Overcoming Challenges in Learning Mandarin

As someone who has always been passionate about Chinese culture, I decided to learn Mandarin. Initially, I was intimidated by the language, as I had heard it could be quite difficult. However, thanks to the incredible support from my teachers, I was able to overcome these obstacles and now feel confident in my ability to have simple conversations with native Chinese speakers.

One of my favorite aspects of That's Mandarin is the cultural activities they organize, such as the dumpling-making event. It was not only fun but also a fantastic way to immerse myself in Chinese traditions while practicing my language skills.

Overall, I highly recommend this school to anyone interested in learning Mandarin and exploring Chinese culture.

A perfect learning experience

I have been studying at That's Mandarin Beijing for the past seven months and have seen steady improvement in my Mandarin skills. When I started, I had some prior knowledge but still struggled with grammar and sentence structure. The teachers carefully evaluated my level and tailored the lessons to help me fill in those gaps, which was incredibly helpful.

The school’s flexible schedules and interactive materials really stood out to me—they make learning efficient and enjoyable. I especially appreciate the practical focus during lessons, like how we practiced ordering food in Chinese before a group outing to a local restaurant. These events not only gave me a chance to use Mandarin in real-life situations but also boosted my confidence.

After just four weeks, I was thrilled to be able to have basic conversations, even though I still make mistakes. Of course, learning Mandarin is challenging, and some grammar points take time to sink in, but the teachers are always patient and supportive.

I highly recommend this school to anyone serious about improving their Mandarin, especially if you're looking for a mix of structured lessons and practical application.

3 months learning in China!

I invested three months in mastering Chinese with the dedicated team at That’s Mandarin Hangzhou (TMH), and it was an absolute delight! Every moment was cherished, creating memories that will last a lifetime. The instructors are not only amiable and proficient but also incredibly supportive and approachable. TMH goes above and beyond by organizing a plethora of engaging cultural activities, enriching experiences, and enjoyable outings. As an international student, you are warmly welcomed, thoroughly supported, and made to feel right at home. TMH boasts its own proprietary teaching materials and an advanced digital platform, which significantly simplifies the Chinese learning process. Moreover, they adhere to the HSK curriculum, ensuring that you are well-prepared for the HSK exams should you decide to take them.

Great school, would come back if I could!

Attentive staff, very good and experienced teachers. I’m not writing this because they forced me to do this, I truly believe it’s a great school to learn fast and efficiently.

Through my job, I had the opportunity to attend other schools. They tend to be more of a money grab than actually trying to provide quality education. At That's Mandarin it’s the opposite. I can highly recommend it.

I left China after two years and it’s been with the help of this school that I can say I made it to conversational level. 谢谢大家

Great school

Wonderful school and facilities, an oasis in Beijing. Great teachers and well-organized. This was a great experience and really helped my Chinese language improve. My teacher Rao Loashi is great! The school also sets up extracurricular events like movies and mahjong night, which is great if you are new to Beijing and need to make friends. It also helps with practicing your language in different ways. The online platform Nihao Cafe is great too and helps with language practice with the awesome videos.

The feeling of learning Chinese

The teacher was professional, patient, and highly knowledgeable, making even complex aspects of Mandarin feel approachable. The teacher was patient, encouraging, and always willing to adapt to my pace.
The focus on real-life conversation was especially valuable, as it gave me the confidence to use Mandarin in normal situations. I practiced real-life conversations and learning cultural nuances that are essential when communicating in Mandarin.
Speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills have improved along the way of this curriculum.
