General Chinese Knowledge: Campus, Application & Daily Vocabulary
July 29, 2026by: Oskari Leppaaho - FinlandI take the General Chinese Knowledge course every Wednesday for 1.5 hours. We sort vocabulary about university applications, campus services and daily life together. We also have matching word games as interactive activities. The teacher always notices students who fall behind and offers extra guidance. This systematic learning makes me feel fully prepared for overseas study in China.

An Exceptional Mandarin Learning Journey at That’s Mandarin Beijing
December 25, 2024by: Luna Will - AustraliaThat’s Mandarin Beijing strikes the perfect balance between efficiency and enjoyment. Over the past seven months, I have made steady progress in my Mandarin skills, thanks to the school’s innovative and practical teaching methods. Each lesson is thoughtfully designed to cater to real-life situations, helping me gain both confidence and fluency. One of my favorite aspects of the course has been working on group projects in Mandarin, which not only improved my language abilities but also fostered a sense of teamwork and collaboration. A key element of my success has been the NihaoCafe platform. It is incredibly user-friendly and has become an essential tool in my learning process. The platform offers easy access to all my study materials, from grammar lessons to vocabulary practice. It allows me to review and reinforce what I’ve learned whenever I have spare time, making my study routine flexible and efficient. In addition to the online tools, the school offers excellent textbooks that are well-structured and highly informative. These resources have been instrumental in helping me build a solid foundation in Mandarin. Furthermore, the WeChat public account 'thatsmandarin' is a treasure trove of valuable content. It provides helpful tips, updates on school events, and useful learning resources that have enhanced my learning experience even outside of class. Beyond academics, the vibrant community at That’s Mandarin is one of the school’s greatest strengths. I’ve made lasting friendships with classmates from all over the world, and the school’s cultural events have given me invaluable opportunities to explore Chinese traditions and customs. These experiences have enriched my language learning and helped me grow as a person, making my time here far more than just a classroom experience. In summary, That’s Mandarin Beijing is not only an excellent place to improve your Mandarin skills but also a welcoming and supportive environment for personal growth. With its comprehensive learning materials, engaging teaching methods, and vibrant community, I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants a well-rounded, immersive, and rewarding language-learning experience.

China School Trip at That's Mandarin
November 25, 2024by: ArseniiThis October, my friends and I went to Shanghai for a Chinese school trip, and it was such a fun week full of surprises! We had hot pot, tried stinky tofu (which was... interesting!), and saw the amazing view at the Bund. The best part? I went from only knowing how to say "ni hao" to learning so many useful phrases, like "wo ai he naicha," "wo bu zhidao," and even "666." Hahahaha! One week was way too short—I wish I could’ve stayed longer! I really want to come back to Shanghai for another awesome Chinese summer camp like this. Totally recommend it, and fingers crossed I get to come back next summer!
