Hi everyone!
My name is Josephine, and I’m an 18-year-old girl from Germany. I recently graduated from an international high school and have been working as an au pair in China ever since. As part of my au pair program, I take language classes at XMandarin three times per week.
I chose this au pair program specifically for the high-quality language courses that XMandarin provides. In our lessons, we focus a lot on speaking and listening, which I think are the most important skills to learn when you first come to China. Not many Chinese people speak English, so learning Chinese as quickly as possible is a must!
The teachers are very attentive to their students; they answer any questions you have and create a welcoming learning environment in class. Even though I’ve only been taking these classes for just over a month, I can confidently say my Chinese has improved tremendously! Now, I can participate in simple conversations and understand basic sentences. Not only do you learn Chinese in the classes, but you also make many friends! The students at XMandarin are all extremely friendly. In class, we help each other, and everyone has a positive attitude.
XMandarin is located in Chengdu, known as the “park city” and also the city of the panda. The food, culture, and especially the people of Chengdu are incredibly friendly! Since XMandarin is in the city center, it’s easy to reach other parts of Chengdu after class. Often, students have lunch together and explore different places around the city.
I highly recommend XMandarin to anyone who wants an amazing language learning experience as well as a supportive learning environment! Additionally, the school assists all students in obtaining the correct visa, making it easy to enter China.
