Irene Smith

I attended AP Chinese preparation course for three months in Hanbridge Mandarin School. Now I passed the AP Chinese test, I want to say thank you to my teacher Shasha.
Kevin Turner

I am enjoyed my AP Chinese class with Shiny so far, she´s dynamic, funny, and enthusiastic, well nothing to worry about, I have the feeling my Chinese level is becoming better. I am ready for the AP Chinese test now.
Jackie

My kids loved this camp! It was a good experience. They had a great time and learnt Chinese in a fun and efficient way without even realizing it. The activities they arranged were fascinating, like paper cuttings, calligraphy, painting, were their favorite ones. Thank you Hanbridge Mandarin teachers, you are all nice and polite. We will miss Hanbridge Mandarin very much in near further. Highly recommended!
Sylvain Serrano

Nice lessons, very interesting to learn Chinese but with teacher's clear explanations, it is even better. Lot of expressions and ways of speaking/thinking are different in Chinese than in an EU language, these are difficult to understood without a henhao laoshi.
Halima ALNET

My child is 11 years old. He didn't like to learn Mandarin before because he thought Chinese pronunciation is very hard. Now he learns Chinese Phonetics course and general Chinese course in Hanbridge Mandarin for 3 months, he is more and more love Mandarin. He said class content is very interesting. I think Hanbridge Mandarin teachers are very professional and they can catch kids' attention.
Yuka

So far I'm satisfied with the daily course class. My teacher is really helpful and the way her teach is easy to understand. I feel very good.

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.
