Curious to know what it is like learning Mandarin Chinese at That’s Mandarin? Considering signing up for a class? Today I want to share with you my personal experiences to help. Let’s get right into it.<\/p>\n
I started learning Chinese three years ago at my University back in England. Although studying at degree level helped me to become fairly proficient, I always felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of characters I had to learn, or texts I had to memorise. Although I studied regularly, I always found that I could not commit Chinese words to long-term memory\u2026until now\uff01I have recently started learning Mandarin Chinese at That\u2019s Mandarin, and after just a few lessons, I can feel my Chinese improving dramatically. I wanted to share some of my learning experiences with you:<\/p>\n
For those of you who don\u2019t know, That\u2019s Mandarin is a language school with a difference! It is a school extremely committed to providing interesting and unique ways to study Chinese, from interactive lessons<\/a> to exciting cultural activities, for example cooking classes or movie nights. Not only this, but the school environment is bright, warm and friendly. There are relaxing terraces, complimentary teas and coffees, spaces to study, lovely plants and cute photos which are dotted around the school. You instantly feel relaxed when you walk through the door which certainly helps if you are going to be speaking Mandarin Chinese!<\/p>\n
