Excellent Chinese School Ever!
Teachers are all enthusiastic and very kind, always caring about students and offering the best methods for them. While in Beijing, our family learned at "That's Mandarin," receiving lessons that perfectly met our demands and Chinese levels for each. My husband and I started from the intermediate level, but our requirements were quite different. He needed to learn more business-oriented Chinese, while I wanted to acquire more about the everyday conversation. So he learned through newspapers or news broadcastings, whereas I used Chinese serial dramas or TV discussion programs as the learning materials. My daughter started from the beginner's level; Starting from Pinyin, she gradually learned Chinese characters and pronunciation. Teachers introduce Chinese animations to enhance her learning morale, making her feel more affinities for China and its language. After leaving Beijing, she's still taking online lessons. She doesn't have any Chinese-speaking environment other than the class but finally obtained HSK 4 last January after a two-and-a-half-year learning experience with "That's Mandarin," which we really owe to the teachers' earnest instructions.
