Students’ Feedback

What Our Students Say

I have been studying Chinese on my own using cellphone APPs for over a year, but at this school, in just a short time, I feel my Chinese has dramatically improved!! I would highly recommend That’s Mandarin school to anyone who really wants to learn Chinese and see immediate results. It’s a great school and I am so happy to have found such an outstanding program.

Fletcher D, The USA

Student

I learned so much in so little time. The experience has also motivated me to deepen my learning and to work towards a high level of fluency. The teachers we had during the intensive class were just great, answering our innumerable questions while helping to make the whole experience fun (an important element to effective learning).

Sam M, Canada

Student

My instructors are great at teaching and have great personalities. They really make the classes fun and I actually had a ton of good laughs from one’s stories. Class sizes are small so the sessions feel very intimate which is perfect for me.

Frequently Asked Questions

GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

What is the course schedule?

According to the new visa rules, to obtain the Student Visa, you need to have a minimum of 15 hours of classes per week. The classes will be held in the morning, from Monday to Friday from 9 am to 11:50 am with a 10 minutes break after each class (a total of 3 classes per day). That way you will have the whole afternoon and evening for yourself. Saturdays and Sundays will be “free-from-classes” days so that you can fully enjoy your stay in China.

Who are the teachers?

Our teachers are all native Chinese speakers who are highly-qualified and experienced in teaching Chinese to foreigners. Our teachers 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).

What teaching materials do you use?

We developed our own teaching and learning methods. We use our own Chinese learning platform for all our classes. There you can find all the materials, read the teacher’s comments, review your lessons, and even schedule your classes.

Will the classes be taught in English?

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 remember and understand new material.

Do you provide accommodation?

Yes. We can help you to arrange your accommodation in China. The accommodation options are different for different campuses. Please contact us directly to get more information.
