The platform NihaoCafe bring listening, speaking, reading and writing resources together in one place, something I have struggled to find elsewhere. Two months of classes in Beijing have delivered clear progress, as teachers blend professional instruction with a fun, lively style that makes every lesson feel like an adventure. Highly recommended.

I'm glad I picked That's Mandarin over other options. This is my third Mandarin school and it's my favorite by far. From the beginning, they were very helpful and fast at replying when I started inquiring for prices and structure. Upon my arrival everything was set up and I had to do no further arrangements to the course structure or hours; anyone venturing abroad to study understands that consistency is not a constant, but That's Mandarin excels at it. Once in the school, everyone is extremely kind, patient and willing to help. The class structures are fantastic and geared to what I've been looking for. I opted for the 1-on-1 classes and don't regret it. Also, I picked the downtown school, which is a cozy space in a cool building and beautiful street; I highly recommend this location. Last but not least, I want to give a shout out to Joey, who was my first contact, and of course to the professors DaoDao and Sun; they are clearly experienced, but also important, they are very patient and continuously show a will to help their students. I initially came for a couple of months to try it out, but I want to come back next year for a few extra months.

I’ve been in China for two months, and the Chinese classes here have removed my hesitation to navigate daily life in Beijing. Basic phrases I’ve learned let me shop, get rides and chat briefly with local people, and That’s Mandarin has made integrating into this city far easier.

After three years of university Chinese and a year-long break, my skills faded. Starting at HSK2 here, experienced teachers helped me review efficiently, and I quickly regained my footing before advancing to HSK3. I’m now making steady progress and feel confident again.

In Chengdu habe ich mit Sprachlehrerin Wu bei Null angefangen. Nach nur einem Monat konnte ich schon auf Chinesisch bestellen, einkaufen und zum Teil einfachen Gesprächen folgen. Lehrerin Wu ist absolut phänomenal, sie motiviert und spornt an ohne bei komplexen Themen zu überfordern. Ich bin extrem zufrieden mit ihr und That’s Mandarin!

Having studied Chinese for six months at university before letting much of what I learned fade over time, and having visited Beijing three or four times while my aunt was working here, I had long wanted to pick the language back up, so I followed her recommendation that This is the best Chinese language school in China and signed up, finding the VIP support to live up fully to that reputation, with the team arranging accommodation, visa matters, break‑time activities and refreshments so thoughtfully that all attention can go toward practising and improving Chinese alongside friendly classmates, which has made for fast progress and a really enjoyable learning journey.
