I was previosly a student at the Hutong School and my hours were transfered to That's Mandarin when the Hutong School closed up shop. I've taken an intro class and 2 full classes so far. The two teachers I've worked with, Momo and Li laoshi, are extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable! They appropriately assessed my chinese level and are mindful in what areas I am improving in and what areas need work. The school uses an excellent online service called Nihaocafe.com that holds all the content from your classes, supplies review words and sentences, videos, listening questionaires, and more. I am still finding new functions in the platform. The 1-on-1 classes are held in private rooms with plenty of natural lighting and a giant screen to show the lesson. Couldn't be more inspired and happier!

Great tech + teachers

That's Mandarin uses a very organized online platform that helps you track your materials + vocabulary, and I appreciate their flexibility with online vs offline classes.

The teachers are also very attentive to your needs, customizing the lessons for your goals.

Overall great value + experience.

I had a great experience taking offline classes in this school. The program is built thoughtfully, it is up to date and the knowledge you get could be used in daily life from the very beginning. The course runs smoothly, every lesson I learned more and more. The location is great, the teachers are competent, the atmosphere is friendly. Helpful online platform for self-study between classes, and for taking digital notes.
P.S. I appreciate the effort the school made to design the study material!

As someone starting to learn a new language in my middle years, I have not been looking forward to going back to school. However, That's Mandarin provides a bright, comfortable and very supportive atmosphere that takes a lot of the sting out of sitting in a classroom. The teachers are all very enthusiastic and encouraging, making it feel like your are learning, no matter how much you might have been drained by your working day.

Why study a language? After all, in 2021, contemporary tools offer contemporary solutions to nearly any communication challenge. Or so we'd like to think.

The truth is that learning the mother tongue of those around you will profoundly transform your everyday life here. That's Mandarin has been instrumental to my progression in Mandarin Chinese, for myriad reasons.

  • That's Mandarin's teaching staff was able to quickly and accurately gauge my language level, even accounting for differing levels between listening, reading and speaking, in my case. Together, they worked with me on aspects that needed attention.
  • As someone balancing work and class schedules, I have found the flexibility offered by the staff at That's Mandarin to be crucial in maintaining my learning momentum. When conflicts come up, I have been able to adjust my schedule, and ensure I am continuously learning and making progress.
  • Every single person on the staff in the Beijing Office has, through warm friendship and an outgoing attitude, helped me on my journey with Chinese. The conversations I've had, and friendships I've made, continue to remind me that everyone here in China, from work colleagues to the 保安 on the corner, is a person who I can chat with, learn with and connect with.

I have studied solo, and in short-term university courses, and by far the best experience — and fastest progress — has been my time at That's Mandarin. They have truly helped to open China to me, and beyond the practical uses for Mandarin in my life, I believe I am a better person for it, in large part thanks to them. I cannot thank, or recommend them, enough.

学习语言的价值是什么?毕竟2021年了,我们现代的工具应该几乎能够解决任何交流的问题——但并不完全是这样。

  • 事实却是,学习你周围人的母语会深刻改变你在中国的日常生活。由于多种原因,That'sMandarin对我汉语学习的进步扮演了很重要的角色。
  • That'sMandarin的教学人员能够快速而准确地评估我的语言水平,甚至精确地判断了听力,阅读和口语的不同水平。我们只需要专注需要提高的方面。
  • 作为一个要平衡工作和课程安排的人,我自己发现That'sMandarin可以提供灵活的时间对于保持我的学习动力至关重要。当我的工作和课程有时间冲突时,我能够调整课程安排,并确保我不断学习,不断进步。
  • 在我的“中文学习之路”上,北京校区办公室的每一个人员,通过他们的热情和外向的态度,都在我学习汉语的路上提供了帮助。我有和很多人对话的经历,我建立了的许多友谊,这些都不停地提醒我,在中国的每一个人,从同事到街角上的那位保安,都是我可以聊天,学习和联系的人。

我自己学过汉语,甚至短期的大学课程也学习过,而迄今为止最棒的体验和最快的进步是我在That'sMandarin的时光。他们真的帮助了我打开了汉语世界的大门。学习汉语除了可以在我日常生活中实际应用以外,也让我变成了更好的人,大部分是因为That'sMandarin,尤其是我的老师。我们每天一起认真学习汉语,做到精益求精!!我真不知道该怎么谢谢他们!我真诚地推荐他们,谢谢!

五星!推荐!
