I was referred to eChineseLearning from a friend of a friend who's son was learning Mandarin. I was so impressed by how much they raved about it, I wanted to see what it was really like. My daughter and I took the first free lesson and she responded so well to it, we went ahead and did six months. She looks forward more to her Mandarin lessons than any school or dance classes. I'm thrilled with how she's improving and her performance outside of the classes--i can see she feels more confident in other academic areas because of her ability in this one. So worth it!
