I feel the system and strategy are good, with the gonke, assignments, and interaction making the class fun and engaging. I’m always willing to attend the next class, which is the best feeling. I’ve realized I can understand more when people speak Mandarin, which honestly surprised me. Learning Mandarin has been exciting and meaningful, and I’m motivated to proceed to the next level. Thank you, Ain lǎoshī, for making the class enjoyable, flexible, and pressure-free, while helping me gain great understanding and see real-life results. I hope to continue with your class in the next level!

I knew nothing about Mandarin at first, and I realized self-learning wasn’t enough. I needed a proper platform, which is how I found Kunkwan. I got to meet new friends from various backgrounds and laoshi who are very helpful and supportive. Learning Mandarin at Kunkwan is really fun. One of my most interesting experiences was an assignment that required speaking with a Chinese friend. I felt shy at first, afraid of making mistakes in pronunciation, but my friends were very helpful, correcting me like native speakers and teaching me new vocabulary useful for real-life conversations. I think Mandarin is very important, as China and Malaysia are trading partners, so learning it helps me understand conversations better in both business and personal contexts. It also helps me enjoy my favourite Mandarin songs more easily. I feel grateful to be part of the Kunkwan community and always look forward to the next class. A special thank you to Minqi Laoshi for being so supportive and helpful throughout my journey. I hope to keep improving my Mandarin!

I love how the module is arranged at a pace I can follow. Even with a busy work week, I can slot in this once-a-week 2-hour class, which makes me very happy. My first assignment with a native Mandarin speaker in Level A was memorable. I asked a colleague to be my partner, and she said my pronunciation was surprisingly good! I’m still a beginner and cannot speak or understand Mandarin fully yet, but I believe I’ll be able to once I complete the course. Learning Mandarin has opened me up to a new world and made me appreciate why Chinese speakers sometimes make mistakes in Malay. I now feel encouraged to make mistakes in Mandarin too as part of learning. Thank you, Ika lǎoshī, for being very supportive, keeping the class fun and engaging, and being a role model for me to become a good Mandarin speaker.

I really enjoy learning with Agnes Laoshi because of her teaching methods and the non-judgemental classmates. I joined every Wednesday class and can now understand simple conversations. I’m excited to join every week’s class. Thank you, Agnes Laoshi, for being supportive both inside and outside the class!

I’m really glad to get to know Bunga Laoshi. Her teaching is fun, and I can understand the lessons much better, xiexie! I can now speak a bit of Mandarin with my friends and understand some of the way native speakers talk. Learning at Kunkwan has also helped me enjoy Chinese dramas more, as I can now watch some without relying too much on subtitles. I truly enjoy learning Mandarin, and the teachers at Kunkwan are very patient and always manage to catch my attention during classes. I really appreciate Bunga Laoshi for teaching me all this while! Learning Mandarin with you has been an enjoyable journey, and you are truly a great laoshi.

Mandarin class is having a friendly and supportive laoshi who makes learning fun and stress-free. The lessons are interactive and encourage every student to participate confidently, no matter their level. One of my most interesting memories was making funny mistakes, which helped me remember the right words, and also making new friends where we supported each other and had fun along the way. Learning Mandarin has helped me understand simple conversations, especially when watching Chinese shows or hearing people speak around me, and it feels great to catch familiar words and phrases in daily life. Overall, learning Mandarin has been challenging but incredibly rewarding, especially with tones and characters, and every small progress feels like a big win. I’ll miss your class when it ends because Ika laoshi very best!

I’m happy to learn new things with such a great laoshi, Ain Laoshi, and I always loved it when laoshi picked my name to read in class as it gave me the chance to practice my pronunciation. As a retiree, I enjoy learning Mandarin to spend my time meaningfully, and now I can even understand what the hero in Chinese dramas is saying 😁 Learning Mandarin can be quite challenging, but it’s also fun because I can use many things around me as learning tools. Thank you Ain Laoshi, you are really helpful and you make things look simple and easy.

Minqi lǎoshī creates an incredibly interactive and fun learning environment. The pace is perfect, and her constant encouragement makes Mandarin fun to master. My most vivid memory is struggling with tricky pronunciation in a practical dialogue. My tones were all over the place, but Minqi lǎoshī was patient and supportive, guiding us with passion. Learning Mandarin has enriched my daily life, helping me understand basic conversations, enjoy Mandarin songs, and giving me a reason to travel to China to practice. Learning Mandarin has been fun and meaningful, and I am grateful to Minqi lǎoshī for making each class engaging. Thank you, Minqi lǎoshī, for your patience and inspiring passion, I really look forward to every lesson.

The course module is very well-developed, and Ain Laoshi is attentive, patient, and very knowledgeable. Taking the HSK exam and doing role-playing as buyer and seller were some of the most memorable experiences, along with meeting new friends. I’m now more confident speaking Mandarin daily and can interact with my customers, understanding what they say. Learning has been fun, motivating, and I can see my progress. Thank you, Ain Laoshi, for all your teachings that have made me confident and comfortable speaking Chinese!

Classes with Bunga lǎoshī were enjoyable and fun! We were asked to participate in questioning and answering, making every class truly interactive. In the tourism field, communication skills are important, and learning Mandarin has made me more confident to communicate. Mandarin is known to be difficult, and miscommunication often happens, but learning it has helped me break down communication barriers and better understand how Mandarin speakers communicate. It’s such an honour to have Bunga lǎoshī as our Level A teacher. She is kind, patient, understanding, and supportive, making sure students were not intimidated by the complexity of the language. I will forever remember her as the person who made me fall in love with HànYǔ!

Learning with Bunga Laoshi has helped me apply the lessons to real-life situations. The grammar and vocabulary I learned have really improved my Mandarin communication. One of the most fun aspects was making funny mistakes and laughing together, which also helped me remember the grammar points better. I can now understand simple sentences in daily conversations and grasp the basics of what is being said, which inspires me to learn even more. I love learning Mandarin, it has been a fun journey, and I’m looking forward to becoming fluent in the near future. Thank you, Bunga Laoshi, for making the class enjoyable and relaxing. You always encourage learning through mistakes, and I’ve gained confidence because of that. You are the best!

Agnes Laoshi was very enthusiastic and always gave students opportunities to speak, gently correcting us in a soft and easy tone. She makes sure everyone understands the meaning and never teaches too fast. One memorable moment was learning the word “nǚ’ér” (daughter). She patiently corrected me because saying it wrong would change the meaning completely! We also tried singing the Rasa Sayang song using numbers, which was hilarious since we were out of tune, but thankfully we got it right in the end. I’m able to understand simple Mandarin conversations when speakers talk slowly, which is amazing for me as a CIC level student since I rarely get to speak Mandarin every day. I’m proud of my progress, now I can relate some words I learned while watching dramas, even if I sometimes struggle with tones. Agnes Laoshi, xie xie nin for everything from start to finish. You always give students the chance to try, stay patient, and keep the class motivated, even when the energy is low at first. Thanks to you, the class always ends up lively and fun!

The class with Agnes Laoshi uses interactive learning methods, like real-life conversation practice, which makes learning fun and engaging. It’s also a confidence-building environment where students are encouraged to speak Mandarin without fear of mistakes. One of my most interesting memories was the moment I finally understood how tones could completely change the meaning. I can now understand simple conversations, and I feel motivated to continue learning. Dear Agnes Laoshi, thank you so much for your patience and dedication in teaching us. I’ve really enjoyed your classes and learned a lot from you. Your passion for Mandarin makes learning fun and inspiring!
