Group Chinese Language Courses

The Chinese learning experience at Global Village School was a lot of fun and very valuable. You can create your own flexible learning schedule, as classes are available every day but you can just join whenever it suits your own schedule. The teacher of my class and also other staff are very kind and supportive. The classes not only helped me to improve my Chinese, but together with the other students we also had a great learning community.

If I return to Beijing, I would return to Global Village School and I can also encourage you to do so!

The class is very helpful. We meet every day Monday-Friday. We are two students and the teacher in the class. The teacher is very enthusiastic and energetic. Her energy is very contagious. We laugh a lot during class and this helps a lot with the learning. The fact that we meet so frequently helps solidify the lessons into our heads and keep us track.

The community we have built is very supportive and patient. I never feel like my mistakes are a bad thing, and instead I see them as moments of learning. I have been able to learn a lot from my classmate and teacher beyond what the book we use contains.

I went to that school for 5 months, and I found it exceptional. I’ve met so many people, new friends. The teacher I had was perfect, we were working on specific subjects, and every time we needed something, there was someone to help us! Now I can have a conversation in chinses without worrying about being misunderstood. If you’re looking for a relaxed course, it’s the right place; the school is located in a good area. There are a lot of things to do around, places, restaurants, bars, clubs, and the subway station is not far at all!

My daughter, who is 13 years old, enrolled in an elementary Chinese language course with Global Village Language School, Beijing, China. While the course was very advantegous in financial terms, course quality was superb. In the course, a relatively small group (5-10 people, most of them in their 20's) could enjoy, and profit of, the enthusiastic teaching of a lady teacher, who was keen on teaching pronunciation, vocab, structure, and, last but not least, the Chinese characters. She also always found extra time to deal with my daughter and whoever else among the students was ready to dedicate extra effort to her or his Chinese studies. The language school also organized - and that, on a regular basis - in-class and in-city cultural activities like cooking Chinese food, city walks, etc., in this way successfully building a community out of an originally haphazard group of students. The front desk staff is really caring; and the bottom line is that if we can come to Beijing again, we would definitely choose the same language school. Most sincerely recommended!

The Intermediate Spoken Chinese course is a unique and valuable learning experience, especially for those looking to build real-world speaking skills. It goes beyond textbook learning by focusing on natural conversation and cultural context, helping students speak more confidently and authentically in everyday situations. The lessons are practical, engaging, and rooted in real-life scenarios, which makes the learning feel relevant and immediately useful.

One of the highlights of the course is the teacher, who brings both expertise and a supportive teaching style to every class. The small class size allows for more one-on-one engagement, giving each student plenty of opportunities to speak, ask questions, and receive personalized feedback. The teacher creates a comfortable environment where making mistakes is seen as a natural and important part of the learning process.

Classes are interactive and varied, with a good mix of structured content and open conversation practice. The consistent feedback and encouragement help build confidence over time, while the cultural insights woven into each lesson make the experience even richer. Overall, it’s a well-rounded and immersive course that truly helps students take their spoken Chinese to the next level.

I started this language program and I am pleased to receive structure, daily classes and constant support!

I have classes everyday during the week, and we are immersed completely in the Chinese language. We follow a course book but learn a lot on daily culture, habits and history. This is a great opportunity to boost your language level and learn more about the Chinese culture. Moreover, there are a lot of activities organized and recommend this program to anyone wanting to learn Chinese and connect with people

I took Chinese classes at Global Village School for 3 months. The teaching is very good and the teachers can speak a little English which helps a lot to understand grammar points, especially if you are a beginner in Chinese. The classes are also rather small with only 6-7 students which provides a perfect environnement to study Chinese. The price of the classes are affordable and the reception staff is always there to help if there is an issue and can speak a little English. Overall I had a very good experience at this school and would recommend it for others ! You also get to meet people in your class and other classes and make friends, and everyone has a different background which is very nice ! The free coffee, tea and water is also a good plus :)

I am really happy with the course. The teacher is really well-prepared to teach foreigners. She speaks great English which helps me and Michael learn quicker. Teacher 叶老师 revises each lesson very carefully and places great emphasis on the correct pronunciation. I really appreciate the fact that she teaches us Chinese characters as this is very important for my work. It’s also noteworthy 叶老师 adapts to the student and doesn’t just stick to the book. I also feel the course is great value for money.
