What That's Mandarin lacks in veneer it more than makes up for with second to none teaching, passion to improve your language ability and stimulating course materials. Forget boring and repetitive grammar drills; look forward to cautionary tales that captivate your imagination yet make this seemingly impossible language conquerable!
After studying Chinese at a nearby University for a semester, and doing so like a geek, I wasn't happy with my progress -- especially with my speaking skills. I was about to give up completely, so I can't thank the teachers enough for rescuing me! And the staff too -- freshly made coffee every time I walked in the door was a great incentive!
That's Mandarin is a great place to learn. The stigma attached to a private school that says private schools aren't recognized like a famous university is nonsensical. Go to a big fancy University and get a certificate. Go to That's Mandarin and get another language. What are you really here for?
