Elizabeth's Experience

What appealed to me most about One Month Mandarin was the eclectic approach, integrating the best of many different programs. I also liked the emphasis on spoken Chinese and the way they utilized technology through computer programs and the Palm. The excursions were also fun, and very useful for trying out Chinese in real-life situations. But the best aspect was the way that both Matt, who runs the program, and Kat, my teacher, customized the lessons for me, adapting to my language level and to my unpredictable schedule. They anticipated my needs and were just terrific all around. I would highly recommend the program to anyone who wants to get comfortable speaking Mandarin fast.
