Learn Mandarin in China - Chinese Visa

Before coming to China, I was really stressed about the visa process. It’s not super clear when you’re trying to figure it out from Europe, and everything online seems complicated or outdated. Luckily, the XMandarin team was super helpful from the beginning. They explained everything clearly, told me exactly what documents I needed, and were really patient when I had questions (which was a lot haha). They helped organize the invitation letter and supported me through the application. Once I arrived in Qingdao, they also helped with the residence registration and local formalities, which can be a bit overwhelming if you’re alone in a new country where they barely speak English. If you’re planning to do an internship or study Chinese and you need visa help, I’d definitely recommend reaching out to them. It’s not a magic solution, but they do make the whole process way smoother.

I came to China through the visa program with XMandarin, and overall, the process was pretty smooth. They helped me get all the documents I needed ahead of time, like the internship invitation letter and guidance on what to submit to the Chinese embassy. It definitely made things less stressful, especially since it was my first time dealing with a Chinese visa. What I appreciated most was how responsive the staff were. Anytime I had questions (and I had a lot), they replied quickly and walked me through everything step by step. It’s not a 100% hand-holding experience you still have to go to your local Chinese consulate and sort things on your end but they give you the materials and direction to make sure it all works out. Once I arrived in China, they also helped with the residence registration and explained how to stay compliant with local regulations. That part was really helpful because it can be confusing at first.

Ik wilde graag Chinees leren en tegelijk netjes mijn studentenvisum regelen. Via XMandarin kwam ik hier terecht, en dat was een slimme keuze. Wat ik vooral waardeer, is dat ze je stap voor stap helpen met het visum, dat pakken zij echt voor je op. De lessen zijn fijn, niet te groot, goed tempo, en de docenten zijn geduldig. In mijn groep is er altijd ruimte voor vragen, wat het makkelijker maakt om ook moeilijke dingen te begrijpen. Buiten de lessen om is het ook fijn dat het personeel je helpt met praktische zaken, zoals huisvesting of het leven in Qingdao. De stad zelf is relaxed, met veel leuke plekjes en dichtbij de zee. Als je serieus Chinees wilt leren en tegelijkertijd een visum nodig hebt, zou ik zeker aanraden om via XMandarin te gaan. Het scheelt veel zorgen en je leert echt iets.

I came to Qingdao through XMandarin’s student visa program, and overall it’s been a really positive experience. The visa part was actually the main reason I chose them they helped with all the documents and made the process much less stressful than I expected. Everything was handled professionally and on time. The classes are small and pretty flexible. My teacher is nice and explains things clearly, and the pace works well for me. It’s definitely helped me build confidence with speaking, even though Chinese is still hard :( The school has a chill atmosphere, and the staff is friendly. It’s not super formal, which I actually prefer. Also, Qingdao is a great place to live not too crazy, close to the beach, and with a nice mix of locals and internationals.

Getting a visa for China can be a headache, but XMandarin made it super easy, they guided me through every step, helped with paperwork, and answered all my questions quickly. The whole process was way smoother than I expected. What I appreciated most was how responsive and friendly the team was, I never felt lost or stressed. If you're planning to study in China and need a visa, I’d definitely recommend going through XMandarin. The classes are also good too, really interactive and a fun way to learn mandarin.

I strongly recommend XMandarin, the teacher are very competitive, the administration people are very friendly, if you are new I Qingdao they can help you yo setup your stay. We do a lot outdoors activities as well. Recomiendo la escuela XMandarin, los profesores son muy competentes, los encargados de administración son muy amigables, si eres nuevo@ en Qingdao y necesitas ayuda,ellos te ayudan.

My time in Qingdao, China was transformative. The city's unique blend of modernity and tradition captivated me, enriched by its stunning coastal scenery and German-influenced architecture. A highlight was taking part in a Mandarin language course, which allowed me to connect with locals and experience their legendary hospitality. Culinary adventures, especially enjoying fresh seafood and participating in cooking classes, deepened my appreciation for Chinese culture’s emphasis on food as a communal experience. Exploring Qingdao’s famed beer culture and breathtaking beaches offered unforgettable experiences and fostered new friendships. Despite some challenges in adapting to a new culture, every obstacle enhanced my resilience, leading to greater self-discovery and appreciation for diversity.

XMandarin organises many interesting events that everyone can take part in and find out more about Chinese culture. The process of learning Chinese is very enjoyable and stress-free.

I had a great time learning Chinese at XMandarin. I had a small class (two or three students total), and a great teacher who supported us the whole time. She has a great way of teaching, making sure it stays interesting and we learn a lot. I always look forward to my classes. We’re using the HSK method, which works great.

I had an amazing time at Xmandarin, the school environment is great, the staff is very friendly and always willing to help, they organize cultural immersion activities and small trips, we had so much fun! and the most important, the teachers are amazing, I've improved a lot my mandarin while attending the school, I highly recommend it if you want an immersive mandarin learning experience.

Every process went smooth, they helped me with every detail and helped me solve the problems while living in China. Every two weeks there are activities to communicate with Chinese people and comprehend the culture. Teachers are also so kind and teach well. I definitely recommend!

The xMandarin staff are very welcoming and professional. They offer small group classes, with focus on speaking, that have helped my Chinese speaking ability to improve greatly. They also organize cultural activities that have gave me a good insight into Chinese culture. I have enjoyed this experience and would recommend to anyone looking into expanding their knowledge on Chinese language and culture.

We did 4, 2 hour beginners classes which were great! We first learned how to pronounce the pinyin and applied this to useful words and phrases. Our class was of 15, but the teacher always ensured that everyone was pronouncing everything correctly before moving on. All in all, really useful classes!
