Program Reviews

The Intermediate Spoken Chinese course is a unique and valuable learning experience, especially for those looking to build real-world speaking skills. It goes beyond textbook learning by focusing on natural conversation and cultural context, helping students speak more confidently and authentically in everyday situations. The lessons are practical, engaging, and rooted in real-life scenarios, which makes the learning feel relevant and immediately useful.

One of the highlights of the course is the teacher, who brings both expertise and a supportive teaching style to every class. The small class size allows for more one-on-one engagement, giving each student plenty of opportunities to speak, ask questions, and receive personalized feedback. The teacher creates a comfortable environment where making mistakes is seen as a natural and important part of the learning process.

Classes are interactive and varied, with a good mix of structured content and open conversation practice. The consistent feedback and encouragement help build confidence over time, while the cultural insights woven into each lesson make the experience even richer. Overall, it’s a well-rounded and immersive course that truly helps students take their spoken Chinese to the next level.

I started this language program and I am pleased to receive structure, daily classes and constant support!

I have classes everyday during the week, and we are immersed completely in the Chinese language. We follow a course book but learn a lot on daily culture, habits and history. This is a great opportunity to boost your language level and learn more about the Chinese culture. Moreover, there are a lot of activities organized and recommend this program to anyone wanting to learn Chinese and connect with people

I took Chinese classes at Global Village School for 3 months. The teaching is very good and the teachers can speak a little English which helps a lot to understand grammar points, especially if you are a beginner in Chinese. The classes are also rather small with only 6-7 students which provides a perfect environnement to study Chinese. The price of the classes are affordable and the reception staff is always there to help if there is an issue and can speak a little English. Overall I had a very good experience at this school and would recommend it for others ! You also get to meet people in your class and other classes and make friends, and everyone has a different background which is very nice ! The free coffee, tea and water is also a good plus :)

Global village is a great school with a very good team of professional teachers. I had a great time learning Chinese with my teacher: as a language teacher myself, I can tell she's very talented. I also occasionally had class with other teachers who were also very skilled and playful. I'm a person who likes to have fun and enjoy an open hearted conversation, and I feel like that was always the case here: the teachers were immediately quite friendly and willing to share personal thoughts about many topics, there's also a good sense of community and you easily mix up with other students and teachers during the group activities.

I am really happy with the course. The teacher is really well-prepared to teach foreigners. She speaks great English which helps me and Michael learn quicker. Teacher 叶老师 revises each lesson very carefully and places great emphasis on the correct pronunciation. I really appreciate the fact that she teaches us Chinese characters as this is very important for my work. It’s also noteworthy 叶老师 adapts to the student and doesn’t just stick to the book. I also feel the course is great value for money.

Very good school in Beijing. Friendly teacher and efficient. I took the HSK 5 class! I will take the class for 5 months and take HSK, I feel my skills have improved a lot!!

The Li laoshi is very kind!. She is teaching HSK 5 according to the curriculum📝, and she always adds some cultural aspects and knowledge about China, and she also recommends some good food and discusses several topics.

Plus, this school also has free coffee and tea, and study space!

Foreigner friendly !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I started studying HSK5 level at Global Village School taking 1-to-1 classes morning and afternoon 3 days a week. The quality of the teaching is very high, with both my teachers also being very adaptable to both my level and my learning goals. The school is very helpful in organising a lesson plan with you that is tailored to your objectives. For example, I wanted to improve my speaking as well as study HSK content, so they suggested that I divide my classes between higher-level speaking and the HSK curriculum. This worked very well for me. The school have also been gracious in giving occasional extra classes as a reward for completing a certain number of class hours. They also offer mock HSK tests whether you are preparing for a real test or just curious about your level. At the competitive prices they offer this school is certainly the best option in the area for those who are looking to make quick progress with learning Mandarin. The staff are friendly, helpful and accommodating, and the teachers are first rate.

Since the first day I was welcomed with my friends. The teachers in the school are amazing. I’ve nothing to say other than wish more foreign students have the same experience as me.

During my time in high school I had it really good moments, but my best moments that I’ve experienced are in a particular class during my senior year, in Sacramento, Calif. So I was basically a new student in these kind of classes and also I’m English learner. I remember my first presentation in this class. I didn’t want to do it, but finally I did it and that one was my best moment. When I went to present I felt afraid, and then when I presented I felt so good for the effort I applied on. Now I feel so much better than my first day of presentations because I now know that I can do whatever I want to do. The learnings that I acquire made it so good this moment because I know that I have to trust on me. Something teachers or students can learn from my experience is that we have to overcome our fears and not let them control ourselves because we can’t know our capabilities if we are afraid.

Global Village School is helping me so much to learn Chinese when I came to China I didn't know something but every teacher cared so much about the students and they are so kind and so funny even they do events having kind and funny teachers feels so good and they teach me so much I have to thanks they so much I'm so happy to be on there I want to more students come here because everyone gets well everyone is so helpful and learning here is funny everyone should come and this school does event for who don't come to this school to I think everyone has to try here
