recommend this school!

The staffs are very friendly, and my teachers are always on time and always very warm. Studying chinese here was a great experience and we always did reviews which was really helpful for my chinese learning experience.
The staff here are also very friendly.
Their system is very useful for learning and reviewing new knowledge.There are also exercises and test questions in the system. You can use the system to learn and test your learning level.
You don't need to take notes by yourself. The teacher will help you take notes in the system in class.

Chinese Course - That's Mandarin

Through research of different online learning Chinese programs, That's mandarin was the one that convinced me the most. I loved the structure of their courses, and the reports they offer to check your overall progress. I also liked the videos that were presented in the classes and liked how they let you switch through pinyin subtitles.

The only inconvenience was the price of the whole program. I think that the company is overcharging for their online services, so it might be very hard for me to go back to complete a level, especially knowing that only one level might cost me around $1300 USD! If I had the money, I'd complete the program. However, I think it is designed for wealthy employees or wealthy students.

If you can afford it, definitely give it a go!

Pros
  • Friendly platform
  • Supportive faculty
  • Flexible scheduling
Cons
  • Price
  • Irregularity of curriculum between teachers
  • Slow progress

Great Interactive Learning Experience

I have been learning Mandarin with That's Mandarin for more than 2 years. It is a great combination of several complementary learning techniques, including live teacher interaction in online classes, and a digital platform that contains all learning and training materials. The digital platform provides materials for speaking, listening (videos), reading, and writing. The programme is flexible and adjusts to your speed of learning. Although my job sets significant time constraints, I have been able to progress much more than I would ever have thought, I have just sat my HSK2.

Pros
  • very efficient and productive learning method
  • very flexible, allows for self-paced learning
Cons
  • none

Fun learning

In the beginning it can be a little difficult, but as you continue the classes, it get's better and more fun. In class you get to focus more on the oral and your understanding of the context in the videos and sentence structure. On your free time you can review the class you had, do some exercises and learn to recognise and write the characters. You do get that feeling of mastery when you have learned a new character. When there is something you don't quite understand the teacher helps you. They are really nice and fun to talk with.

Ni HaoCafe

I really like NiHaoCafe. The platform is really well made and easy to use. My current teacher on the platform is very patient and explains words and concepts very well. I would recomend the site for anyone interested in learning mandarin from home or wish to take up extra mandarin classes. I will probably use this site again in the future.
The program is suitable for students from any HSK level. The only criteria you need to fulfull for using the site, is being able to speak and understand english. You can attend classes from anywhere as long as you have a laptop, but for better performance I reccomend having a microphone so the teachers can hear you better.

Pros
  • easy to use platform
  • all you need for studying is in the platform
  • you can attend classes from anywhere as long as you have a laptop
Cons
  • sometimes sound problem if you don't have a microphone for PC

That’s Mandarin

Staff and teachers in the school are very approachable and professional. They are always there and ready to help you in your studies or any other assistance that you require in your daily life. They make the learning experience an enjoyable one especially for beginners like myself. For someone who is new to the language and country, the school has made it a seamless process to adjusting to life in here. Besides Mandarin language, I am also learning the local culture to immerse myself into the communities.

Pros
  • Helpful staff
  • Professional teachers
  • Cost environment for studies
