Recently I’ve spent three months at a Chinese university, where we learned 70 to 80characters per week in a class mixed with Asians who already knew the characters. No disrespect to traditional teaching methods, but our Western brains must be wired different. After three months of full time study, I had learned a lot of words but wasn’t able to put many sentences together. Finding Capital Mandarin School was like a dream, with teaching staff who make special effort to teach efficiently what a student needs. The staff tries to mach students whose levels are as close as possible, and in smaller class groups. The teachers are professional, with good English that is only used when necessary, and are as flexible as possible with class scheduling.
Because of special introductory offers Capital Mandarin is less expensive than universities, but even at twice the price, Capital Mandarin would still be of more value for efficient learning.

I have thoroughly enjoyed learning Chinese at Capital Mandarin School .I love the fact that the teachers are flexible and lessons are tailored to individual needs, be that business Chinese, or just learning the everyday basics. I cannot believe how much I have learned in just a few weeks.
