Dance course has really helped my confidence, not just in speaking Mandarin, but my overall mindset and study habits as well. It helped me get over my fear of speaking on camera. And with that, realizing that to make real progress, I needed to really step out of my comfort zone, which this course did for me, and also made me stop being afraid to make mistakes, as I really understood then that making those mistakes was high. To make progress. The confidence that I have gained from this also translates to my language partner conversations, which has made a huge improvement in speaking as well, because thanks to this course, I'm happier to speak Mandarin to them and have them correct me and we get more meaningful conversations that way. My favourite thing about the course would be the feedback and encouragement from Dan. I find it very motivating to get such detailed feedback on things like tones, pronunciation, grammar and vocab as well. To be able to implement that and get feedback in real time on how I was improving and what things I still needed to check on. I find that very motivating and needed that daily accountability to keep me going. I also find that the topics that we covered were really interesting and it helped me really find my voice in Mandarin, which was amazing because it made me want to communicate my thoughts and feelings even more on topics that I hadn't even begun to cover at all yet. So I would 100% recommend this course to anyone that feels that they are not confident in speaking in Mandarin yet. I think beginners and intermediate learners would really benefit from it. I have gone from thinking that speaking Mandarin was months down the line, nowhere near ready yet, and I had a list of things I felt I needed to do first to going to speaking every single day. Absolutely loving it, grabbing any opportunity I can to speak Mandarin and that is 100% down to this course. So highly recommend it. Thanks.
