Program Reviews

I went to that school for 5 months, and I found it exceptional. I’ve met so many people, new friends. The teacher I had was perfect, we were working on specific subjects, and every time we needed something, there was someone to help us! Now I can have a conversation in chinses without worrying about being misunderstood. If you’re looking for a relaxed course, it’s the right place; the school is located in a good area. There are a lot of things to do around, places, restaurants, bars, clubs, and the subway station is not far at all!

My daughter, who is 13 years old, enrolled in an elementary Chinese language course with Global Village Language School, Beijing, China. While the course was very advantegous in financial terms, course quality was superb. In the course, a relatively small group (5-10 people, most of them in their 20's) could enjoy, and profit of, the enthusiastic teaching of a lady teacher, who was keen on teaching pronunciation, vocab, structure, and, last but not least, the Chinese characters. She also always found extra time to deal with my daughter and whoever else among the students was ready to dedicate extra effort to her or his Chinese studies. The language school also organized - and that, on a regular basis - in-class and in-city cultural activities like cooking Chinese food, city walks, etc., in this way successfully building a community out of an originally haphazard group of students. The front desk staff is really caring; and the bottom line is that if we can come to Beijing again, we would definitely choose the same language school. Most sincerely recommended!

I am a doctoral student from Japan. From 2023 to 2025, I took Chinese lessons at Global Village for two years. To be honest, the main reason I chose this school was the price. I was looking for an affordable option near Tsinghua University and happened to find it. Before my study abroad program began, I took online lessons, and after arriving in China, I attended in-person classes. Whether in a group or one-on-one, lessons were scheduled with students’ availability in mind. I really appreciated how flexible they were. There were also occasional extracurricular activities, and it was possible to take intensive lessons during the summer and winter breaks. I would recommend this school to those who find university Chinese classes unsatisfactory or who want to study while working.

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 !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
