"eChineseLearning has helped me learn Mandarin easily and at my own pace. Both teachers and the support team have worked with me during the past two years. I worked with my one primary teacher and also four secondary teachers, all of whom have been wonderful and kept an eye on my progress and needs. The support team helps a lot as well in getting started and using the online environment. As an academic faculty member and researcher for over 30 years, I was very careful during my search for and selection of an instructional program to help me learn Mandarin. I found the one-to-one instruction using a Skype environment to provide a direct and important presence by the faculty members. I will continue to take Mandarin classes with eChineseLearning until I am fluent and can easily travel and work in China."
