Dear Apple,
As a manager who has been traveling to China for more than 15 years, I can say that these lessons are VERY useful to the beginning Mandarin student.
I took classes at a local college, but I have had more success in learning Chinese via your online class than any other way.
Your e-book with embedded audio is PERFECT for studying via computer or my cell phone. My staff in Beijing has noticed a marked improvement in my pronunciation since using your system.
In fact, I have noticed that often people in the Beijing office cease talking, or poke their friends to alert them when I enter the room! What better compliment to my Chinese can there be?
In fact, I have purchased a set for my oldest child, who will study Chinese in High School next year. I want her to have good grades, and I don't worry about foreign languages anymore!
Apple, can you do Algebra e-books? :)

Hi Apple,
I’ve been your loyalty listener of Chinese music program since last year. I love it! Thank you for the fantastic job you’ve done! You have become my personal idol. I am a beginner-to-intermediate Chinese speaker, and I want to tell you that thanks to you I can have a chance to learn to sing Chinese songs and enjoy Chinese music. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude towards you. I sincerely thank you for your great work and I hope you will continue teaching us!
Thanks again!

Miss Apple,
I want to tell you how thankful I am for your Mandarin lessons. I am now working in China and I feel it is a necessity to learn Chinese. I began by trying to teach myself, using books and CDs with limited success. However, since starting your program my language skills have improved measurably. I owe my success to you, and I thank you very much.

Hi Apple, I want to thank you for your Mandarin Chinese lessons. I have taken three other language courses but in none of them did I progress as swiftly as I have in your course.

Hi Apple,
I think I talk for a lot of folks when I thank you for your outstanding program. I am sure everyone is getting as much out of these lessons as I am. My Chinese friends are impressed with how well I speak their language including the precise way I pronounce the words.

Miss Apple,
You have developed a wonderful way to teach a very difficult language. You have made this experience so much more enjoyable than I ever thought possible.

Dear Miss Apple,
I sure wish I had learned about your website earlier. I have been in Beijing for just about five years now and my attempts at learning the language have had marginal affect on my abilities to speak Chinese with any confidence until I started your classes. Now I feel much more comfortable in my efforts to appear like a local.

Apple, I just wanted to thank you for your ebooks and lessons in Mandarin Chinese. The only other language I’ve taken was French in High School and College. I never thought that I could enjoy learning another foreign language especially Chinese! Chinese is complicated and takes a while to get down but it is worth it. Your pronunciation and well thought out ebooks and language programs are great. Thank you for taking the time and effort to teach Mandarin and made online study so effective for me!

Hi Apple,
I just wanted to say thank you very much for offering your lessons online. I use to live in HongKong, but now live in the Canada and was looking for a refresher way to learn Mandarin and your website make Chinese study very easy to follow! I can learn pure “Beijing hua” from a native Beijinger. I like your “accent” very much. Thank you so much. I appreciate the time and effort you put into all the Chinese language programs, ebooks and your website.

Dear Ms Apple,
Just a quick thank you for your wonderful Chinese learning website. I have downloaded the free pinyin ebook and followed the audio program for it. The way that you have presented them has been great. I think I have mastered the pronunciation of Mandarin very well by your help without taking private lessons. Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to help us English speakers to learn Chinese.
Yours Sincerely,
Banitt Brad, London Britain

Dear Apple, thank you so much for your e-books and teaching programs. They are really the way to learn Mandarin. I’ve been a foreign student in the universities and had private tutors but have not been as satisfied with those teaching methods as your course. They are really wonderful programs and well appreciated. Also your accurate Pu Tong Hua (Standard Chinese) pronunciation really helps me a lot.
Thanks again,
