Charlie Gordon

I looked forward to going to school for my classes and did not dread another boring class of slightly impractical language in university. I wanted to study Chinese for pleasure due to my general interest in Chinese culture, and also to reconnect with my Chinese heritage. Having googled for schools in Beijing, I found That's Mandarin. I really enjoyed the practical, communicative approach of That's Mandarin and the friendliness of everyone at the school. I would absolutely recommend That's Mandarin to anyone. After studying Chinese in University, I did not have a grasp of very basic, everyday vocabulary. That's Mandarin teaches practical, everyday language that I wanted and needed to learn to be able to communicate and interact with others in Chinese. All the teachers are not only very professional and serious about what they do, but they are very friendly, warm and encouraging of students which leads to a very nice atmosphere for students to learn in. I looked forward to going to school for my classes and did not dread another boring class of slightly impractical language in university. No boring, grammar-oriented academic language!
