Description of service

I enrolled myself to learn Chinese as i thought that it would be quite useful in my future plans as i frequently interact with Chinese people as a part of my business. I was charged $110 for the entire course which lasted for about three and half months. The fee included the cost of study material. There were two classes a week and each class lasted for approximately two hours.


Review of Service

I believe that that the service i received was not very good as compared to the price that i had to pay. Though we were provided with some CDs and a couple of books that we had to complete at home, the quality of teaching was not upto the mark. A lot of time was devoted to the origin of Chinese language and the Chinese culture, which i believe was not required.


Tips

Do ask for a couple of trial classes before finally enrolling and decide whether you are comfortable with private or group lessons. Private lessons are a bit expensive. You must practice a lot as Chinese is a very difficult language. Never go in for online lessons. Use the new language at the institute so that you can feel comfortable.
