Our Happy Students!

I am a retired Professor of French, who spent a career directly engaged in supervising language-learning classes. In my long experience, I have never encountered a more brilliant language teacher than Dina Shen, whose school, Fast Learning Chinese, should serve as a model for how to teach the Chinese language.

After having taken 3 levels of Fast Learning Chinese (with no prior exposure to the language), I am amazed by the level I have achieved and by how much I can say, write and understand the Chinese language. I know that my accomplishments are undoubtedly a result of your undeniable talent as a language teacher. I, myself, am a French teacher, so I know a good teacher when I see one.

Dina eschews rote memorization and instead teaches you character mnemonics that are so useful, you can soon guess the meaning of characters you've never seen before. Dina also teaches you a foundation in grammar syntax with heuristics so you can quickly construct your own full sentences with ease. Dina makes learning Mandarin fast and fun, you will learn Mandarin better than even some native Chinese.
