That's Mandarin rocks!

My level of Chinese was OK before I discovered That's Mandarin, but i had forgot many words due to a change in circumstances and the lack of opportunity to speak with Chinese people at work. Luckily I discovered That's Mandarin, and instantly my Chinese started to improve again.

The teachers are fantastic and offer an extremely affable experience. They tailor the class around you and can quickly determine your level.

I thought the most enjoyable things about the classes were the story 'telling method' where you get to watch an interesting video and then talk about it afterwards. Initially you find yourself describing it in a very basic manner, not too dissimilar to a child would. But after a few classes you are able to express in much finer detail what is happening. For somebody who appreciates visual learning, I found this very effective.
