Are you trying to learn to speak Mandarin Chinese, but don't know where to learn it? From a recent experience, I have come to the conclusion that it is best to learn through an online course.
Here's my story- My wife is from Hong Kong, China, and we planned to go there and visit her parents. I knew it would be no fun going to a foreign country without being able to speak English to anyone except my wife.
I decided to enroll in a four week class that promised to teach me everything I needed to know about the Chinese language. My first impression of the class was pretty confused. The teacher had a rough Mandarin accent that I could not understand, and the class was too large to ask questions.
The teacher also expected us to have some sort of background when we walked into the class. I was lost from day 1, and made very little progress until the final day. Now my wallet was heavily dented, and I had made no improvement.
That's when I decided that I need to try something else. I searched and searched online, until I found the perfect program to teach me how to speak Mandarin Chinese. Here are some of the advantages that I found with the online program;
ADVANTAGE 1- I could actually UNDERSTAND the online tutorials because they had no accents!
ADVANTAGE 2- The PRICE was actually affordable
ADVANTAGE 3- 100% money back guarantee (not that I needed it)
So after it all, I ended up going to Hong Kong and being able to engage in conversations with her relatives. The great part of it is, I can continue to look back at the program ANYTIME I have a question, so I can continue to make progress in learning to speak Mandarin Chinese online
