Intensive Chinese Study Program in Shanghai - Visa Provided

I came to know Omeida through recommendations and it exceeded my expectations. From the way they organized everything beforehand to the reception and the organization of the classes, everything was excellent. They have a study system that I found very suitable because it immediately puts the student into language practice, and this exposure is very important for learning and retaining a new language. The study materials and the tools provided for practice make the language immersion effective. The teachers propose diverse activities and ensure that each student understands and learns correctly. The proximity of the school, the cafeteria, and the accommodation has provided the necessary conveniences to make everything much more efficient. The cultural activities are carried out with a high degree of commitment to ensure that students learn about and experience Chinese culture firsthand.

I stayed at SN Mandarin for 6 months and it was an incredible experience! Teacher Alex is amazing, everybody loves him and he is truly made for this job. Lisa, program coordinator is very helpful and responsive. I met friends for life and I am very grateful!

And want to come again. I started my studies from scratch and attended lectures for 1.5 months. I arrived on a student visa. The school provides the necessary documents for it in advance and there were no problems. It helps you with any question by email, and also upon arrival in the office they are always happy to help you. Their employee Elizabeth helped me with any question. Since it was my first visit to China, this was valuable. She was in touch with me first by email, and then by WeChat. And I could always contact her in the school office as well. The location of the school is ideal - 15 minutes walk from Nanjing street and 5 minutes from the metro. At first we were in the building, which is located 10 minutes from the metro, but the number of students in the class increased and we changed the building and the room to a larger one. The school has free wifi, there are delicious food places nearby. I also miss steamed dumplings in one of them:)) Our teacher Linda explained everything very clearly and with interesting examples, she is a professional in her field. Special thanks to the director of the school Frank, who is interested in each student and tries to help everyone himself. And thanks to the school, my impressions of the city were more interesting and more authentic. We had a tea meditation and a master class on making traditional sweets.Thank you SN Mandarin!

I have had an exceptional experience at this North South Mandarin language school. The quality of teaching is outstanding, and I’ve made significant progress in my studies. A special thank you to Lisa and Frank for their incredible support and dedication. Lisa has been incredibly helpful throughout my learning journey. She is always patient, approachable, and quick to offer assistance whenever needed. Her guidance has made a huge difference. Frank, the director, brings a wealth of knowledge and professionalism to the school. His leadership is evident in the overall structure and quality of the courses. Frank is always available to offer advice or answer questions, and his commitment to creating a positive learning environment is truly appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn Chinese. With such a dedicated team like Lisa and Frank and all the teachers you are in excellent hands.

Although it took me some time to finally get used to the language, my teachers were always supportive and enthusiastic. The content of the books and the lessons have an easy to follow pace. I'm really satisfied with the school, its teacher, methodology and enriching cultural events :)

Currently taking some classes with Sn mandarin. I had the chance to had two differents teachers, who was for me an incredible chance. I met my current teacher Lena, her way to teach is totally perfect for me since june we started from the basic to hsk3! I am so grateful to this school, thanks to them i was able to land in china for a year. Discovering the culture of this beautiful country. They are often activities but i never went there sadly, because i am leaving in a different city by myself. Even if you are in China you can choose the online class, who is really a + when you travel or don't live next to the school. You can have so many help from the teachers or Frank even if it's not the schedule classes, they will do their best to help us and answering our questions. I love this school, and will continue as long as i can ! ?? thank you to my teacher, and the incredible team of SN Mandarin School !

My experience attending the intensive HSK5 Chinese course was truly transformative. From the very first day, I was impressed by the meticulous organization of the program. The course schedule was well-structured, balancing vocabulary acquisition, grammar, and practical conversation skills. Each class built upon the previous one, creating a cohesive learning experience that felt both challenging and rewarding. The teacher played a crucial role in making this course exceptional. Her expertise in the Chinese language was evident, but what truly stood out was her passion for teaching. She fostered an inclusive atmosphere where I felt comfortable asking questions and making mistakes, which is essential for language learning. Her engaging teaching style combined interactive activities, multimedia resources, and real-life scenarios, allowing me to apply what we learned in more practical contexts. The teacher was truly interested in my improvement and wellbeing, hence, we developed a close relationship. Each lesson included a variety of exercises that catered to different learning styles, covering listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Additionally, her personalized feedback was invaluable to me; she took the time to address my individual needs and provided extra resources if I wanted to further the understanding of the topic. The course also included some cultural elements or curiosities, which truly enriched my learning experience. We explored Chinese customs, traditions, and current events trough our reading exercises, this gave me an idea of the broader context of the language I was studying. The cultural immersion of this experience in china made the lessons even more engaging and helped me appreciate the language on a deeper level. Overall, the HSK5 intensive course exceeded my expectations. I left the program not only with improved language skills but also with a greater appreciation for Chinese culture. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their Chinese proficiency in a supportive and dynamic environment.

I stayed in Shanghai for two weeks of intensive man to man Chinese classes. Top focus was on improving my conversational communication and listening skills, while I had already an advanced level in written Chinese. I can confirm that the quality of teaching at SN Mandarin was outstanding. While the lesson content was very systematic, it was at the same time perfectly taylored to my needs. The location of the school is central and class rooms were also great, as spacious and quiet. Moreover, tuition fees were reasonable. In conclusion, I can truely recommend SN Mandarin to study Chinese in Shanghai. However, as with all schools final success depends on the passion of the students to study themselves, too.

A friendly and pleasant atmosphere in the classroom. The teacher supports and motivates you to speak Chinese. Classes are easy, interesting and relaxed. The administration helps to solve any questions, they are very friendly and helpful.
