Class curriculum

August 01, 2026by: Juliet Casey - Ireland

My experience abroad is fine it's just the class I'd like to give a review regarding the curriculum, I was told it would be a more oral chinese based class and really it's just another HSK textbook read through which doesn't help for life in china unfortunately, also it's only once a week I'm not sure if its the same for all private classes but really that's not enough to learn and retain information, just for the price of it I kind of expected more

Very good language school

truly appreciate studying at XMandarin in Qingdao! The teachers and staff are wonderful. Balancing private classes with small group sessions has been the perfect way to fast-track my Mandarin. The personalized attention combined with social interaction makes learning both effective and fun. I couldn't ask for a better environment to immerse myself in Chinese culture!"

XMandarin is the place to be in Chengdu, the staff, community and classrooms are lively, supportive and fun! Located in the heart of the city next to a prime subway station, the campus is easily accessible, clean and modern. I couldn’t recommend studying here more!

Private business Chinese courses

I have been working at a Chinese logistics company in Qingdao for the past few months, and I started private business Chinese classes at XMandarin to improve my communication at work. At first, I wasn’t sure if I really needed lessons, my coworkers mostly speak some English, but once meetings and emails got more serious, I realized how important it is to understand the language and business culture here. XMandarin really helped me with that. The lessons were focused on what I actually needed: common phrases for meetings, polite ways to disagree or make suggestions, and how to write short formal messages in Chinese. My teacher also explained cultural things like how hierarchy works in communication, or what kind of tone is expected in different situations. That was super helpful. We met twice a week, and the schedule was flexible around my work hours. The materials were good, but what really helped was that the teacher made the class feel relevant, we even practiced with real examples from my emails or work conversations. After a couple of months, I definitely feel more confident in meetings, and I can follow more of what’s going on. Still a long way to go, but this was a good investment. If you’re working in China and want to improve your professional communication, I’d recommend the private business Chinese classes here.

Real Progress with XMandarin’s Private Classes

I’ve been taking private classes at XMandarin whole working in Qingdao, and honestly, it’s been a great experience. I came in with some basic Mandarin skills, but I really wanted to get more confident speaking and understanding everyday Chinese and the private classes helped me do exactly that. My teacher was super friendly and patient. She took the time to understand what I wanted to work on, and every lesson felt really personal. Sometimes we’d focus on grammar or vocabulary from the textbook, but other times we’d just chat about life in China or cultural stuff, which made it way more interesting and relevant. One of the best parts was how flexible everything was. If my schedule changed because of work, it wasn’t a big deal they were always understanding and helped me move my class time. Plus, the location is super convenient, and the vibe at the school is really relaxed. Everyone there is friendly and speaks good English, so it never felt intimidating. Overall, I’ve learned a lot and actually looked forward to the lessons (which says a lot when it comes to language classes!

I’ve been taking private Chinese lessons at XMandarin in Qingdao and honestly, it’s been great! My teacher is super friendly and really knows how to explain things clearly. The classes are personalized, so I can focus on what I need whether it’s daily conversation, business Chinese, or just getting better at tones I also love how flexible the schedule is. As an international student, that’s super helpful. The staff is super kind and always ready to help with anything, even outside class. I’ve improved so much in a short time and feel way more confident speaking Chinese now.

Thank you XMandarin !

X Mandarin Thanks to this school I could come to Qingdao and learn Chinese. I am too old (62 years) to attend a course at the university, but here there are no limits of age and I am doing a 3 months course, integrating lessons in a little group and private lessons. The atmosphere in the school is really familiar, I normally arrive before the lessons start and I can stay in the lounge drinking coffee, finishing homework or reviewing the lesson. I am helped in my request for help (finding something in the city, problem with a Chinese telephone card...), and I have a lot of fun in the class with my small group and also with my private teacher. I'm also attending the cultural events of the school, a good occasion to learn more about China and to know other students from other classes!!

I came to China with another program before but nothing compared to my experience with xmandarin the course is great, everyone is really compromised to make the best experience ever. The teachers is one of the best I’ve ever had, and every problem I had was promptly solved by the administrators. Could not had asked for a better school!

Feeling real progress !

I really enjoy the one on one lesson. The teacher pays great attention to the student and his progress. In top on that, the teachers and staff quickly respond questions and make themselves available to help.

My teacher was very understanding and professional. Who also made our classes interesting and engaging. We did translations where we discussed the nuances of the different words which gave me better grasp of the language and helped me improve very quickly.
