I recommend

I’m from Croatia and I spent 2 months studying Chinese at XMandarin in Qingdao and honestly, it was such a great experience. When I arrived, I didn’t speak a word of Chinese, but the teachers were incredibly patient and encouraging. They always made me feel comfortable asking questions, even when I was struggling.

What I appreciated most was how relaxed and friendly the atmosphere is. It never felt like a strict classroom more like learning with friends. We laughed a lot during class, and at the same time, I could see myself improving day by day. The small class sizes really helped with that.

Outside of class, the school organizes cool events and cultural activities. I joined a dumpling-making workshop and a city tour, which were both super fun and helped me connect with other students. Also, Qingdao is an amazing city, clean, by the sea, and with a very chill vibe.

If you’re thinking about learning Chinese, I can recommend XMandarin. It’s not just a school it’s a little community where you learn, grow, and feel at home.
