My impression about Mandarin Plus  

I have participated the first course of classes which were held in IAESTE China office. After two weeks I felt that my lexicon has so much replenished. Our teacher has applied great efforts in order to give us the maximum useful vocabulary, necessary in our daily life. She talked to us on topics which really were necessary for us every day. Attitude in classes were really friendly, we asked questions, played dialogues, out of classes we could ask always questions which we were interested in by the e-mail.

I am very happy that this program was organized by IAESTE and that the students having internship in China will have a possibility to learn language. I hope that also I’ll have an opportunity to attend the second course of these classes. Certainly great part of our results  depend on the teacher, and teaching methods therefore when I have started to realize that I understand what people in the streets and in shops talk about, I had only one desire – to tell: “xie xie Lao shi!”
