I find your teaching method very logical & effective.  my main obstacle in learning
putonghua previously has been the tones...& you focus on the tones in a very pactical
way.

Steve Lowenstein
I am putting a lot of time into learning Chinese, as I take time everyday to review our lesson
packets and make myself little quizzes to make sure I remember everything, but
I must say that a large part of the reason I am doing so well is because of you. I took Chinese
3 years ago at my university, and although I don't really remember anything,
I remember that I didn't learn nearly as much as I am learning with you. You're teaching style
is easy to understand and very helpful in remembering everything. I am retaining much more
information than I ever did in my other classes, so I just have to thank you because I would
not be doing as well as I am if it wasn't for you. Everyone who wants to learn Chinese should
come take your class

Marissa Caradonna
I really enjoy your classes. Your method of combining visual,oral and the written
chinese characters helps me to think in Mandarin Chinese rather than english first.
You were right, learning easy, you learn alot!

Fern Bligen
It gives me great pleasure to write to tell you how satisfied I am with your Fast Learning
Chinese classes. You are very thorough in your teaching technique and really care whether
your students are learning.
It is obvious you have spent much time and thought on your curriculum and the style with
which you impart the material is exceptional. I have tried other Chinese classes and
dropped out after two lessons as the material was just not presented in such a way as to
penetrate.
Teachers must remember that adults have been away from studying and organized classes
for many years and it is imperative for the instructor to have a demeaner with the students
that lends itself to learning. I am not only learning Chinese but I am also having fun.
You are exceptional and your style is not duplicated by anyone.
Thank you for all you have done for me.

Cordially,
Ron Kehrli
I truly feel that you are a wonderful teacher.
Your approach to educating students is very clear and makes it easy to understand
the lesson. I would not know how to improve the lesson and your drawings are
getting much better.  I studied todays lesson for some time and although I cannot
remember all the words you have taught (i need more study time), I was surprised
by my understanding
of the concepts.  I can use help with the pronunciations as I am lacking confidence
in that area.

Best,
Phil Aronson
I wanted to really thank you for your concern. I think your a great teacher and your
heart and love I can see when you give class. I admire that is beautiful in a person.
Be well and have a great wonderful day

Sincerely,

Ivan Soto
Thank you for another great lesson. You are an exceptional instructor. You have a
unique way of imparting knowledge. You are making a difficult language almost
easy and you are very patient.

You should be teaching in an University.
See You Monday.

Ron
for the information I was really surprise to learn something new,
the caligraphy left me impressed.
I really enjoyed your teaching. You are a great Lao Shi. You have my respects.
Thank you for your update and kindness. Zai-Jian

"With her crisp, clear pronunciations and interesting explanations of the Chinese language,
Dina's teaching style and methods really have made learning Mandarin much easier than I
had ever imagined. Her class has not only been effective in allowing me to pick up Chinese
rather quickly but also, has been very enjoyable and fun! I would absolutely recommend
Dina to anyone hoping or wanting to learn Mandarin, especially those who are hesitant or
nervous that it will be impossible to speak, read, or write the language with some fluency.
Dina really does do a wonderful job at simplifying Chinese, making it easy to pick up!"

Doris Gonzalez
Thank you for advertising your Program in the paper! I would have never thought that
learning Chinese could be an almost stress free activity! Many times I tried to learn other
languages (Spanish, Italian...) but the regimented delivery of the lesson was not engaging
and I did not feel like I was getting anywhere leaving each class frustrated. With your
program I leave each class with new confidence that I am headed in the right direction. Even
after a FULL day of conducting meetings, visiting construction sites and doing scaffold
inspections, I find that I am still attentive and excited to learn as you present each class in a
way that engages my mind. I especially enjoy the way you present the lessons in a concise
format and the innovative way you teach the characters for easy retention. The program is
so awesome and engaging that I find myself always lookng at chinese characters wherever I
am. Learning a new language is a great key to open the door to understanding...yourself.

Since I could remember I always wanted to learn Chinese but never thought it was possible
unless I went to a university and now I have the opportunity thanks to you and your Program.

A. Ferrari
I'm really glad I decided to take your course. I was a little apprehensive about learning
Mandarin Chinese but your teaching methods have made it very enjoyable. I'm looking
forward to taking the next set of classes.

