Mandarin Course : Expectation vs Reality
In addition to the social need and looking for jobs, many foreigners are attracted by China’s rich and colorful history and human culture. However, whatever the reasons that urge them to start learning Chinese, they will find out in the end that at any stage of learning Chinese, if they want to achieve fluency, they need a mature Chinese language environment to achieve this goal. The problem is that it is difficult for many people to really move to China and live for a few years to learn Chinese. There is often a huge gap between ideals and reality. The problem facing overseas Chinese teachers and students is how to master the language in an immature or non-Chinese language environment.
Unless one is a language genius, ordinary people who want to overcome this will have to depend to a large extent on the teaching quality of the Chinese teacher; to see if the teacher can use diversified teaching methods in the classroom to reduce the learning pressure of students; effectively promote the classroom atmosphere and effectively encourage students to communicate in Chinese. Also, regards to how to review the exercises and so on. In addition, the teacher should also tailor a study plan that suits the students' different situations. Basically, students at different stages of junior high school and high school should have different learning plans.
Fortunately, Singapore is a predominantly Chinese country, and Chinese is the second official language. This learning environment is very suitable for junior and intermediate students. In recent years, as Chinese companies continue to set up bases in Singapore, Chinese talents also flow to Singapore in the past decades and this is good news for students learning advanced Chinese.
Whether you just begin to learn Chinese or a student who has been studying for a period of time, you must have discovered that learning Chinese will bring you a lot of fun and also great help in life and work. What I want to say is that we are in an era when the knowledge economy has exploded, it is different from the old age that relies on physical strength and industry; it pays more important to the mastery of multiple skills by individuals. As an important language skill, Chinese may need longer time to master in contrast to other languages. Comparing with the ever-changing computer technology, learning Chinese is actually a kind of self-investment that will be rewarded once and for all.

Keep your Chinese learning in progress
For example, I just remembered a few phrases and a few good words, but I could hardly use them when I was writing or interacting with people.
The following suggestions may help you:
1. Face-to-face communication with the Chinese; it is best to talk about actual projects or things - the advantage is that there are real scenes, a large amount of information exchange per unit time, and application of the information you learned at fast pace. The prerequisite is that you have to have enough basic knowledge of the language.
2. Read aloud a mainstream Chinese textbook, such as Hanban's HSK series of textbooks. Recording the reading 5 minutes a day. Don't underestimate these 5 minutes. Hold on for a month and you will find your listening, speaking and reading making great progress.
3. Make flash cards. In addition to virtual flash cards, such as Quizlet, we recommend that you write down the words if you have the time; the advantage is that it can be used to practice sentences or even a story. The process of memorizing involves familiarizing new words and thinking in Chinese will help a lot in learning the language.
The key is to turn these learning habits into routine; it is no problem to take a break but the most important thing is to persist in long run.

Set a practical goal
Intermediate and advanced level Chinese are one or two thousand or even thousands of words more than the basic Chinese, let alone grammar and rhetoric. It seems complicated and much more difficult to continue, how shall you continue the learning ? In fact, whether you are studying in the basic Chinese, intermediate or advanced level Chinese or business Chinese, as long as you are not eager to seek success and set a small goal each time that you can achieve, you will be able to succeed and learn.
Anxious to seek success is the biggest obstacle to adult learning. There is always not enough free time and energy to learn so if you give yourself a short-term goal that is difficult to achieve, isn’t that make it worse ?
Therefore, regardless of which stage of Chinese learning, we must know how to set short-term goals and urge ourselves to practice. If you have an experienced Chinese tutor, you can find your own small goals under her guidance and follow the teacher's practice to consolidate what you have learned and effectively accomplish your goals.

I finished one course of 2-people group lessons and signed up for more. Even with circuit breaker, we still do weekly Zoom tuition and the quality of the class is just as high.
Laoshi is great in that she tailors each lesson to our levels and picks vocabulary she thinks is most useful for us instead of just relying on the textbook. We have short oral presentations every week and she also provides us with extra language videos or links to supplement our learning.

I have been learning at Mandarin Plus for 5 months at classroom tuitions and online tuitions. Both are conducted by Ms.Selina effectively especially for oral practice. She is very patient and kind as well as professional. I really enjoy learning Chinese now.

Very satisfied with my learning experience. Staff are very responsive and transparent with rates and terms. Private class teaching method was very flexible. Our professor taught extra vocabulary so that we could immediately apply it to the workplace and business context. School is easily accessible cos of CBD location. Greatly recommend for foreigners who want to learn and improve Chinese.

Selina was recommended to me by one of my friend whose son had been enjoying taking lessons with her for a few years and was very satisfied with the level he had achieved. My children are French and respectively 16 and 13 year-old. They have been learning Chinese in school as a 2nd language and needed extra-teaching hours to improve their speaking and writing skills.
My son used to say that he hated Chinese language and was really unhappy to have to learn it. However, since he has started with Selina, slightly more than a year ago, his level has not only improved substantially but now also finds Chinese interesting and do not complain anymore before going to class.
His school Chinese teacher was impressed by his progression and participation in class.
I really recommend Selina; She is an excellent Chinese tutor.

I enjoyed 16 hours of one-to-one Mandarin classes which were tailored to my level of Mandarin (rusty, primary school level) and interests. The teacher was patient, good at listening and explaining, and responded to my interest in polishing my Mandarin whilst introducing a new level of technical and modern vernacular which I sorely lacked. By using various techniques, e.g. reading conversations, increasing relevant vocab in bitesized batches, looking at current news videos or documentaries, reading news items and blogs by the younger set, I was enthusiastically reintroduced to the modern world of Mandarin. We even looked at current websites. Much of my practice material was very relevant to the current affairs. Everything we worked on was recorded and shared with me via Google Docs. Excellent.
I have taken private Mandarin lessons from Lilian, who is a perfect teacher with well-prepared curriculum. Best place for beginners.
MandarinPlus has given me the confidence to communicate in Mandarin to my colleagues, patients at work, and with my friends. The lessons are well structured and they have flexible timings you can adjust to, depending on your schedule. The teachers are very dedicated to giving you the most out of the 1 hour or 1.5 h lessons and will make sure you understand everything before carrying on to the next lesson.
My teacher, Lilian W, is very credible, patient and willing to go the extra mile making sure my pronunciation etc. is perfect. The one-to-one classes are worth the money as they provide quality content. Certification is also given once you have completed any of the levels.
I worked with Selina for a period of two weeks in preparation for my undergraduate Chinese final. She was extremely helpful in ensuring my correct pronunciation and developing my conversational skills. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs to improve fast in a short period of time.
Selina who is the founder of Mandarin Plus is an excellent teacher. The lessons are adapted for my needs. She is patient, professional and fun. I highly recommend her to anyone! Feel free to get in touch with any questions.
One of the very few, if not the only school, where student’s progress placed first. Not only the course can be tailored to student’s needs, but the schedule. I think, the teacher’s approach and attitude to teaching makes the whole difference.
