Online Language Courses

I took Chinese online classes and had a great experience. The course is well-structured, moving step by step from pinyin to grammar and conversation. Teachers are patient, correct pronunciation carefully, and give plenty of speaking practice. The schedule is flexible and recordings are useful. My listening and speaking improved noticeably.

Ive had classes in this site for almost 2 years and ehat i like the most is the range of schedule available with diferent teachers. Since one class is 45 minutes the teachers keep it eficient and concise. Another point i have to praise is the positive reinforcement i have in classes, mandarin is a hard lenguage to start learning, this has lead me in multiple ocasions to feel like im stuck but the teachers quickly made realize that was not the case with constructive critism. The quality-price is well balance, with dinamic, qualitative classes and trained profesionals i feel like the price of this course is fair.

I've been really happy with my experience at That's Mandarin. Communication and admin were excellent from the start, and everything was clear in the run-up to the course. I'd originally planned to take classes in person, but when my plans suddenly changed, the school was flexible and accommodating, and switching to online classes was no problem at all. The teaching is excellent. The materials, including the videos, are really well prepared, and the shared online notes are very useful. I've had two teachers and both have been outstanding. They've helped me understand how to actually use new vocabulary in everyday conversation. I'd definitely recommend That's Mandarin's online classes: they're flexible, efficient, friendly and effective.

I am so glad I signed up for Chinese lessons with That’s Mandarin. I have made so much progress already in just a couple of months. My teacher is outstanding. She is extremely professional - always organised for class and using different types of activities to teach me. But she is also very fun and I look forward to our lessons every week. I highly recommend That’s Mandarin if you want to upgrade your Chinese learning experience.

Absolutely brilliant: Excellent profesor within a great school. Very helpful with my whole stay in Quito and helped to progress my Spanish at a very fast rate. The administration was extremely helpful and efficient.

Estoy contento con todo: las clases de la maestra, el ambiente de la escuela, la ubicación de mi "homestay". Toda la gente aquí era muy amable y me ayuda cuando le necesita. Participé en la actividad de probar comida callejera y era muy divertida y bien organizada. La administración fue bien organizada y me gusta los cafés y los refrigerios durante las pausas. La escuela esta bien ubicada en uno de mis barrios favoritos, limpio y tiene un jardín bonito

在 That's Mandarin 学习中文的体验真的很棒。该平台非常适合初学者，你可以观看视频并调整播放速度。生词功能也具有互动性：遇到不认识的词时，只需将鼠标悬停在上面即可学习。我的老师（Fan 老师）条理清晰、耐心十足，而且非常风趣！我在一个积极向上的氛围中学习中文；尽管我们遵循既定的课程大纲，但教学安排也非常灵活，能够充分满足我的个性化需求。我们探讨过政治、文化，当然也聊过日常生活的话题。

Maximo Nivel fue muy flexible a la hora de organizar el curso, adaptándose perfectamente al horario que tenía disponible durante el día. Además, me encantó poder participar en actividades con otros estudiantes en San José y vivir de cerca experiencias culturales, como las celebraciones y los desfiles del Día de la Independencia de Costa Rica. También recomiendo mucho el programa de tándem, ya que me permitió conocer y conectar con personas de Centroamérica y practicar el español en un ambiente muy agradable y auténtico.

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 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 thoroughly enjoying the lessons and found the course structure and material really conducive to making real progress, and have seen a noticeable improvement in my speaking, reading and writing. The teachers also make interactions fun and are always ready to give detailed explanations for any queries I have!

When you decide to study Mandarin, you know you are in for hard time. Nihaocafe has taken the worst bite out it by organising thematic lessons with enough vocabulary to get you through a conversation. The APP supporting you features 2 invaluable aids: the vocabulary list with flashcards en the grammar cards. While the teachers each have their distinct teaching methods, their aim is transmitting their knowledge at your pace. Questions are answered patiently making sure you capture properly and when you get completely tangled up, they call for a time out so you can catch your breath again. Feedback is provided on a regular basis and painpoints are picked up in class for reexplanation. Studying with Nihaocafe is a pleasure. (But it does remain a difficult language 😁)

been using Joyn Academy for a few weeks now and im actually really enjoying it!! I tried learning japanese by myself before but always ended up stopping after awhile lol. The live classes make it alot easier to stay consistent and the teachers are really nice and patient even when I keep making the same mistakes 😭 definetly feel more confident speaking now than when I started

The course has been incredibly informative - the teachers get through a lot of content within each class, but strike an excellent balance between a good pace and pushing you to apply your new knowledge, all while maintaining a friendly yet professional atmosphere. Additionally, the wealth of resources provided via the app make studying so much easier and I have really been able to notice the progress I've made over the months since starting!

Before taking classes at Nihao Cafe, I tried online platforms for chinese however I could not find a school that was a good fit for me. I have been taking one class a week for a little over 3 months and so far they are best option for learning chinese online. I really like the way classes are structured and that I have the option to go back to review material from past classes. The teachers at Nihao cafe are very professional and encouraging. I’m really happy with my experience so far and would definitely recommend Nihao Cafe to anyone looking to learn Chinese online.

I've been studying Chinese with That's Mandarin now for 5 months and have enjoyed it. The teacher is good and it's easy to schedule online classes to fit my schedule. The online tool helps to review previous classes and topics.

I cannot speak highly enough of this Chinese language school, and I feel grateful to share my genuine learning experience here. What impresses me most is the team of professional, patient and experienced Chinese teachers. Every instructor has systematic teaching plans tailored for different learners, whether children or adult students. They do not merely memorize textbook knowledge mechanically. Instead, they combine listening, speaking, reading and writing practice reasonably, patiently correct pronunciation errors, and explain grammar rules in easy-to-understand ways. Teachers are always willing to answer questions after class and encourage students to speak bravely without fearing making mistakes, which greatly builds learners’ confidence in using Chinese. Apart from high-quality classroom teaching, the school creates a wonderful immersive Chinese learning atmosphere. Various cultural activities are held regularly, including traditional festival experiences, Chinese speech contests and reading sharing sessions. These activities help students get beyond textbooks and truly understand Chinese culture, history and customs, making language learning vivid and interesting rather than boring memorization. The school also pays close attention to each student’s individual progress. Teachers track every learner’s strengths and weaknesses, adjust teaching pace appropriately, and give targeted learning suggestions. The learning environment is warm, orderly and inclusive. Class sizes are well-controlled to ensure everyone can get sufficient attention. For anyone who plans to start learning Chinese or wants to improve their Chinese proficiency, this school is absolutely a fantastic choice. It provides reliable, high-standard education and creates a supportive community for all Chinese learners. Every minute spent studying here is rewarding.

I am slowly learning new words every class and use it in conversations. My teacher is very patient with me since I usually choose the topic I want to learn. I always look forward to my classes and the team is very helpful whenever I encounter difficulty in the online platform or have changes in my schedules.

I can’t recommend That’s Mandarin and NihaoCafe enough! I long wanted to learn Chinese but was always scared to begin. The tones and characters felt overwhelming for a beginner. Learning online through NihaoCafe is incredibly convenient. No travelling, and I can schedule classes flexibly around my schedule. After just over a dozen beginner lessons, my anxiety about Chinese has disappeared. My teacher，Jin Laoshi is patient and supportive, making speaking practice feel easy. I can see steady progress little by little. I now honestly look forward to every single Chinese lesson.
