I had good times
December 23, 2025by: Angel Lazarin - MexicoProgram: Online Chinese Learning 1-on-1 - That’s MandarinI prefer this kind of classes more dynamic and i met interesting people from different countries, i like the teachers and practice with them in chinese and apply these in my stay here in Beijing and I hope to get a girlfriend or chinese wife

This is honestly a great choice.
December 23, 2025by: Mandakhsanaa Ganjargal - MongoliaProgram: Intensive Chinese Group Class in 5 Cities | That's MandarinI didn’t expect to enjoy a language school this much, but this place surprised me in the best way. It fits the Shanghai vibe perfectly lively, warm, a bit chaotic in a good way. The moment you step inside, the warm colors and soft lighting make you feel like you’re at a cozy cafe rather than a school. It’s just welcoming. The teachers are honestly great. They’re not only skilled but they actually care. They explain things clearly, they joke around, they notice when someone is lost, and they keep the class moving without it feeling stressful. You can tell they’ve been teaching for a long time. Also all their teachers from different regions of China which very interesting if you want dive into diverse aspects of China and Chinese culture What I really appreciate is how they try to build a community. They organize small events where students can meet each other, which is super helpful if you’re new to Shanghai. One of the events I went to was a Chinese traditional wine party and it was way more fun than I expected. It’s a cool mix of culture, language, and just chatting with people from everywhere. Overall, if you want a place that’s warm, humane, full of life (and not some cold classroom where everyone is quiet) and actually learning Chinese. This is honestly a great choice.
My good experience at That`s Mandarin
December 19, 2025by: Lucas Locatelli - BrazilProgram: Intensive Chinese Group Class in 5 Cities | That's MandarinMeu nome eh Lucas, sou do Brasil. (estou digitando assim porque nao tem teclas em portugues). Em 2023 foi minha primeira experiencia com a escola Thats Mandarin na cidade de Beijing. E agora em 2025 tive o prazer em vir aqui na escola em Shanghai. A escola eh muito boa, com excelentes professores e profissionais. Eu recomendo essa escola para os estrangeiros que querem aprimorar o seu level de mandarim, eh uma baita experiencia que vale muito a pena o investimento.
