XMandarin Chinese Language School Reviews

A really nice school, with very kind and helpful people. I enjoyed my time staying there. I also went on fun events and enjoyed them. I got connected to fun people and made new friends to hang out with or meet up for different fun activities.
The city is very nice to explore with lots of exciting places to visit. The beaches are beautiful and it's a very convenient city to live in. There's big malls with lots of new stores to explore. And many delicious restaurants.

I really enjoyed studying and being here.

Just over a month in to learning at XMandarin and I have 0 complaints.

All the teachers and staff members have been very supportive, helpful and understanding. The classes are concise, fun and great at building Mandarin knowledge rapidly. The sense of community is also great. During breaks and after class, everyone gathers around and has great conversations. The teacher leading our class has great English, a playful sense of humour and understands how to teach a class well. If anyone is considering learning Mandarin in Chengdu, I would not look past XMandarin!

I came to XMandarin Qingdao super scared and very unconfident. Before I even started lessons I was assisted with accommodation, my VISA, and how to order Chinese dumplings (because when I got off he plane I was very hungry.)

Now I feel like I was given the best tools from native teachers to converse comfortably!

I felt like my success was actually supported and even though I was in a class with other people, the lessons still felt like private lessons because the dynamic in the class was very open and welcoming.

Studying at XMandarin in Chengdu was a very good experience in general. The teachers at the school really helped me a lot in and outside of the classroom, they showed me Chengdu, brought me to amazing places to experience the culture and were a great friend to have during my stay here.

My Chinese also has improved a lot during my stay with the school, I focussed on improving my speaking and listening skills and I feel really happy about the progress I made.

When I am back in Chengdu next time I will join the classes again for sure!

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!

I had a fantastic experience with the XMandarin Visa Program. The staff made the entire visa process smooth and stress-free, and their support was excellent from start to finish. I also appreciated the cultural activities they organized , which helped me connect more deeply with local life. The Chinese classes were engaging and well-taught, with patient instructors who truly care about your progress. The school has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and Qingdao is a lovely place to stay. I truly recommend this program to anyone looking for an immersive and well-organized experience in China.
