That's Mandarin: an adventure to learn Chinese

My experience at this school has been very rewarding. The teachers are very supportive, they have been very flexible with my schedule and have helped me with all the problems and questions I have had throughout my Chinese learning. I started studying Chinese completely from scratch with teacher Meng Chen (孟晨) since two years ago. Today, thanks to That's Mandarin and Meng laoshi, my communication skills have improved enormously. They have helped me to gradually fulfil my dream of speaking Chinese fluently and naturally. The classes are very practical and motivating. In each class, you will find practical vocabulary that you can apply on a daily basis. In addition to the content, which is of high quality, the teachers make the class very interactive and engaging. I really enjoy the classes and practicing Chinese in each class. I totally recommend this school. I am totally sure that their method works because it has helped me to break the Chinese barrier and has completely changed my life. You will surely find the right teacher at That's Mandarin that will help you to reach the level of proficiency in Chinese.

What was your funniest moment?
The funniest moment was when I started to read chinese characters without need of pinyin. It was a great achievement and motivated me a lot to continue no matter how hard the language was.
Pros
  • Flexible Schedule around the world
  • Dynamic and engaging teachers
  • lot's of experience in teaching chinese
Cons
  • It would be great if the class can last 1 hour.
  • It would be great that the school organize conversation workshops among students

我在That's Mandarin 苏州校区的体验/ My experience at That's Mandarin Suzhou Campus

这个地方不错,我们南乔治亚岛和南桑威奇没有这种那么好的中文语言学校。这里的老师都是大美女然后教育能力连一点都不差!

非常推荐这个地方,大家都可以来试试看。

English Version:
Coming to Suzhou to study was a great decision! It has all the benefits and conveniences of a big city, without the overwhelming population density of Shanghai, Beijing, etc.

The city streets are lined with trees, and friendly retirees are everywhere, willing to stop and chat with you even if just for a moment. The canals and gardens of Suzhou are famous all around the world and make for great sightseeing after class.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
广西的仰望天空,安徽徽州臭鳜鱼!都很好吃,回国以后一定要想法骗大家来试试看。
中国的美食很多,大家一定会找到他们喜欢的那种!
Pros
  • 大美女老师/ Beautiful teachers
  • nihao cafe 的教育系统很好用,对我学习来的不少的帮助 / The education system of nihao cafe is very easy to use and has helped me a lot in my studies.
Cons
  • 大美女老师的薪水有点儿低,可以提高一点 / The salary of beautiful teachers is a bit low, it can be raised a bit

If you're looking for a great language school online

Although I was born in Beijing, my family immigrated to Canada when I was 6, and I am currently a university student in PKU. To improve my Chinese, I chose this online Chinese school and take two lessons a week. The course content is very practical, with a strong focus on improving my reading and writing skills.

The teachers are patient, and the teaching methods are flexible, helping me quickly improve my language abilities. I can now read Chinese articles and have made noticeable progress in writing. The school’s course arrangement is perfect for me, allowing for adjustments based on my needs and pace.

I am very grateful for the school’s help and look forward to continuing my studies to further improve my Chinese!

My Wonderful Online Learning Experience with NihaoCafe

I just arrived in Shenzhen for work and chose this online Chinese school. I’m really happy with it!

The course content is simple and easy to understand, and the teachers explain things very clearly, which helped me get started quickly. The platform Nihao Cafe is stable, and the flexible learning schedule is great for beginners like me.

Thanks to this online school, I've now reached a point where basic conversations with my Chinese colleagues are no longer a struggle. I can sense my own rapid progress day by day, and it fills me with pride and motivation. That's why I'm eager to spread the word to other expats who are new to China. It's truly a great resource for anyone looking to dive into the Chinese language.

World-class education and dedicated support

I’ve been taking one on one lessons with That’s Mandarin for almost two years now and I’m so impressed with how my tutor has adjusted the curriculum and met my needs. Together we’ve analyzed Chinese poetry and prose and I’ve learned a lot about Chinese literature and literary devices. As soon as I express an interest in a topic, my tutor is quick to find material that dovetails with that. We’ve learned historical context about each piece as well which greatly enriches my understanding of texts. It’s already helped me embark on a career as a translator. Highly recommend!

Chinese class

If you are looking not just to learn the language but also to know about Chinese culture, definitely I recommend having a class with Mrs Wang. She explains really well, also has a lot of patience, knows how to make you understand the structure, and also gives you a lot of tips to improve your daily speaking. Her class is dynamic and fun, so it is not difficult to be interested in the content and participate actively. She is the best teacher in town. I have improved a lot my abilities with the language and she has been a great support in my adaptation to China, because is not just learning a new language but also understanding a new culture. This would be my second year, and for sure I will sign for the next one with the same teacher.

Wonderful Experience in Chinese Learning at Nihao Cafe

Thank you so much for the school’s dedicated teaching! The courses are conducted entirely in Chinese with clear explanations and rich content. My teacher Shi is highly professional, patient, and attentive, making learning enjoyable and effective.

Even though it’s an online course, it’s very interactive, the platform Nihao Cafe is stable, and there are plenty of resources after class to help reinforce what I’ve learned. I’m very satisfied with my progress in Chinese and feel much more confident now!

100% Recommended!!! Best Chinese online courses at best Chinese school!!!

I’m really happy with my Mandarin studies at NihaoCafe. The staff is friendly, and my teacher is dedicated and attentive, using personal examples to make lessons relevant. The material is simple at first but helps you build sentences even with a limited vocabulary. The online platform is helpful for reviewing lessons and practicing extra exercises. I also love the flexible class booking. I highly recommend this school to anyone seeking a nurturing, effective, and flexible learning environment!!!!
