What materials are used during classes? \n <\/h4>\n <\/i>\n <\/div>\n
\n We use our own in-house learning platform NihaoCafe for both online and offline Chinese classes.<\/p>\n

For HSK 1-3<\/strong>, the standard course is built around a TV series we filmed in 2019, with a story set in modern China, featuring 64 episodes with over 70 characters in 45 locations. Students can watch the videos, read interactive dialogues, learn new words & grammar, and practice with exercises on the platform.<\/p>\n

For HSK 4<\/strong>, more advanced learners can read articles on various topics \u2013 Chinese culture, modern China, its economy & job market, dialogues from daily life, and many more. This level has the same set of interactive exercises as the previous levels.<\/p>\n

For HSK 5-6<\/strong>, our teachers customize the lessons completely based on student\u2019s learning style and goals, and choose from an extensive pool of materials which include articles, videos, comic books, translation classes, and more. These types of materials are also available for students of other levels who wish to customize their private classes and choose Custom lessons.\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

What will I learn?<\/span> \n <\/h4>\n <\/i>\n <\/div>\n

For higher levels, in addition to HSK vocabulary, you will also learn<\/span> <\/span>Set Phrases<\/strong> as well as <\/span>Slang & Idioms<\/strong> in meaningful contexts that will help you understand & remember them. If you are interested in a specific field, you might choose a course on specialized topics such as Chinese for<\/span> <\/span>business, diplomatic, medical <\/span><\/strong>purposes etc.<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

      We use our own in-house learning platform NihaoCafe for both online and offline Chinese classes.<\/p>\r\n

      For HSK 1-3<\/strong>,<\/span> the standard course is built around a TV series we filmed in 2019,<\/span> with a story set in modern China,<\/span> featuring 64 episodes with over 70 characters in 45 locations. Students can watch the videos,<\/span> read interactive dialogues,<\/span> learn new words & grammar,<\/span> and practice with exercises on the platform.<\/p>\r\n

      For HSK 4<\/strong>,<\/span> more advanced learners can read articles on various topics - Chinese culture,<\/span> modern China,<\/span> its economy & job market,<\/span> dialogues from daily life,<\/span> and many more. This level has the same set of interactive exercises as the previous levels.<\/p>\r\n

      For HSK 5-6<\/strong>,<\/span> our teachers customize the lessons completely based on student's learning style and goals,<\/span> and choose from an extensive pool of materials which include articles,<\/span> videos,<\/span> comic books,<\/span> translation classes,<\/span> and more.<\/p>\r\n

      These types of materials are also available for students of other levels who wish to customize their private classes and choose Custom lessons<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=\"What will I learn?\"]The content you will learn can be customized to your learning goals & needs. If you choose to study with a standard course, you will pick up the necessary HSK Vocabulary, <\/strong>as well as some useful Daily Vocabulary<\/strong>, since our course content goes beyond HSK and tries to link learning with real life. You'll also pick up Useful Grammar<\/strong> to help you link the new words into meaningful sentences and to express yourself clearly. For higher levels, in addition to HSK vocabulary, you will also learn Set Phrases<\/strong> as well as Slang & Idioms<\/strong> in meaningful contexts that will help you understand & remember them. If you are interested in a specific field, you might choose a course on specialized topics such as Chinese for business, diplomatic, medical <\/strong>purposes etc.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=\"What useful skills will I pick up?\"]\r\n

By applying early, you can also benefit from our early bird discount. Besides, you will need to apply for a Chinese visa<\/strong> at least 30 days<\/strong> in advance and longer if you\u2019re applying for a student X2 visa (for long-term Chinese courses only).[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=\"What are your Mandarin classes like?\"]Each class lasts 50 minutes<\/strong>. As the vast majority of our students take more than 1 class per day, a 10-minute break between classes proves to be both necessary and helpful for students to process what they\u2019ve just learned. Part-Time courses include\u00a04 classes<\/strong>\u00a0of lessons per week. Intensive Courses include\u00a015 classes<\/strong>\u00a0of lessons per week. Class schedule for Private classes is\u00a0flexible<\/strong>.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=\"Will the classes be taught in English?\"]All of our classes are taught in Chinese to provide students with a fully immersive Chinese experience<\/strong>. Even for absolute beginners, our teachers will only use limited English to help you understand them. The teachers will use pictures, videos, signs and gestures to help you learn. As your Chinese level progresses, less and less English will be used in your classes and you will be able to understand more and more Chinese every day.[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=\"What are the teachers like? Are they native speakers?\"]All our teachers are native Chinese speakers<\/strong> and university graduates with majors in Chinese language education or Chinese literature. They have also previously obtained a Teaching Chinese as a Second Language (TCSL, or TCSOL) certificate before they joined us and successfully completed That\u2019s Mandarin\u2019s mandatory Teachers Training Course (TTC).[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/2\" el_id=\"section-faq-right\"][vc_single_image image=\"2224\" img_size=\"full\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=\"yes\"][vc_column el_class=\"btn-blue\"][eikra-vc-text-button title=\"\" subtitle=\"\" button_text=\"VIEW FAQ PAGE\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=\"yes\"][vc_column][eikra-vc-text-title title=\"Find Out What's Happening At That's Mandarin\" css=\".vc_custom_1596449509639{padding-top: 45px !important;}\"]Be the first to know[\/eikra-vc-text-title][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=\"yes\" el_id=\"section-blog\"][vc_column][vc_basic_grid post_type=\"ac_event\" max_items=\"3\" show_filter=\"yes\" gap=\"15\" item=\"2082\" grid_id=\"vc_gid:1601358215755-3c380580-9201-2\" el_id=\"#section-blog\" filter_source=\"ac_event_category\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=\"yes\"][vc_column el_id=\"section-blog-CTA\" el_class=\"btn-blue\"][eikra-vc-text-button title=\"\" subtitle=\"\" button_text=\"VIEW MORE\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","_et_gb_content_width":""},"yoast_head":"\nAbout That's Mandarin | The Top Chinese Language School for All Levels<\/title>\n <!-- Mirrored from www.thatsmandarin.com/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/2528/ by HTTrack Website Copier/3.x [XR&CO'2014], Fri, 28 Jun 2024 09:14:52 GMT --> <meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn Chinese in China with That's Mandarin Chinese Language School.
