It was very fun and interesting. I did many things I didn't expect I would get to do, although it did take lots of effort and patience, it was fun since I did it with my friends who came to summer camp with me here in Beijing. The teachers are very, very nice and funny, and even though there might be a language barrier, they tried their best to communicate with us. We even had a chance to sing Chinese songs and communicate in Chinese when we did the Chinese corner. I had loads of fun, I would really recommend it.

I had so much fun here in the class and the teachers are all nice, they all very kind.I learn a lot about Chinese culture and also got hands on experience too.The activities is also very interesting, it helps me to focus less on my phone for example we painted Chinese 太极拳 mask and painted Chinese fan.The class helps me improve my Chinese too because the teacher would encourage us to speak more and it helped me learn more Chinese vocabulary .it’s a good choice if you want to improve your speaking through a fun activities .

It was so good, the teachers are very nice and funny. The activities planned mostly exceeded the time planned. For example, calligraphy and drawing chinese paintings. We joined an activity called ‘Chinese Corner’ which was very interesting and fun, it allowed us to practice our Chinese. I had a great time learning with my friends and I would recommend this place to other people who are interested in practicing their Chinese and interested in learning Chinese Culture. Overall, I am very happy with the outcome and the experience.

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.
