That's Mandarin Chinese Language School Reviews

The school is very friendly and it has a nice relaxed atmosphere. my teacher is very kind, patient and encouraging. I have to tell the stories in Mandarin. This is hard work, but very good for learning.

The best thing about this course is the ability to choose exactly what I want to do. Also I have been sick but the school has been very accommodating.
Sometimes the printer has no link, I think they need to buy a professional laser printer. Brother is a good brand and the refills are big. I really have nothing to say about other aspects because I feel very satisfied until now.

I am satisfy with my learning at the school. The personelle atttitude is very pleasant. The teachers performance is highly appreciated. I would recommend your school as the programme of teaching is efficient.

Dominique, Nikolai, and Alexi took That's Mandarin Intensive Course for 4 weeks during the summer break. I am happy to say that it has helped each of them in their Chinese classes in school. It has brought confidence in their learing & speaking Chinese, It has also made learning in school easier.

We would like to thank That's Mandarin teachers and staff for making their Chinese Summer Camp such a great experience for my daughter. She is 7 and attended That's Mandarin morning summer camp for 4 weeks in 2014. Even though she's half Chinese by ethnicity, she grew up in an English-and German-speaking environment.

As a result she came to the program with extremely little knowledge of the Chinese language. By the time she left the camp four weeks later, she was able to understand basic Chinese used in daily life and routines. For example, she is able to understnad a conversation about what she learnt at school or what she would like to eat. Not only is she able to understand significantly more spoken Chinese, she is even able to answer some questions and requests in Chinese. My daughter is by nature more reserved and shy in unfamiliar situations. Therefore, it makes us very happy to see that she has been encouraged and given the confidence to also speak Chinese herself.

In addition, the school environment was very comfortable and welcoming. The entire teaching staff was also polite and friendly at all times. If condition permits, we would be happy to bring our daughter and younger son to the same camp next summer!

It is a good experience to be in That's Mandarin summer course.
First, the short films are very interesting and I like the stories and sentences that we had done. Short films sometimes were a bit chanllenging, and it also taught me some writing techniques. We use new words that we have learnt to make sentences. That helps a lot for making me more understand the words meanings.
Second, the water that "That's Mandarin" supplied in every room is very good, because you don't have to go out and get a cup and refill some water. The lunch was delicious and we like it.
Third, the activity was fascinating, like make wontons and play Chinese chess are my favourite ones. You could see that I am not the type to go outside in hot days, but I like quiet games. Even though, I love the activies they arranged for us.
Again, thank you That's Mandarin teachers, they are all nice and polite.
I believe I will miss That's Mandarin very much in near further.

I spent 4 weeks in the Intensive language learning program (beginner level) in Shanghai. TM has wonderful, dedicated, smart teachers. The learning methology was very practical, diverse and intelligent. The school was very comfortable and friendly. On top of being a great place to learn Mandarin, TM is a well-run business and it was an absolute pleasure interacting with all the staff. I will definately be back!

That's Mandarin is a good school with enthusiatic teachers who are patient and helpful. Jane has also been very helpful especially in helping me when I first arrived. And my classes have been worthwhile and fulfilling as I feel as though I've learnt a large amount of Mandarin and I've improved drastically.

My 12 year old daughter spent the last three weeks in That's Mandarin's Morning Camp and we have been pleased with her progress. She started off in the beginner course, and with the help of the patient teachers she was able to steadily advance each week. During class, the students work on speaking, writing and character recognition. After two weeks, her language skills have become proficient enough for her to comfortably pick up groceries at the wet market and taking a taxi on her own.

We had initially signed up for two weeks of camp but my daughter enjoyed the class so much and asked for another week. The staff at That's Mandarin was very accommodating with our needs and responsive when we reauested a more intensive, smaller class size for the last week.

We look forward to working with That's Mandarin's online learing and Homestay program in the future to continue the improvement of her Chinese.

This is my first time joining summer camp in Shanghai, throughout the four weeks of the summer camp program I've gained new experiences and knowledge. Furthermore, I've made new friends.

At That's Mandarin, every morning from 9:30 to 12:30 I'm scheduled for writing and speaking mandarin class.

On Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, the students and the teachers goes out to explore China's culture. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon, I participate in China's tradition cultural class for instance calligraphy, masks painting, paper-cutting...etc. Out of all the activities, in the market I bargain with the seller and managed to buy a lot of cheap vegetables. In addition to that, I was able to apply my bargaining skills while shopping around Shanghai.
