XMandarin Chinese Language School

After taking a short break, I’m back at XMandarin for another semester, it still feels like great. One thing I’ve always appreciated about the school is how personalized the classes are. This time around, I wanted to focus more on conversational Mandarin and some business-related vocabulary, and my teacher adjusted the lessons according to this. They’re super flexible and really listen to what you want to achieve. I definitely saw improvement during my last semester, especially with speaking and listening.

Outside the classroom, the school also has a really great community with people from all over the world to connect with.

If you're thinking about learning Mandarin and want a school that’s professional, welcoming, and fun, XMandarin is a fantastic choice.

I decided to join XMandarin’s group classes to take a gap year before starting university next year. Their service, excellent support, and engaging group learning environment convinced me to study Mandarin in Chengdu.

I arrived in China just over two months ago, and it has been the most incredible experience of my life! The food, the culture, and especially the people in Chengdu are amazing. Even in this short time, I can already feel that I’ve made great progress with my Mandarin skills and gained confidence.

I also really enjoy joining the events that XMandarin hosts every month, they really teach me about the local Chengdu Culture!

I have been working at a Chinese logistics company in Qingdao for the past few months, and I started private business Chinese classes at XMandarin to improve my communication at work.

At first, I wasn’t sure if I really needed lessons, my coworkers mostly speak some English, but once meetings and emails got more serious, I realized how important it is to understand the language and business culture here. XMandarin really helped me with that.

The lessons were focused on what I actually needed: common phrases for meetings, polite ways to disagree or make suggestions, and how to write short formal messages in Chinese. My teacher also explained cultural things like how hierarchy works in communication, or what kind of tone is expected in different situations. That was super helpful.

We met twice a week, and the schedule was flexible around my work hours. The materials were good, but what really helped was that the teacher made the class feel relevant, we even practiced with real examples from my emails or work conversations.

After a couple of months, I definitely feel more confident in meetings, and I can follow more of what’s going on. Still a long way to go, but this was a good investment. If you’re working in China and want to improve your professional communication, I’d recommend the private business Chinese classes here.

Before coming to China, I was really stressed about the visa process. It’s not super clear when you’re trying to figure it out from Europe, and everything online seems complicated or outdated. Luckily, the XMandarin team was super helpful from the beginning. They explained everything clearly, told me exactly what documents I needed, and were really patient when I had questions (which was a lot haha). They helped organize the invitation letter and supported me through the application. Once I arrived in Qingdao, they also helped with the residence registration and local formalities, which can be a bit overwhelming if you’re alone in a new country where they barely speak English. If you’re planning to do an internship or study Chinese and you need visa help, I’d definitely recommend reaching out to them. It’s not a magic solution, but they do make the whole process way smoother.

I am currently working in Chengdu for a Chinese company, outside of work I wanted to improve my mandarin related to Business. I am taking the Business Chinese Courses at XMandarin Chengdu and I have no regret with my decision. My teacher is very good and has helped me a lot. Really happy with the overall learning experience. They also taught me about Chinese Business etiquette, which I can use while doing business in China. I would strongly recommend XMandarin Chengdu for learning Mandarin or even Business Chinese!
