Linglong Laoshi made learning mandarin exciting and easy! I never thought I could learn as fast as I did! Even my Chinese, native-speaking friends were impressed with how well I could speak in such a short period of time! I felt more and more comfortable and confident speaking after each class.

I could not have asked for a better class. After completing this course, I feel like I have a much stronger foundation for learning Mandarin than I would if I continued trying to learn on my own. Every time we had class, it brightened my day.

There was always a lot of class participation and activities that challenged us to apply what we had learned. I appreciated all the constructive feedback and attention to detail during the classes and in the homework, it really helped me know what I was doing well, and what I needed to focus on improving.

Linglong does a great job of explaining the ins and outs of Mandarin with thoughtful and funny examples. The class was well worth the money and I enjoyed the class notes and structure and the effort she put into the class. Given the chance I will continue with her courses as I came away with a better understanding of the language, it's not that hard after all.

The course was just what I needed to get a solid understanding of Pinyin and the use of tones. Working in a small online classroom really helped to get some direct critical feedback on my speaking and how to improve the sound. The course has really helped me to kick start my Mandarin learning in the most positive way.

I absolutely loved the classes. Linglong is a lovely teacher and made the lessons fun and relaxed. I felt comfortable to keep trying, even though my tones and pronunciation needed a lot of work. She is well organized, too, and each lesson is well prepared.

The teacher always makes sure to correct mistakes and help us improve - each and every person, each and every time, which is so important as we learn from each other’s mistakes as well.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I was able to comprehend in a short time with her expert instruction. I think Linglong's ability to help anyone enunciate by describing position of the tongue and mouth was excellent. Made it much easier to pronounce sounds such as the final ü.

I love the class atmosphere! It’s difficult to cultivate a comfortable environment for beginners where it isn't scary to make mistakes, but Linglong Laoshi did this thanks to her fun personality and kind feedback. I honestly can't think of anything that needs improvement--it was the best language class that I've ever taken!
