Shanghai subway is one of the most convenient ways to get around the city. Shanghai has more than 17 subway lines that link the city, with stations mainly set near top destinations and hubs. Fares typically average anywhere from 3 to 9 yuan, depending on the distance traveled. You can get a Shanghai subway card at nearly any station - via an automated machine or a ticket counter.

What Our Students Say

My daughters age 7 & 9 joined the two weeks program and really enjoyed it! They wished they can stay longer with the program.

Claire S, Denmark

Parent

My 8 yo had a great experience here. Not only was it fun, but in just one week he was speaking much more Chinese. The teachers are good at engaging the kids.

Frequently Asked Questions

GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

What is the course schedule?

It depends on the program. With Half-day Camp, campers will have Chinese classes from 1 pm to 3:50 pm Monday to Friday. Day Camp also includes cultural activities and field trips in the mornings. Homestay camp includes evening and weekend activities with the host family.

Who are the teachers?

Our teachers are all native Chinese speakers who are highly-qualified and experienced in teaching Chinese to foreigners. Our teachers are university graduates with majors in Chinese language education or Chinese literature. They have also previously obtained a “teaching Mandarin as a second language” certificate before they joined us and successfully completed That’s Mandarin’s mandatory Teachers Training Course (TTC).

What teaching materials do you use?

We developed our own teaching and learning methods. We use our own Chinese learning platform for all our classes. There you can find all the materials, read the teacher’s comments, review your lessons, and even schedule your classes.

Will the classes be taught in English?

All of our classes are taught in Chinese to give students a fully immersive Chinese experience. Even for absolute beginners, our teachers will only use limited English to help you understand. Our teacher will use pictures, videos, signs, and gestures to help students remember and understand new material.

Do you provide accommodation?

Yes. But it’s only available for Full and Homestay Camp students. But we can help find accommodation for Day Camp students as well.

Can the parents attend activities and classes?

No. We want teens to get a fully-immersion Chinese experience. We use only the Chinese language during our classes and want teens to speak Chinese as much as possible during their stay with us. That way they will be able to boost their Chinese skills and achieve great results by the end of the program.

Can I change the program duration?

You can. But you will need to let us know 1-2 months in advance. If you can’t come to our school this year due to an accident or any kind of unexpected situation, your kid can come and join our program next year.
