About Program

Find your balance in our structured small-group classes. Two lessons each day for two or three days a week give students spare time to study and take on other activities. Encouraging interaction and unrelenting progress, our beginner level courses mainly focus on practical Chinese speaking and listening, phonetics and characters. On the other hand, a higher level of classes tackles a higher level of content.

Join our group lessons to make new friends from all over the world and join our extracurricular activities, which include cooking classes, mountain hiking, cultural trips, and so on! Not only you'll be immersed in Mandarin Chinese: you'll get in touch with Chinese culture!

Semester dates for small group class: (fresh beginners only)
February, April, June, September, November, 2025.

Non-beginners can join any weekday except holidays if there is a group of similar level.

XMandarin Qingdao

XMandarin’s group courses are a fun and effective way to learn Chinese. The teachers are super patient and keep lessons engaging with real-life practice. The small class sizes mean lots of speaking time, which really helped me build confidence. One of my favorite moments was when our teacher took us to a local market to practice bargaining in Chinese it was both hilarious and super useful! Highly recommend comming to Qingdao there is a lot to explore and the food is also amazing. The school's location is also very convenient and close to the sea.

Super Helpful & Easy Process

XMandarin made the whole visa process so much easier than I expected! The team was super helpful from start to finish, guiding me through every step and making sure I had all the right documents. They were always quick to answer any questions, which took a lot of stress out of the process.

What I really appreciated was how organized and efficient everything was. They gave clear instructions, helped me meet deadlines, and were always there if I needed support. I never felt lost or overwhelmed, which is a big deal when dealing with visa stuff!

On top of that, XMandarin has an awesome community, great language classes, and really cool opportunities in Qingdao. If you’re thinking about coming to China to study or work, I’d 100% recommend their visa programit makes life so much easier!

Group Classes at XMandarin

Enrolling in XMandarin’s group classes was one of the best decisions I made while in Qingdao. From day one, the learning approach felt natural and engaging, with a strong emphasis on real-world communication. Instead of just memorizing vocabulary and grammar, we practiced speaking in practical situations, which made the language feel much more accessible.

The teachers brought incredible energy to every class, using creative teaching methods to keep us engaged. Whether it was role-playing conversations, interactive games, or group discussions, there was never a dull moment. The small class sizes also meant that we all received plenty of attention and had the chance to actively participate.

Beyond the classroom, XMandarin encouraged us to immerse ourselves in the language by exploring Qingdao and interacting with locals. This hands-on approach helped reinforce what we learned and made studying Mandarin an adventure rather than a task.
