That's Mandarin Chinese Language School Reviews

I lived in China 3 years and I attended 3 different schools. That's Mandarin was overall the best one.
I just completed the first year of lesson in this school and even if I am not living in China anymore, I am planning to keep studying at That's Mandarin.
Really supportive staff and great teachers.
That's Mandarin teaching method is almost perfect, they combine in a really good way the grammar part of the language with the every day life part.

That's Mandarin is THE place to learn Chinese!
Staff is nice, always very helpful, super flexible and understanding. Classes are designed individually and each teacher responds very well to your special needs or targets. I especially like the fact that my teachers make notes for me during the classes with example sentences and explanations,so I can just concentrate on talking, understanding and listening, and Review at home what we did in class. short movies are available online on your personal account, which makes it really easy to Review everything. All notes, listening stories and The class rooms are comfortable, you have your privacy and it's calm, each room has Computers and Whiteboards. Learning Speed and repitition frequency is very good, just adapted to my level and review time at home... :)
They have some cool events each month where you can improve your Chinese beyond the classroom.
Additionally the atmosphere (Beijing) is very nice, and all is lovely prepared to make students comfortable and to support their learning.
I have tried other language schools, but the teaching style and professionality here is really great!

It was really interesting to stay in Shanghai and learn chinese.

I would recommend this program to everyone who want to have a great experience in China.

Learning chinese becomes easy in That's mandarin thanks to the great teachers. I was a beginner when I arrived here but now I can communicate with Chinese people.

The first day I arrived at Thats Mandarin I heard the words,"你好！＂From that second I wanted to give up learning Chinese and go back home. I could not understand what my teacher was saying.And I thought Chinese was hard as a stone.

However, after 6 months it was a different story. I came to China not knowing even a single word of Chinese but after six months, I was able to reach HSK　Level 4 and started learning Business Chinese.

There is only one thing that I realised which made achieve thisgoal - it was the teachers! Young, passionate, dedicated, listening, understanding and continuous improvement are some of the many character traits my teachers embodied. Inside the classroom, they created an atmosphere where you pushed yourself as a student to be eager to learn more and ask more questions. Even at times where you forgot a single word learned a minute ago, they will passionately and supportively wait for you to remember the word without portraying any sad face. I found that really profound！

As am leaving, I will continue learning Chinese most by myself. The foundation in which Thats Mandarin teachers built in me would made it possible for me to continue learning. They tought me the fundamental building blocks of Chinese.

谢谢大家！！！！

I came China and took the opportunity to learn the language. I've learned a few languages before but Chinese is different from them. I had two main difficult areas, tones and writing. I think most of foreigners have similar difficulties.
The school staff is kind and ready to help. It's very important in the schocking mements when I realize that mixed two words which sound so similar (for me, for Chinese they are completely different of course). I feel the staff do all what they can, but an old dog can't easily learn new tricks.

I have found my lessons with That's Mandarin enjoyable and informative. I feel I have learned a lot in the classes. I like the informal style. My teachers are very good.

After each of the classes, I got paper notes and online notes on MandarinCafe, with key grammar, related vocabulary and sentence. I can review after class with these sentence structures, questions words, measure words, etc. both in paper and online, which is very helpful and practical in daily life.

Thanks for That's Mandarin, I have made much progress in Chinese learning, and I will definitely come back to learn Chinese in 2016!

I have spent my 9 months studying with That's Mandarin, during which I made much progress. I'll recommend That's Mandarin to all my friends.

I like their:

- Flexible schedule (very easy to reschedule or cancel any of the classes);
- Nice teacher, very professional and patient;
- Very helpful team (fast answer for emails, helpful and kindly people there);
- Very convenient location, just 5 minutes' walk away from my apartment;
- Good classes (learn a lot of vocabulary and sentences for the daily life);
- Great to have the resource of the classes on MandarinCafe learning system;
- Though they do not use books, but all the materials are put on the online learning system MandarinCafe, which is very convenient for me to review and listen to the recordings.

Overall: Great 9 months, and I will highly recommend That's Mandarin to my friends!

The children loved learning Mandarin in the summer camp. There were other children of similar ages and they learnt and played together. The teachers were great and made them and all of us very comfortable.

The content of the programme was suitable for their abilities and the voucher system encouraged them to do better which is a brilliant idea.

I come from Canada with my three children each 5, 7 and 9, we chose That’s Mandarin Summer Camp, because we found their website and the website is very professional. They emphasize the safety, safety is very important for us because we are overseas. We really wanted to have a try. When we came here the experience was great. The kids have classes in the morning, they get supposed to reading, listening, as well as writing characters. And in the afternoon, they have acting craft and as also are supposed to learn Chinese culture like making Chinese dumplings and making Chinese kites. On two days of the week we get to go out, to Chinese garden, zoo, etc. The kids absolutely enjoy the experience. We love that teachers gives where they get points by speaking Mandarin, and also doing their homework, and even when we go outdoors, they have task where they are suppose to speak to the local Chinese people in Mandarin, and try to get a taste of what is like in China. The teachers are great, they are very friend to the kids, and they are aware of the kids’ strength and weakness, and the way they learn. Even during the lunch time, they are very care about what food the kids like to eat and what they don’t, so they keep adjust the menu according to the kids’ taste. After the first week, we would actually like to stay longer, because this camp is so fun, we stay here for 4 weeks, and my children wound not like to leave and they want to stay longer. We plan to come back again next year during the summer to learn more Chinese. When they first came, they don’t speak mandarin much, and my youngest who is 5 not even understand mandarin much. At the end the 4 weeks, now when I speak to him in mandarin, he can understand most of what I say. And his intonation in mandarin now is also much more accurate than when we first came. So I would recommend this camp to any parents who would like their kids to experience learning Chinese and culture and also experience China in a very relax and also enjoyable manner.

I studied in TM for 4 hours every morning for a period of 4 months when I lived in Beijing in 2012. When I moved back to the States, I continued studying via Skype. I have tried a number of study programs in Beijing and over Skype. The teachers in TM are exceptionally smart and creative and fun to work with. The facilities are in a great location and are very welcoming!
