Key Language Training Inc.

Absolutely great experience. Classes are flexible and can be designed to what the student needs to develop in terms of their language skills, whether it be conversational or professional. My instructor Lucy is dedicated to her profession of helping others develop their language skills while always being extremely prepared, personable and caring. Suzanne maintains an informal, yet professional atmosphere with Key and its teachers which is very conducive to a very positive overall learning experience.

I found that two months of class at Key Language Training (KLT) surpassed two years of attempting to learn the language independently through various softwares. The teachers here encourage participation from each student in an engaging environment, allowing me and my fellow students to get lots of repetition in both speaking and listening.Now, I feel much more confident in my abilities to interact with others in Mandarin after just one semester at KLT, and I look forward to developing my language skills with the centre in the future.

I just finished Module 1 and really enjoyed it. KLT focuses on practical conversation language learning and Module 1 was a good foundation for this. Our instructor, Linda, is super knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and willing to tailor the content to the class' needs. The audio tracks for each chapter were helpful to become familiar with the sounds and pronunciation. I loved the class size (4 in our class) - perfect for language practice. I'm looking forward to continuing to Module 2 in the near future.

Completed Level 1 Mandarin at KLT.Although I had signed up for Richmond location, there weren't enough sign ups. Suzanne and Ping suggested me to shift to Downtown or Burnaby location. I chose Burnaby.Teacher Sophie was very patient and I definitely recommend her. Mandarin was a challenge for me, but she helped me to overcome my obstacles and made the experience an enjoyable one with her stories and videos.Another good thing is if you miss a class at one location you can catch up at another location. Class size is limited to a max of 4 people and this is almost like getting private tutoring. Teacher Wendy at Downtown location is also excellent.I would definitely recommend KLT for anyone planning to learn Mandarin in Metro Vancouver!

I have taken Mandarin classes for over a year now, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Key Language Training. Suzanne and Sophia are the best, so helpful and fun!! They really take teaching to a whole new level of experience.

One of the best experiences ever. I started taking classes at this awesome establishment in the summer, Mandarin being my fourth language to learn, I had some expectations, which they blew past. Classes are always designed small, which makes it possible for students to get more attention. Like many people, I came to Mandarin fully expecting it to be difficult, however, their style of teaching made me realize how easy it was. I just finished my second beginner module and couldn't be happier.

This is the second course I have taken at Key Language Training. The positive attitude of the staff and students is encouraging. The classroom and seating is comfortable and conducive to conversation. We tell stories of our week to the class and do weekly written assignments which the teacher corrects. This gives us the opportunity to practice new words and so our vocabulary increases every week. The class size is small and there is time to stop and ask for help if we don't understand.

My private lessons were very successful. I feel that I made significant progress and I can now converse confidently with my limited Mandarin. Sophia is a great teacher. She corrected my prononciation, taught me words and phrases and was very attuned to my needs.

Suzanne and her school Key Language training have been teaching me Mandarin and about Chinese culture for the past 4 years. I have learned so much from Suzanne and her amazing teachers! I have tried class with other students, as well as private tutoring and both were very helpful. I now can use Mandarin in every day interactions when I visit China. Thank you Suzanne!

I began my mandarin studies with Key Language from scratch over 18 months ago. It's been truly nice to build such a friendly learning community together with teachers and class mates. I find very positive that the teaching approach has evolved to best support each stage of the learning process, from pinyin to casual conversation and initiation to characters.I definitely recommend Key Language to those looking for some personalized mandarin training in a friendly environment.
