Testimonials

• "I came to Taiwan not knowing a single word of Chinese. GuavaTalk helped me feel more confident, more settled - from ordering food to buying everyday needs at the supermarket. Not only is it helping me, but it's saving my life here in Taiwan! I love GuavaTalk!"

• "I would recommend GuavaTalk to others seeking online Mandarin instruction for two reasons: quality of teaching and quality of customer support. The learning is individualized and supportive; both my wife and I feel that our teachers respond to our own individual needs. Customer support has consistently exceeded my expectations. In particular, the ease of rescheduling classes has been critical for my busy schedule. If you are serious about learning Mandarin, GuavaTalk is a very cost-effective way to proceed."

• "I've bought lots of books in the past, and have asked lots of Chinese-speaking friends to help me, but GuavaTalk is the only thing that has lasted more than a couple weeks (almost four months now! I have two classes a week that I can't put off, and I actually really look forward to them. GuavaTalk's teachers really helped me with the tones, and people no longer stare at me blankly when I attempt to speak Chinese."

• "I've been very happy with GuavaTalk's service and in working with my instructor. The instructor even adjusted the lesson content after I indicated that it seemed too focused on traditional classroom topics. Since I'm an executive in Silicon Valley, and have been out of school for many years, the instructor quickly switched from classroom-based topics to social and leisure topics more relevant to me."
