•  "The entire experience was seamless, the quality of teaching very professional and quite immersive in nature, and the small class environment provided the support and motivation I needed to keep going.  If you are interested in learning a new language, no need to look any further."
Adam

•  "The teacher was dynamic and friendly and focused, not only on propelling us forward in our language learning, but really bringing a lot of the cultural context that is so important and useful for beginners (Prob good for all levels, but I can only speak from my experience). Classes are small and participative."
Miriam

•  "I had studied Mandarin in college and decided to get back to it after an almost 10 year break. The idea was to brush up my old skills and hopefully even make some progress. Rachel, the director of ABC, also speaks Mandarin (among several other languages) and was very helpful in assessing my level and getting me into the right class. She placed me in an intermediate class with two other students and Judy who turned out to be an incredible teacher.

Judy always had an arsenal of fun activities up her sleeve and did not rest until she knew that we all actually understood and could use what she had taught.  Also, my classmates were both really cool and we ended up going out together a few times to check out Chinese restaurants and get some additional conversation practice. I would definitely recommend ABC."
