Great program, Great Chinese lessons

I have been taking the Intensive Chinese Program at Startup China through their partner school That’s Mandarin. At That’s Mandarin you get great teachers, a highly effective teaching method and lessons personalized to your particular needs – all in a comfortable learning environment.

I’ve been taking classes for 1 months now. I go Mondays to Fridays for 4 hours. It’s been a great experience. I highly recommend for the following reasons -

* Great teachers – professional, energetic, inspiring, dedicated, and fun
* Unique, highly effective teaching method – during class, I watch shows in Chinese and re-tell them, read and translate articles, meanwhile the teacher types new words that I come across that day; outside class, I review the list of new words, write the story I’ve learned that day, and listen to an mp3 of my teacher reading the new words and using them in sentences
* Personalized lessons – no books; learning based on shows and articles carefully selected to suit my interest and needs
* Good learning environment – free coffee in the morning, clean nice classrooms in good locations

The language courses paired with the excellent cultural and social events, as well as the accommodation options in the heart of Beijing make this a great program option for anybody who is seriously interested in learning or improving their Chinese.
