My daughter Andrea is in high school and she used to learn Chinese with a private tutor. However, her schedule often has conflict with Andrea's schedule, so she had to quit. Now with eChineseLearning, we can take lessons according to our schedule and she takes the lesson twice or three times a week. It also helps a lot that she can talk to a teacher from China directly!

I do enjoy my Chinese lessons and I have told my friends about how wonderful this program is. I am impressed with my teacher's ability to adjust her teaching according to my needs. I appreciate her many emails as well. Minnie, thank you for your customer support work behind the scenes!

I knew almost nothing about Chinese before; but in just 3 months I am pretty confident that I can express myself in Chinese! This is not magic, I worked hard on it. It also helps me a great deal that my teacher constantly corrects my pronunciation and works on my weaknesses in the class.
