What Our Students Say
Real stories from students who learned Mandarin with us
"Fiz o curso de 8 semanas e foi simplesmente incrível. As aulas são dinâmicas, os professores são muito atenciosos e a cidade de Kunming é linda. Aprendi muito mais do que esperava – hoje consigo me virar sozinha no mercado, no restaurante e até no hospital. A escola deu todo o suporte com visto e acomodação. Saudades de todos!"
"Honestly, I was nervous about learning Chinese. I thought it would be impossible. But the teachers here are incredible – patient, funny, and they actually make grammar interesting. After 8 weeks, I can hold basic conversations and my colleagues back in Dublin are shocked. The school arranged everything – visa, accommodation, even airport pickup. Zero stress. Best decision I ever made."
"한국에서는 중국어 학원을 다녔지만 말하기 실력이 늘지 않았어요. 그런데 여기는 달라요. 매일 수업에서 계속 말하게 되니까 자연스럽게 입에 붙더라고요. 6주 만에 한국 친구들에게 깜짝 놀랄 만한 실력이 됐어요. 선생님들도 정말 친절하세요. 최고의 경험이었습니다!"
"Llegué sin saber ni una palabra de chino y en dos meses ya puedo mantener conversaciones básicas. Los profesores usan juegos y situaciones reales, nada de memorización aburrida. La escuela también organiza excursiones los fines de semana. El ambiente internacional hace que cada día sea interesante. Sin duda, repetiré."
"Coming from Nigeria, I wasn't sure what to expect. But from day one, everyone made me feel welcome. The teachers are world‑class – they know exactly how to help you improve. I went from total beginner to HSK 2 in 10 weeks. The school also helped me with my visa extension when I decided to stay longer. Couldn't have asked for a better experience."
"I was worried about the tones – Polish is already hard enough! But the teachers broke everything down in such a clear way that it finally clicked. My favorite part was the one-on-one feedback during class. You don't just learn from the textbook; you learn how real people actually speak. I made friends from 6 different countries. This was more than a language course – it was a life experience."
"I'm not a young backpacker – I'm a 45‑year‑old accountant who needed Mandarin for business. The school treated me with total professionalism. The teachers understood my specific needs and tailored conversations around business topics. My Chinese clients have already noticed the difference. Money well spent. Excellent value."
"Als Berufstätige brauchte ich ein Programm, das flexibel ist und trotzdem intensive Fortschritte ermöglicht. Der Unterricht war anspruchsvoll aber nie langweilig. Die kleine Gruppengröße bedeutet, dass jeder dran kommt. Ich habe in 6 Wochen mehr gelernt als in einem Semester an der Uni. Absolut empfehlenswert."
"I only planned to stay for 4 weeks, but I extended to 12. The small class size made all the difference – I actually got to speak every single day, not just listen. My teacher corrected my tones on the spot, and within a month I could order food, take taxis, and chat with locals at the market. The cultural activities were a huge bonus too – the tea ceremony was unforgettable. Already planning to come back next year."
"J'ai beaucoup voyagé en Asie, mais apprendre le mandarin à Kunming a été une expérience unique. Les professeurs sont très compétents et l'ambiance est amicale. Les activités culturelles – calligraphie, cuisine, visites de temples – m'ont permis de comprendre la Chine bien au-delà de la langue. Merci à toute l'équipe !"
"As a Canadian-born Chinese, I could speak a bit at home but never formally studied. This course filled all the gaps – reading, writing, grammar. My grandparents were so happy when I video-called them in Mandarin. The 4-hour daily schedule is intense but totally worth it. Highly recommend to anyone with Chinese heritage looking to reconnect with the language."
"Ho scelto questo corso perché avevo bisogno di flessibilità – lavoro online e potevo studiare solo per 3 settimane. In soli 21 giorni ho imparato le basi per viaggiare in Cina in autonomia. Le attività culturali sono state il mio preferito: abbiamo visitato templi, mercati e fatto un corso di cucina. Tornerò sicuramente!"
"Это был мой первый раз в Китае, и я немного волновалась. Но школа организовала всё на высшем уровне – встретили в аэропорту, помогли с визой, поселили в комфортную комнату. Уроки проходили в дружелюбной атмосфере, учителя очень терпеливые. Через 2 месяца я могу говорить на базовые темы. Огромное спасибо!"
"I came to Kunming on a whim – I just wanted a change of scenery. I ended up staying 5 months. The community here is incredible. We studied together, ate together, and explored Yunnan together on weekends. My Mandarin went from zero to conversational, but honestly the friendships I made matter even more. Can't wait to go back."
"クラスメートは世界各国から来ていて、毎日の会話が本当に刺激的でした。先生は一人ひとりの発音を丁寧に直してくれます。週に一度の文化イベントも楽しくて、特に夜市での食事体験は最高でした！3ヶ月で日常会話に困らなくなりました。"
"I already spoke conversational Mandarin but wanted to improve my reading and writing for work. The placement test put me in the right level immediately. The teacher challenged me with articles, news, and formal writing – exactly what I needed. Two months later, I can now read Weibo posts and write professional emails. Great experience."
"Jag är svensk och har bott i Kina i tre år men aldrig tagit en kurs. Det här var mitt första försök och jag ångrar att jag inte gjorde det tidigare. 4 timmar om dagen är intensivt, men jag såg framsteg varje vecka. Lärarna är professionella och lokalen är modern och ren. Rekommenderas starkt!"
"¡Qué experiencia! Llegué con miedo al idioma y me voy con amigos de todo el mundo. Las clases son súper prácticas – nada de teoría inútil. Aprendí a pedir comida, regatear en el mercado y hasta contar chistes en chino. La ciudad de Kunming es hermosa y el clima perfecto. 10 de 10. Volveré el próximo año con mi esposa."
