Learn Chinese and have fun

The Chinese school That’s Mandarin is the best in Shanghai based on my experience. Very friendly and modern environment, professional and supportive teachers, super helpful stuff! The school has it’s own teaching platform which is very convenient and user friendly. The bonus is the amazing terrace with a city view, complementary coffee, tea. And also the school regularly throws theme events/parties, where you can practice speaking Chinese, have much fun as well as making new friends!
Спасибо этой школе, вы лучшие!

  • Effective teaching program

That’s Mandarin Level 1 Intensive

The course at That’s Mandarin has been incredibly helpful to acquire basic Mandarin. It has made settling into Beijing so much easier. The course content is extremely relevant for day-to-day life and one can start using it from the very first days of starting the class. The teachers are friendly, dedicated and pay close attention to pedagogical methods that enable more effective learning. The overall environment is friendly and helpful, and the administration staff are incredibly responsive. Highly recommend it!

1on1 lessons with Wu laoshi

I am really happy with choosing the 1on1 program and especially with my teacher Wo laoshi! I have one lesson on four days a week with her and she is able to keep me motivated to learn more, to see were I am struggling and also to make each lesson interesting and fun. I already improved a lot in just two months. It is also a great way to get to know new people because of the events they are hosting. Overall I can highly recommend this program and also the language school That’s Mandarin in general.

thats mandarin

its very helpful and educating. This app is super useful and helpful for users that lack advanced knowledge in mandarin. I liked how user-friendly the app is. I would recommend this app to anyone who is looking for a quick and easy way to learn mandarin. There are so many workouts to choose from. It’s impossible to get bored. They eliminate any excuses because there are lessons workout for all levels, all time frames, no equipment options, small space options. I truly love this app and have had several friends join as well.

A highly recommended online learning experience

I have been studying online with the school for around 6 months now, as I live and work in China and wanted to develop my understanding.

I have used online lessons and in-person classes for my study of French and Italian over the years, and my teacher (Wang Laoshi) and the school are easily the one I would most recommend. Lesson times are very flexible, and the online platform adds all new words and resources to your revision section of the website, along with listening, reading and writing activities to help revise. I have been especially impressed with the quality of teaching which is always engaging and supportive, with a wide range of different activities offered.

Pros
  • Excellent teaching and lessons
  • Lots of resources provided each lesson - texts, video and audio
  • Reports and catalogue of words learned helps show your progress over time.
Cons
  • The online platform can be a little glitchy, but that might just be my own experience.

I have done both solo and group classes, in person and online.

That's Mandarin 是一所很棒的学校,您可以亲自或在线学习! 老师们都很友好而且素质很高。 课程可以根据您的需要进行更改,或者您可以跟随基于 HSK 的课程。 当您玩得开心时,时间过得很快。 我亲自和在线完成了个人课程和小组课程。

I have introduced this school to all of my friends! 10/10.
