particular, is always ready to lend a hand.
  
  
  Danny Lee Australia

• Lilian is a very fluent English speaker, which helps me a lot to follow the lessons efficiently. I really appreciate her customer orientation and her flexibility on the lesson times. Usually I book lessons on the weekend, never had a problem regarding this. We discussed that I may join the HSK2 test in a couple a months, which is a great motivation because it was also done early in the process. So overall I can highly recommend Hanbridge as a language school and especially Ms. Lilian Li as a trainer.

• My teacher has been very patient with me in learning how to pronounce the Chinese words with the proper tones. My teacher is keeping me on pace to be able to complete the HSK #1 before I exit this position.The teacher and coordinator have been so helpful in making the lessons convenient. And the teacher is very helpful and allows me to deviate on interesting topics (learning new words and characters) during class instead of just sticking to a script. Class is one of my favorite parts of the week! Yes! The lessons are well-prepared, the teachers are very helpful, and the curriculum is very well-organized!

  Caroline Burland France

• Learning Mandarin has been a passion of mine for the last few years. Learning any language is so much more than just learning language syntax and words; it’s about immersing yourself in the culture and understanding more about how people in other places think, along with learning so many new things about their way of life that is different to your own. I also wanted to not just learn but to measure my learning, so I decided to take the HSK exams. Last year I passed HSK 3 and my plan for this year is to try to pass HSK 4. I feel like I’m well on the path to doing so. Online Mandarin training direct from China has accelerated my learning significantly. This year, I’ve been studying with the team at Hanbridge and they’ve helped to keep my on track and learning rapidly. My goal of higher HSK levels is well in sight.

  Fiona Tisdall Blake Australia

• My mother tongue is English.I can also speak French and Spanish.Chinese is my forth language.I like learning languages, and I want to learn more about Chinese culture. I had learned Chinese from other teachers in America before starting with Hanbridge. I think Hanbridge is very good because I much prefer Hanbridge's teaching approach. Instead of just learning little pieces or just learning small couple of words that the book teaches. My teacher gives me more words around one topic that I can understand a full conversation, then we practice...
  
  
  Valerie de Charette America

  Yuka Japan

• The Webex online class normally works well but disconnect occasionally, it’s better to use skype for backup. The teachers are fantastic. I would like to adjust the history course of Ming dynasty to some others in the future. I suggest you all communicate with students by Chinese including email; Chinese version website is also in need.
  
  
  Mathew America

• My teachers are great, wonderful. I just wish the teachers will use more of the vocabulary/sentence pattern that I previously learned in the News classes. Also, when I learn a new word I hope the teachers can give me few sentence examples too.