Sincerely,
Dave McNichol

As the program title suggest, I am really leaning a lot of Chinese quickly. In addition to
learning how to speak and write Chinese I am also learning about different aspects of china’
s culture and history.  Dina’s approach and the manner in which the classes are taught are
the significant differences for me. The flexibility to attend make-up classes really
accommodates my busy schedule. The Lesson templates are excellent!  I feel really
confident learning Chinese.

Howard Clarke

I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the best teacher I ever
had...All your students and student to be are considered to be very lucky to have you as a
teacher. Why?  Because you have a caring attitude, and a love of learning ... warm  and
accessible..and committed to your goal... you make learning Chinese very interesting..you
explain the origin of  words and have a systematic way of teaching thereby making easy
retention...because you make your student relax after the busy/hectic work since you have a
unique way..a magic as I can say, other teachers  do not have....you are really a great lao
tse..I would say that you deserve to have a title...that is
you are the "Confucius of
Modern Time.. of the New Generation"...

Again my heartfelt thanks for having you as my great teacher. Still to be with you on Level 2

PS: I like your policy of making up class in case of you cannot make it for emergency
reason.. in this way you will never miss a single lesson..

Regards
Joy Yang
I couldn’t be happier with Dina’s lessons at Fast Learning Chinese.  For someone who is
committed to learning Chinese, Dina’s lessons provide a fast and effective way of doing
so.  I couldn’t believe how easy she has made it to learn.  

Nick Blitterswyk

Dina: I find the program very helpful, since it integrates spoken conversation,
pronunciation, pinyin notation and Chinese characters in a very organic fashion. (I used
some of my newfound knowledge last night at Ollie's noodle shop and was very pleased
that I was understood!) I look forward to coming to class and to the challenges of learning
Chinese in this interesting and lively manner.
As a professor, I've studied other languages in the more traditional way and I really like
Dina's approach better.

Roberta Graziano
I like FastLearningChinese. Of all the Chinese teachers I have met, Dina is by far the
greatest. My main issue when looking for Chinese teachers is how well their spoken English
are because in order for me to understand the language, being able to explain the language
from Chinese to English is a big deal for me and Dina has shown that. I like the way she
teaches using her drawings to write different characters. It's easy and fast!
Helen Yu
Dear Dina:

"Thank you for your passion in teaching.  At first I thought the class would not be hard
since it is a class after work and many places kinda go easy on working people(in other
words, they do not make your money worth!).  But you really put your heart into every
single moment in the class room.  Very impressive.  It is my turn to put my sweat into
learning.  
Everyone! This is a place to go if you want to learn Chinese. AND be prepared to study."

Sohui Cho
A very different and dynamic approach to learning a new language.  Chinese was always
one language that frightened me.  But it has been made so much easier to learn, thanks
to
Dina. A big Xie xie!  I look forward to taking Level 2 later this year.

Maxwell Farnon
Dear Dina,

I investigated a number of different Chinese language programs before I decided to take
your's.  I am very glad I did.  Rather than teaching a number of basic phrases through rote
memorization, you really teach the building blocks of the language.  This allows us to gain a
basic level of proficiency which should be much more useful in the long run.  I know I am
much more comfortable building sentences, dialogue, etc. on my own and do not feel
restricted by a few phrases which I may have memorized (which would have been the case
in other classes).

Jim O'Neill
Hi Dina,
I've had 2 other Chinese courses before and during the first 6 lessons of your program I
already learnt more than in those courses.
The teaching style is very unique and even though it starts with teaching the basics (of
course) you also learn a lot of useful expressions and words as well as the Chinese
characters of many words. That might sound hard to learn, but as I already said the teaching
style is very unique and makes the learning easier compared to the other courses I took.

Daniel Paape
Dina makes learning Chinese easy!! Class is interactive and you get personal attention. I
highly recommend Dina as your Chinese instructor."

Patricia(Trish) Dahl
Hi Dina,
I enjoyed your class very much. You are by far the most passionate and energetic teacher I’ve
known. Your energy and enthusiasm has definitely inspired me to become a better student. I
really appreciate the extra time and effort you put in to ensure that students understand what
was taught. Your method of relating Chinese characters to its actual meaning is very helpful.
The notes and CD are great tools as well.
Thanks for being such great teacher!  
Kevin Ho
Fast Learning Chinese is an exciting way to learn a language.
The lessons are well planned and fast paced. The tempo in class is upbeat and enjoyable,
and the instructor always keeps it interesting.
But what I found most rewarding, was that after ten lessons my Chinese friends could
understand what I was saying.
Thank you so much!
