Helpful and Fun

I have been in China for four years, and this year, I finally made the decision to start learning Chinese seriously. This school is not far from where I live; it’s right in the center of Beijing. I have three teachers, and each of them is very patient with me, constantly helping me correct my pronunciation. Although I don’t review every day, I admit that Nihao Cafe is a really great platform. It’s different from the learning methods I knew before; it’s not as old-fashioned. I think I’m more suited to this kind of topic-based teaching.

A fun and excellent course

I have been studying at That's Mandarin Beijing on the Nihao Cafe platform for the past six months and have seen steady improvement in my Mandarin skills. That's Mandarin School is an excellent language training institution. The teachers are very professional, and the teaching methods are engaging and interesting. The course content is rich and has greatly helped me improve my Chinese language skills!

The learning environment at That's Mandarin School is excellent. The facilities and equipment are very advanced, and there are very comfortable rest areas. I can do my homework in the school's lobby and interact with my classmates. The school also provides a social venue where I can practice speaking Chinese and make many new friends.

A Great Learning Experience at That's Mandarin!

As a 54-year-old from Boston, I’ve had the pleasure of studying at the Beijing campus of That's Mandarin, and I can confidently say it’s been an amazing experience!

First off, the platform they use is fantastic. One of the highlights for me is being able to learn Chinese through their in-house TV dramas. It’s such a cool and immersive way to practice the language, and it really makes learning enjoyable.

The teaching quality is top-notch. My teacher is not only highly professional but also dedicated. While I know she speaks excellent English, she rarely uses it during class. She effectively encourages me to rely on Chinese, which has helped me understand a lot more than I expected and makes me feel really accomplished.

On top of that, I’ve made some great friends here. This school is definitely a great place to meet people and expand your social circle.

I highly recommend That's Mandarin to anyone looking to learn Chinese in a friendly, effective, and engaging environment. Give it a try!

Great experience

I’ve found the one-to-one model at Nihao Cafe really good - my language skills are noticeably improving. The support staff have been very helpful and responsive.

The overall value of the course is great - especially if you take on many classes. The website is great for in-the-go learning and makes scheduling classes or canceling very easy to do. There are helpful review exercises, tests, and notebook functions on the platform which makes revising really simple, and simplifies note-taking in class.

Good choice to study Mandarin in Chengdu

The school stands out for its innovative teaching methods and commitment to student success. The teachers are not only experienced but also incredibly engaging, making each lesson both practical and enjoyable. They take the time to understand each student’s learning needs and adapt their teaching style accordingly. Lessons often include real-life scenarios and interactive exercises, which help solidify your understanding while keeping the process dynamic and fun.

The school offers cultural workshops and activities, adding another layer of richness to the experience. Whether it’s a calligraphy session, a cooking class, or a guided city tour, these activities allow students to deepen their understanding of Chinese traditions while practicing their language skills in a relaxed and enjoyable way. These immersive opportunities make learning Mandarin more than just a classroom endeavor—it becomes a gateway to experiencing the culture firsthand.

Great Journey with That‘s Mandarin Chengdu

That’s Mandarin Chengdu is an outstanding choice for anyone who is serious about learning Mandarin. From the moment you step into the school, you are greeted by a warm and welcoming environment that sets the tone for your learning journey. The teachers are highly skilled, professional, and approachable, creating a comfortable atmosphere where students feel encouraged to actively participate in every lesson. They use creative and engaging teaching techniques, ensuring that each session is not only effective but also enjoyable. Whether it’s through interactive activities, real-life scenarios, or personalized lesson plans, they have a knack for making the complexities of Mandarin feel manageable and even fun.

The school's location in the heart of Chengdu is another major advantage. Situated in a bustling area, it provides an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture. Between classes, you can explore nearby attractions, practice your Mandarin with friendly locals, or simply enjoy the city’s vibrant food scene. This central location enhances the overall learning experience, as it allows students to apply what they’ve learned in class to real-life situations, reinforcing their language skills in a practical and meaningful way.

Online Lessons

I have had online lessons for a while and it is a great experience!! The platform is super intuitive and easy to use. Also provides everything so that you can improve your language skills! It was overall a super great experience and I managed to level up quickly - learn new words and vocabulary. Once I go for an offline course to China I will be prepared to handle all of the real-life situations living in Shanghai. I’d recommend everyone who wants to start their journey with learning Chinese. Great experience!

That's Mandarin

I think the program is well structured and provides a lot of support in helping students learn Mandarin. The program is great for all different levels of learning. The teaching materials are good for building your vocabulary and language skills, with much of the language being taught useful in many common situations. The ongoing story is interesting and helps recall previous lessons. Teachers are very patient and helpful in their approach. Appreciate 吴老师 assistance and help in my Mandarin learning journey.
