I have been associated with Confucius Institute at University of Mumbai since from year 2013. I won Confucius scholarship and came to China to learn Chinese and understand Chinese society, with each passing day, my interest and love towards the Chinese language and culture started taking deeper roots.

<p>Today numerous mandarin self-learning digital tools are freely available online and dedicating time and money to attend weekly classes might seem like a contentious idea, at least this was true in my case. However, having failed umpteenth times to sustain momentum through the self-learning/digitally assisted tools and denting my motivation in the process, I decided to enrol myself for HSK 1 short course at Mumbai University’s Confucius Institute. This turned out to be one of the better decisions that I have taken in my adult life. Enrolling for classes turned out to be an incredible intellectual journey in mandarin learning. These classes helped remove cobwebs from my brain which resistedlanguage learning.  I had the opportunity to study alongside a community of bright, passionate language learnerswho had deep respect for China’s long-standing culture and tradition. The classes were very well structured and were supported by relevant study material both in physical and digital form. However the distinguishing factor was our Teacher who worked twice as hard with us to bring discipline ,structure and fun to the mandarin learning process. Her individualistic attention to students who lagged in the class was noteworthy. Even though HSK 1 course is a small building block of a giant building known as mandarin language, however this block forms the core of thewhole structure of language learning. The successful completion of the course has given me the much necessary head start and boosted my confidence to navigate the complex world of mandarin learning. Such overwhelming has been the experience that I plan to return for HSK 2 classes soon. To individuals who have the passion and zeal for mandarin learning but aren’t sure about where to start, I would back HSK 1 course at Mumbai’s University’s Confucius Institute as their safest and best bet.</p>

<p>Confucius Institute has helped me to improve my Mandarin skills over the years. The teachers have been incredibly helpful and accessible throughout my time at the Institute. Confucius also boasts of a library which is a great asset.</p>

<p>I enrolled at the Confucius institute at University of Mumbai in 2017. In these  years I learnt not only about the language but also a lot about Chinese culture. The university provides  both native Chinese teachers and Indian teachers for the ease of students. Also the winter camps  arranged to China  give the necessary real life experience thereby giving a holistic learning environment. The teaching and non teaching staff is competent and friendly. In my experience this is by far the best institute to learn Mandrian in Mumbai in  terms of faculty, teaching quality, fees infrastructure and study material.</p>
