An adapted Foreign Language Anxiety Scale was used to measure students' anxiety level. The statistical analysis showed that there was a negative relationship between language anxiety and Mandarin achievement; besides, parents' Mandarin levels, self perceived competence, motivation were also found to be negatively correlated with language anxiety, but positively correlated with Mandarin achievement. Characteristics related to Hong Kong students' anxiety and Mandarin learning were identified, and ways of reducing anxiety in classrooms were also suggested.
