Experience fantastique

May 22, 2026Laurence Leclerc - France

Franchement, une super expérience. L'équipe est super accueillante, on se sent tout de suite à l'aise, un peu comme à la maison. Zéro prise de tête, que des bonnes ondes et des rencontres incroyables. Je recommande à 100% à tous ceux qui veulent apprendre en mode chill mais efficace

The perfect boost

May 22, 2026Charles Eijsbouts - Netherlands

Between 11 and 22 May 2026 I had the pleasure of attending That’s Mandarin Beijing and my impression of the school and the programme is very positive indeed. The school is in a nice area and the inside of the school is pleasant, spacious and friendly with a pantry and communal area adjacent to the reception. There are 20 or so small class rooms all equipped with airco and large screens. The pantry has coffee and tea and is smartly set up not to generate a lot of clean up for the School staff. Washroom facilities are more than adequate. My group level was 5 (HSK 3) which for me was excellent. I am finalising my reading of HSK 4上, so most of the vocabulary and grammar was known. The interaction in the class was very pleasant. The daily rotation of teachers I found very nice. What is particularly well done I found is: (a) Interaction with the school through WeChat extremely efficient and pleasant (b) New words discussed during class are added by the teacher to the materials, so that after class you have all the new words discussed. You don’t need to take notes or to write characters during class which would be distracting and would slow down the interaction. (c) The on line class materials allow easy clicking to show translation and pinyin + tones. Very easy. (d) Exercise questions are – I found – well done (listening, reading, writing). For a two week boost, this was perfect for me. Thank you.

May 22, 2026Jenu Kuth - Germany

I had a wonderful experience with my private teacher who tailored the lesson to my favour and my level. The service was extraordinary (from e-mail communication to check out). It was nice that all activities were included and teachers were flexible. Would come back !!!

Everything was so much fun and I learned so much. I made life long friends and is truly an experience you can’t find anywhere else. Recommend it to anyone that wants to learn, help, and meet new people!

An amazing course and experience

I started this course with anticipation and it exceeded my expectations. The clarity , teaching of specific points was exemplary and I have learnt a lot whilst doing this course. I am excited to now start my career as a TEFL teacher!!!

Perspective

May 22, 2026Zilai Li - Canada

First day at the nursing home, I was excited to help out, but meanwhile I was a little sad about seeing the elderly, since some of them was not able to move or talk anymore and I hoped my parents don’t end up like that one day. When I first meet the elderly I kinda see them more as patients or disabled people. However, on the last day, all of them gave me kisses and Huggies and they even prayed for me. I feel bad with how I see them at first, they are all very nice people. Awesome experience!

studing chinese is my hobby

May 22, 2026Peter Fairchild - Australia

Since I retired I have been able to spend more time studying Chinese. I have used several APPs and attended schools in my home town Melbourne. However, nothing beats That's Mandarin for both online classes and group studies in Shanghai. My online teacher, Bao laoshi is terrific. She is patient and always encouraging me. Further, all my online and group needs are professionally organised bu my Administrator Grand. Also, the school in Shanghai is centrally located and very convenient for exploring the city.

Nothing is bad, just good and very smooth

May 22, 2026Andrea López - Mexico

I have my experience here being very smooth and I learned many things. I think that they have put much time into the course and the activity to help us remember and to test learning. I enjoy muchly the watching of real teachers with classes.
