Great experience learning Mandarin in Hangzhou!

I had a really good experience at XMandarin in Hangzhou. The classes are well-organized, the teachers are patient and friendly, and the staff (shoutout to Teresa!) are super supportive and always quick to help with anything. The school has a welcoming atmosphere, which makes a big difference when you're learning a challenging language like Chinese. The lessons strike a nice balance between grammar, vocabulary, and speaking practice, so you actually feel yourself improving week by week. The location is also convenient, right in the city. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, I'd definitely recommend XMandarin to anyone looking to study Mandarin in Hangzhou!

Studying Xmandarin in Qingdao

I am very satisfied about the XMandarin School, the school met my needs (overcome the difference in learning the characters), and satisfied my requests (finding teachers that could in small groups or individuals, help me improve my level). I was offered a course in a small group for 3 day a week, integrating the other days with individual lessons on my specific problem.

The teachers in the individual lessons do their best to help me to memorize and recognize characters, and even in the small group, the teacher is very motivating. At the beginning of the lessons, we do a little dictation on the new words (I really appreciate this activity, and also the fact that are not too many new words to learn), it would be too tiring and I would lose motivation!!

1. Helping me learn Chinese (including the characters).
2. Having classes in the morning.
3. Learning special texts I am interested to learn.

I'm also glad that, different to the universities, XMandarin offers courses for all ages, making it possible for me to come to China and enjoy the learning.

Finally, I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn properly Chinese!!

Truly recommended

I took both private and group lessons at XMandarin in Qingdao. I really enjoyed the dual track of having two methods: one private HSK 4 course and a more ‘spoken language’ course in a group class.

The combination resulted in rapid development. The teachers were skilled and the learning atmosphere was relaxed while encouraging at the same time. The school was also a great place to connect with other students.

After just four weeks i gained a lot of speaking confidence. If you’re looking for a tailored Mandarin course, this is a good one.

Highly recommend!

I’ve had a wonderful experience at this Chinese language school! The lessons were extremely useful, engaging, and never boring. What really made a difference for me was the teaching method: the classes are highly interactive, and new vocabulary is always introduced within a real-world context. Learning about Chinese culture alongside the language made it so much easier to memorize new words and idioms.
The class atmosphere was always warm, friendly, and relaxed, and the homework load was light and manageable. A special thanks to teacher Teresa, she is truly fantastic! I highly recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn Chinese.

Pros
  • Cultural and contextual learning
  • Relaxed atmosphere
  • Manageable homework load

Excellent

The school's approach is quite immersive. I studied on the Hangzhou campus, where I was impressed by the team's welcome and teaching style. There's very little pure theory: the focus is more on oral practice through real-life situations. The teachers regularly correct pronunciation. It's sometimes frustrating in the moment, but incredibly effective! Thanks to that, I can finally follow a basic conversation with my neighbors or local shopkeepers without feeling completely lost. Plus, the campus is really well located, so you can go out right after class to practice in real conditions and enjoy the beauty of Hangzhou. Thank you to Teresa for her lessons, her teaching, and her incredible kindness!!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I had to do it again, I would change two small things. First, I would get a Chinese phone number from the start — it would have made everyday life a lot easier. And most importantly, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to ask for a longer visa to stay longer. I loved China so much that I didn't want to leave!
Pros
  • Peu de temps par semaine mais assez pour progresser
  • On est en groupe donc on peut se faire des connaissances (surtout pour les personnes qui voyagent solo)
  • Il y a pas mal de sorties culturelles organisées par Xmandarin

Excellent school and community

I've been studying at XMandarin in Qingdao for a few weeks now and I'm very satisfied. The school is conveniently located in the city center, with a subway station nearby, so it's easy to get to. Inside, there's a pleasant atmosphere and everything necessary for comfortable classes

My teacher is Jesse. She is very attentive, patient, and genuinely interested in the student achieving results. From the very first lesson, she understood my level and goals, and selected suitable materials. If something isn't working, she explains it in different ways until it becomes clear. The lessons include a lot of conversational practice, while also covering grammar and character writing

I recommend it

Immersive and Fun Chinese Group Classes Abroad!

Taking group Chinese classes here was one of the best decisions I made while studying abroad! The teachers are patient, knowledgeable, and make learning fun. Classes are interactive, with plenty of group activities that really boost speaking confidence. I improved my pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar faster than I expected. The supportive environment and extra resources made learning smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an immersive Chinese learning experience abroad!
Very good

What was your funniest moment?
basically the every session when we had interactive games to learn the language even better.
Pros
  • Friendly
  • Caring
  • Effective

A positive learning journey

I’ve been taking Mandarin classes with XMandarin since November. I took small group classes and one-on-one classes and I am very happy with both of them. My teacher Teresa explains the content very well, is always very kind and patient with her students and remembers all of our strengths and weaknesses to help each of us improve. She also helps us if we have questions in between classes etc. The school also offers many activities such as Hiking, movie nights etc. and you can join a Community group to meet other people and learn about current events in the city. I would definitely recommend XMandarin to everyone who wants to come to China to study Mandarin. It as a very well organized language school and I already learned a lot in my two months here.

Good experience

Very nice language school, where you immerse yourself into culture.
I’m happy for choosing XMandarin, place where you meet many interesting, open-minded people. Management staff is very supportive and with you through all your journey. Classes are enjoyable and practical. I enjoy learning Chinese here and can see a progress. I choose facilities in Qingdao, which is a beautiful city, where mountains meets the sea. You will find many fun activities and opportunities to practice Chinese. It’s a lifetime experience.

谢谢 XMandarin Chengdu!

I am currently studying at XMandarin Chengdu for three months already, and it is still amazing, I am looking forward to every group class! The teachers are professional, patient, and very good at explaining difficult grammar in a clear way.

Besides the group classes Iam also taking private classes to help me focus on preparing for the HSK3 exam. The combination of both is really helping me a lot.

Chengdu is also an amazing city to study in. Chengdu has friendly people, great food, and a relaxed lifestyle.

Highly recommended for anyone serious about improving their Mandarin while experiencing real Chinese culture.

  • Amazing Staff
  • Affordable Classes
  • Fun activities with the teachers
