My Journey Learning Chinese at That’s Mandarin

I always thought learning Chinese was tough because the characters looked like little robots. But after picking up a few languages, I figured, why not take on this mysterious language? So, I decided to give Chinese a shot and found That's Mandarin. I took a trial lesson and then signed up for a one-month group class in Chengdu. I figured learning a language in its environment is the best way. Before heading to China, I learned some basics, like Pinyin and simple greetings. When I got there, I realized that characters don’t have Pinyin, so I decided to tackle the characters themselves. My teacher had some great tricks up her sleeve for learning them. She’d tell me the stories and logic behind each character, which made me fall in love with learning Chinese. After class, I used a website that was super helpful! It’s both practical and visually appealing. All things considered, I highly recommend studying at TM.
