Chinese Language Programs

I did a one month full immersion program with Lingoinn. My homestay experience was really good. I felt very comfortable and very safe. Both teachers were very professional and very experienced with teaching at the HSK5 level, so I felt like I was in good hands to be better prepared for the HSK5 exam that I'm taking this coming fall. Lingoinn's organization and support was very, very good. They kept checking up on me during the entire homestay and they would always answer our questions very quickly. And also, it was super fun. I was a little bit out of my comfort zone in the beginning, but I adjusted and I was able to have a really fun experience. So, thank you.

Hangzhou is famous for blending ancient history with futuristic tech, and That's Mandarin embodies that exact vibe. You learn using a smart, high-tech platform, yet the cultural excursions take you deep into ancient tea gardens and historical canals. The contrast is fascinating! Learning Chinese in such a dynamic city has given me a true insider's view of modern China. I couldn't have picked a better school or city!

I’ve been studying at the Hangzhou school for four months, and looking back at where I started, my progress is remarkable. I went from struggling with simple greetings to holding fluent conversations about work, news, and daily life. The structured curriculum, combined with regular assessments and platform reviews, ensures you never lose track of what you've learned. It is an invaluable investment in my language skills!

The small group class size (only 4 students in my group!) made a huge difference. Everyone gets plenty of turn to speak, ask questions, and practice real dialogues. The classroom dynamic was lively and supportive, and our teachers kept the energy high throughout each session. I made lifelong friends in my group, and we loved exploring Hangzhou's food scene together after class. It feels like a close family!

As a total beginner, I was nervous about jumping straight into an immersive program, but That's Mandarin made the transition smooth and fun. The teachers break down grammar into simple, digestible steps and foster a warm, pressure-free classroom vibe. Making mistakes feels natural here. In just a month, I went from knowing zero words to comfortably navigating daily life in Hangzhou independently. Highly recommended for beginners!

Tones used to be my biggest struggle, but the teachers in Hangzhou worked miracles with my pronunciation! They use creative visual techniques and patient repetition to ensure I get the pitch right without feeling self-conscious. In every class, I am encouraged to speak almost exclusively in Chinese. Now, local shopkeepers in Hangzhou actually understand me on the first try, which is such an amazing feeling!

As an ethnically Chinese person born in London with conversational Chinese adequate for everyday interactions, all of this spoken ability comes solely from listening to family members rather than any formal language training, which prompted enrolment in an intensive online one-to-one course focused on learning character reading and writing, exploring how Chinese characters are formed and refining pronunciation accuracy.Substantial progress has been made through sessions led by a highly professional teacher who fully recognises these custom learning objectives, yielding highly efficient lessons alongside rapid skill development. NihaoCafe is strongly recommended for self-directed Chinese learners or those with specialised study needs, and the experience will not disappoint.

I started learning Mandarin from scratch cuz my wife‘s Chinese and I prefer to communicate with her family.After completed 32 online lessons with this platform, I have seen measurable progress, so I‘ve extended my subscription.This is a well-organised and professional learning platform, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to study Chinese.

I need Chinese for my job, but I was always too hesitant to start learning. Finally I made up my mind to come to China and give it a go. I looked online for top Chinese language schools, and That’s Mandarin kept coming up. After studying here, I can see why it’s so highly recommended. I started entirely from scratch. The school really pays attention to small details and caters to students’ needs. There’s a refreshment area before class with tea, coffee and lemon water. My teacher is highly professional. The NihaoCafe platform makes reviewing our lessons after class really easy.My learning journey has been so smooth, and I feel much more confident that I can master Chinese.

I started from zero with no prior Mandarin knowledge, and my progress has been much faster than I expected.My teacher is incredibly patient and knows great teaching methods. Every class feels relaxed, yet I pick up so much new content each time. The campus has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Coming to class every day is the best part of my day. In my class I’ve made good friends . After we go back to our own country, we will keep learning That’s Mandarin’s online courses together. This has been the most worthwhile investment I’ve made in recent years. I’m really happy with my experience here.

Before I came here，I already reached HSK4 but I kept hitting a wall. No matter how hard I studied, my level stayed stuck. After studying here for a month now, the progress is amazing. My listening and reading have both improved noticeably. My classmates are warm and friendly. Our whole class bonded closely with our teacher，we became real friends. It was hard saying goodbye to everyone. So I‘ve decided to come back and keep learning Mandarin here. Highly recommended to everyone who is meeting a bottleneck in Mandarin.

I grew up listening dialect at home but never properly learned standard Mandarin. Their online course platform is straightforward to navigate for homework and reviewing lesson content after class. My teacher is excellent — they understand my background well and tailor lessons for me.Surprisingly, Mandarin feels much easier to learn here than I expected. I can see clear progress every week, and now I’m confident that one day I will truly master the language.

I’ve been learning Mandarin at That’s Mandarin for one months and I’m really satisfied. The campus has a comfortable, quiet environment for study. Their platform is user-friendly and helps me review materials after class. My teacher is highly professional, patient and knows how to adapt lessons for adult learners. I can feel steady progress in my speaking and listening. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn Chinese.

I needed to polish my business Chinese for work, and That's Mandarin tailored a private 1-on-1 course specifically for my goals. My instructor focused on industry vocabulary, formal email phrasing, and professional etiquette relevant to modern business in China. The lessons were fast-paced, highly targeted, and flexible around my working schedule. My confidence in professional settings has grown immensely thanks to their expertise.

Moving to China can be overwhelming, but the Hangzhou team made the entire process effortless. They helped me set up my local SIM card, guided me through Alipay, and provided full visa support. Whenever I had a question about city navigation or housing, Michael and the team were always there with quick, helpful advice. Their hospitality made me feel safe and supported throughout my stay. I am super grateful!

The cultural activities organized by the Hangzhou team are fantastic! We’ve enjoyed traditional tea masterclasses, dumpling making, and visits to local historical sites. These events are not only fun, but they also give us a natural environment to practice our Chinese outside the classroom while making great friends from around the world. It’s the perfect way to dive deep into Chinese traditions while building real conversational fluency.

I started with 1-on-1 online classes before arriving in China, and the quality completely blew me away. The online system is stable, smooth, and highly interactive. My teacher shared custom materials on screen and updated my study notes in real-time. It gave me a solid foundation in basic Chinese and boosted my confidence before setting foot in Hangzhou.

The school's Nihao Cafe platform is hands down the best feature. Having all my class notes, custom vocabulary lists, and audio recordings automatically saved online makes post-class revision super straightforward. I can review everything on my phone while taking the metro or relaxing at home. It completely eliminates the need for messy notebooks and helps me retain new words much longer. It's a game-changer for effective language learning.

Combining language study with living in Hangzhou has been a dream. The city offers a unique mix of breathtaking natural scenery—like West Lake and tea mountains—alongside cutting-edge tech hubs. Studying at That's Mandarin placed me right in the heart of this vibrant culture. After morning classes, I love exploring local tea houses or scenic canals with classmates.

What I love most about the Intensive Group Program is how practical the content is. Instead of just memorizing textbook dialogues, we practice vocabulary that I can actually use when walking around Hangzhou, ordering food, or taking taxis. The lessons cover speaking, listening, reading, and writing in a seamless flow. I noticed a massive jump in my daily comprehension within just three weeks. It’s intensive, well-structured, and incredibly rewarding!
