The Search- After arriving here in Beijing , I tested different language schools and different group classes for about a month. But I quickly realised I was wasting more than half the time in class because I couldn't get the teacher to focus on what I wanted. Suddenly the cheaper price of group classes seemed rather expensive. Now the clock was ticking. I had three months left to pick up as much oral Chinese as possible before starting my job.
Then I ran into That's Mandarin's ad. After my trial lesson, I realized that my vocabulary was embarrassingly limited or totally useless in everyday life. I knew I had to build it up and increase my confidence immediately. That's Mandarin has let me do just that.
The Economics- With That's Mandarin, you learn more per dollar or RMB spent. Don't be fooled by prices alone. What are you actually learning in your class? How much speaking time are you getting? How much control do you have? With one-to-one lessons, the focus is on you and you are learning and improving 100% of the time.
The Results- That's Mandarin's stories are interesting, fun and easy to learn from. I'm amazed at the end of each lesson how much new vocab I have picked up. Now instead of taking my pocket Chinese dictionary with me around town, I grab my notebook from That's Mandarin's lessons -- the new words are immediately applicable to everyday life. A few days ago my notebook came in handy as I flipped through the pages looking for the perfect words to spar with the cab driver. He really got a kick out of it!
Since leaving Beijing, I have continued my classes with That's Mandarin using Skype. I have the exact same teachers as I had in Beijing and pay roughly the same per hour. I am really happy with the results and it's my pleasure to recommend the services and teaching method of That's Mandarin.Read more testimonials...
