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.

Preparing to attend university in China and finding the Chinese instruction at my preparatory programme dull and uninspiring, I signed up here on a trial basis, discovering an environment that stands apart as the only place where meaningful progress in Chinese feels achievable, an experience I would suggest to anyone stuck with similar frustrations.

Having moved to Beijing with my family for work, I started learning survival Chinese from scratch with worries about how challenging this journey would turn out, yet the practical language covered in every lesson transfers directly to daily situations, opening up new parts of the city for me to explore each day, and the growing ease with which I can handle small everyday tasks brings a real sense of excitement, all supported by the well-designed NihaoCafe platform and highly competent teachers whose work I would recommend to anyone starting out and feeling intimidated by Chinese.

Having studied Chinese briefly back at university, I joined the ING group class at That’s Mandarin one month ago, where steady progress has been far easier to achieve than expected thanks to the teaching approaches adopted by the teachers, who manage to turn the process of learning Chinese into something straightforward and genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommend！

At That's Mandarin you have small classes with a great structured lessons. The teachers are very helpful and make the words and phrases applicable to daily life. The best part of learning is being in a group with people that are also doing the same thing.

I really like that's mandarin for many reason ; 1 . small classe which help get better easily and lot of laoshu which help varie the way of education and learning ; 2. good ressource with the nihao cofee platform ; 3. good mood in the school

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.

After just two weeks of my intensive Chinese course, I can honestly say that my Chinese has improved significantly in a very short time. I highly recommend an intensive course to anyone who wants to make rapid progress. The classes are interactive, and you learn new vocabulary and sentence structures every day. The school also gave me the opportunity to make new friends from all over the world, including students from other classes, as everyone gathers in the lounge during breaks. I still have another month and a half of classes ahead of me, so I’m confident that by the end of the course, my Chinese will have reached a level I could hardly have imagined before starting! Overall, it’s a great environment for learning Chinese quickly while meeting new people!

My experience learning Chinese at That’s Mandarin has been extremely positive. The friendly atmosphere, highly capable teachers, and terrifically useful online resources has made the process of learning Chinese as straightforward and enjoyable as possible. Would most certainly recommend!

I find the classes to be engaging and they make it easy to both retain knowledge and build upon what I have learned. It is a great opportunity to surround myself with students who have similar goals, and the school provides class dates that are accessible.

Nice teachers, I like the atmosphere. Recommend it to you'all, come visit this school , you will like it. A lot of events and outside activities, so there is an possibilities to practice. Great people and classmates here, from all of the countries around the world.

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!
