XMandarin Marketing and Social Media Internship

I'm Joss, I had the opportunity to come to Qingdao, China to join the XMandarin team as a marketing intern since the beginning of March. As my major is also related to Chinese, I also attend hsk 5 group classes twice a week! Overall I really enjoy my experience here, my colleagues are very kind and helpful and the work atmosphere is very nice. I get to learn many things about marketing and building partnerships with international companies and schools, as well as social media marketing, development, and content production, which I'm sure will come to be very handy for my future career. The classes are nice, our teacher is very kind and she has a great sense of humor, she manages to put us at ease and not be afraid to speak Chinese and make mistakes. Participation is probably the greatest aspect of my class, the teacher always engage with us by asking questions related to our life to practice what has just been learned, and my group only have between 4 to 5 people per class, which is great because it gives us a lot of opportunities to speak and practice our Chinese. Moreover, Qingdao is a beautiful city, the people are always nice and I get many opportunities to engage with locals wherever I go. Also the beach is only 20mn away from the school and I often go there on weekends for sunbathing and having a few drinks :) I also like the events organized by the school as they allow me to discover new places and have fun with the other students. I would definitely come back here with in the future!

Really enjoyed my internship time at xmandarin. Got the chance to experience the chinese culture and also the colleagues were so good to me. If i were a student i would definitely return again. Fairy was so nice and gave me tips and the flexibility to learn

XMandarin has been an amazing experience! My colleagues were great to work with and very helpful. XMandarin helped me with the whole process of getting to China and living here for 6 months. They helped me integrate and immerse myself into the Chinese culture and showed me the beautiful city of Qingdao, if I had the opportunity to do it again I would do it 100%!

For 5 months I did a marketing intership in XMandarin. They helped me through the whole process of coming to China. I learned a lot of the way of business in China. Besides the business part, we also always organized events in Qingdao with our students. This was one of the best parts of my experience in XMandarin. Other than working here, Qingdao is a great city and there also was time to visit other cities in China. The country is in my opinion amazing and I will for sure come back to visit China again.

My time at XMandarin for the internship has been very nice so far and helpful for my personal development. Learning marketing and exploring its culture has been a fantastic experience! I've been able to dive deep into the working culture and traditions, which has been awesome for broadening my horizons. What's been really great is that I've gotten to do a lot of hands-on stuff. From practicing working stuff to getting involved in cultural activities, it's been a fun and interactive learning experience. Plus, being around supportive people who are also learning has made it feel like a big family. The mentors at XMandarin have been amazing too. They've given me tips and tricks to improve, and I've felt comfortable asking them anything. It's made me feel more confident in my abilities and excited about my future learning journey. Overall, this internship has been a positive adventure, and I'm grateful for all the knowledge and experiences I've gained. It's definitely set me up for success in my language learning and beyond!
