"I enjoyed attending Shirley's classes which I found interesting and fun. What I found especially useful and relevant was going through the newspaper article on Bear Stearns which helped to apply what we learned in class to real life situations."

"Learning to speak, read and write Mandarin should be a fun, yet educational process. Focus Mandarin is great place to learn, because the teachers are friendly and professional. As well, the program is flexible and can be designed to meet your specific needs. I personally started with minimal Mandarin speaking ability and can now use Mandarin in business meetings with no problem! The social activities are also very fun and allow you to meet other Focus Mandarin students who share your interest in speaking the language. I highly recommend Focus Mandarin!"

"It was a pleasure to learn Chinese with Shirley. Her fresh manner and methods conducting the lessons always encouraged me to try to keep pace. It was sometimes demanding but very efficient as a result -- that is what counts. After each lesson I had the good feeling of having made progress."

"Overall, I found Dina is an excellent teacher. Her way of teaching is very interactive, and she know how to arouse students' interest. This is important. I also appreciate her effort to bring in interesting articles or poems etc. for discussion. It is also important to correct students' pronunciation which she did well."

我對 Dina 老師的感覺如下:
1, 能教授學員正統的普通話
2, 個別讀音糾正, 讓學員更容易掌握正確發音
3, 教學方式生動有趣, 不沈悶
4, 範圍除書本外,內容還包括銀行日常用語, 讓學員活學活用
5, Role-play 讓學員更融入溝通
總而言之, 老師的教授讓我在台灣工作的三個月 (我剛剛回港吧), 有所發揮。
老師您說得對, 台灣人的華語和普通話是有點不一樣。
台灣的同事建議我留下, 多點實踐, 才講得一口流暢的普通話吧, 哈哈!
我永遠記住老師說: "Smile"!
