Practical and engaging courses to improve speaking and listening
I've studied Mandarin at several different schools. Once I found GoEast, I stopped jumping from school to school because GoEast offers what I was looking for all along: practical courses that actually help you improve your speaking and listening skills. Though I had been studying Chinese for a while when I started at GoEast, I couldn't speak well because my courses at other schools were too focused on copying words and sentences down but not actually using them. At other schools, I would go to class without knowing what we'd learn that day, so I'd spend my time in class focusing on listening to the teacher and learning new words without actually using them in a practical way. At GoEast, I can learn new words and grammar structures BEFORE my class using GoEast's online materials, meaning that class time can be used to correct mistakes and actually practice using what I've learned. Moreover, GoEast's materials are extremely well organized and not overwhelming. The amount of content covered in one class is perfect. GoEast is the only Mandarin school I've attended that I feel has actually helped me communicate in Mandarin.
