What students say when they leave
The first time a taxi driver understood my directions without me repeating myself, I actually cried a little. That's Capital Mandarin.
A welcoming atmosphere and a pace I could actually keep up with. I advanced more in a few months here than in two years at home.
Every lesson was prepared thoughtfully. I looked forward to class, which I haven't said about any school since I was a child.
