Chinese Visa Program FAQs
We recommend applying at least 3 months in advance to guarantee you will get a spot in a program of your choice, with your preferred schedule. By applying early, you can also benefit from our early bird discount.
Furthermore, you will need to apply for a Chinese visa at least 30 days in advance and longer if you’re applying for a student X2 visa (for long-term Chinese courses only).
Each class lasts 50 minutes. As the vast majority of our students take more than one class per day, a ten-minute break between classes proves to be both necessary and helpful for students to process what they’ve just learned.
A part-time course includes about 4 hours of lessons per week. An intensive course ranges from 6 to 30 hours of lessons per week.
All of our classes are taught in Chinese to give students a fully immersive Chinese experience. Even for absolute beginners, our teachers will only use limited English to help you understand. Our teacher will use pictures, videos, signs, and gestures to help students learn. As your Chinese level progresses, less and less English will be used in your classes and you will be able to understand more and more Chinese every day.
Our teachers are all native Chinese speakers and are university graduates with majors in Chinese language education or Chinese literature. They have also previously obtained a “teaching Mandarin as a second language” certificate before they joined us and successfully completed That’s Mandarin’s mandatory Teachers Training Course (TTC).
Our students come from all over the world, from all facets of life! We’ve had students ranging from 5 to 60 years old as we offer a variety of courses for different age groups and different professions.
We can arrange a free trial class for you so that you can experience our methods directly and find out what makes us different from other Chinese language schools. It will also give you a chance to meet our teachers and to discuss your exact requirements so that we can put together the best possible course for you. We will also give you some recommendations and make a study plan for you after the trial lesson.
