My Amazing Chinese Learning Experience with NihaoCafe

I just arrived in Shenzhen for work and chose this online Chinese school. I’m really happy with it! The course content is simple and easy to understand, and the teachers explain things very clearly, which helped me get started quickly. The platform NihaoCafe is stable, and the flexible learning schedule is great for beginners like me. Now, I can communicate with my colleagues in basic Chinese and feel I’ve made great progress. I recommend it to other friends who are new to China!

I am very happy that NihaoCafe has helped me maintain my interest in Chinese!!!

My Journey Learning Chinese at That’s Mandarin

I always thought learning Chinese was tough because the characters looked like little robots. But after picking up a few languages, I figured, why not take on this mysterious language? So, I decided to give Chinese a shot and found That's Mandarin. I took a trial lesson and then signed up for a one-month group class in Chengdu. I figured learning a language in its environment is the best way. Before heading to China, I learned some basics, like Pinyin and simple greetings. When I got there, I realized that characters don’t have Pinyin, so I decided to tackle the characters themselves. My teacher had some great tricks up her sleeve for learning them. She’d tell me the stories and logic behind each character, which made me fall in love with learning Chinese. After class, I used a website that was super helpful! It’s both practical and visually appealing. All things considered, I highly recommend studying at TM.

Very satisfied but hardworking

My experience was unique . Great professionals.I enjoy learning on the NihaoCafe platform, it has very interesting materials and videos. The videos look like a drama series, with each class presenting a new story that is connected to the previous ones.
The topics are very relevant to my life, and the teachers provide practical explanations. My teacher prepares rich content for each class, covering topics that I encounter in everyday life. I study at the Beijing campus.
The support from the school team is also excellent; everyone is friendly and enthusiastic, and I really appreciate this team. I recommend everyone to come and learn with this team—it's a unique and enjoyable experience!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Be prepared to hard work. Good material to follow up at home.

Online Lessons at "That’s Mandarin" Chinese School

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the online lessons offered by That’s Mandarin, and my experience was exceptional. Whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your skills in Mandarin, the school's well-structured curriculum, professional teaching staff, and user-friendly platform create an ideal learning environment for all levels of learners.

1. Flexible and Convenient Learning Experience

One of the highlights of That's Mandarin is its flexibility. The online lessons are conducted through their custom platform called Nihao Café, which is easy to navigate and offers features like class notes, vocabulary reviews, and interactive exercises, all integrated into one place. The lessons can be scheduled according to your availability, making it convenient for people with busy schedules or those in different time zones.

2. Highly Professional Teachers

Every lesson I took was led by a native-speaking instructor who was not only fluent but also highly skilled in teaching Mandarin to non-native speakers. They tailored the lessons to my level and learning goals. Their patience and encouragement made the learning process smooth and enjoyable.

3. Innovative Learning Tools

Their Online platform automatically saves notes from each lesson, to review key vocabulary and grammar points after class. There are also built-in flashcards for vocabulary retention.

4. Excellent Student Support

From the initial sign-up process to booking classes, the customer service team was responsive and accommodating. They helped me set up my account, schedule lessons and answered any questions I had about the curriculum or lesson format.

I made real progress

I enrolled with That's Mandarin Chinese language learning course 4 years ago. I have been taking 1:1 online lessons on a weekly basis ever since. At the time of enrolling I could say few basic ("taxi level") sentences. By now I am able to hold conversation with native speakers in Chinese and am progressing with reading Hanzi. The program is well tailored with structured basic lessons' series to start with. Later on it offers wide variety of additional texts, videos and exercises. Special thanks goes to my teacher (Zhang Laoshi). She was able to engage me in a simple conversation from the early stage with as much as possible use of only Chinese during lessons. With a nice mix of fixed program and small-talk the classes have always been fun. Her ability to explain sometimes complex language constructs in a form that I can understand and relate to has helped me a lot. Big thanks and looking forward to continue! Warmly recommend.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don't give up even when the progress on learning language seems very slow. It takes time and is not linear. It pays of in the end.
Pros
  • Flexible
  • Can learn on the go
  • Fun
Cons
  • Mobile app was slow at the beginning
