What our learners say
I have been taking lessons at Berlitz for five months and I know so much Mandarin already it's awesome. Maylin is a really good teacher, she is really kind and fun to talk to. The reception staff and everyone that works there is pleasant, and have been available to talk when I needed them. By far the most encouraging educational experience I've had since I can remember.
