Great learning

If you’re a beginner or if you’ve already started learning chinese, this program will only help. The teachers are very performant and thanks to them my experience with them was very productive!
The classes have break in between so you can easily stay concentrated the whole day. I didn’t quite like the food, but the other people seemed to appreciate it. In any case, there is a lot of delicious food shop in the area so it isn’t a problem, you can just go buy food outside.
So yes, the location was also very good !

That's Mandarin Review

The That's Mandarin Website shouldn't be the one to choose what the kids learn. The kids should input more into what they want to learn. Then it would make the learning experience more fun for the kids and they will have more fun. The future participants should know that when they come to the That's Mandarin Building, they can make friends and be safe. oh yeah, I almost forgot the food is great 70 % of the time.

What would you improve about this program?
Teaching kids what they want to learn not what the website has planned for them.
And to learn deeper about important words and phrases.

Mi experiencia en That's Mandarin " My experience at That's Mandarin"

Translated:
"I recommend it to everyone, it is an unforgettable experience, the staff is amazing, they give a spectacular welcome and the classes are super fun. One learns too much in a short time, I arrived here without knowing almost nothing but the basics and in just one month I learned many things. The excursions and the cultural classes are fascinating, you enjoy yourself and you learn too much in Mandarin as in English. Classes are given in such a way that you no longer have to study at night because you get out of there with everything cleared up and everything memorized. One gets unforgettable memories because we have the chance to share with people from all over the world. From here I do not leave alone knowing much mandarin also with memories that wherever I go I always enter them in my heart."

Original:
Se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo, es una experiencia inorvidable, el personal es asombroso, dan una acogida espectacular y las clases son super divertidas. Uno aprende demasiado en poco tiempo, llegue aqui sin saber casi nada solamente lo basico y en solo un mes aprendi muchas cosa. La excursiones y las clases culturales son facinantes, se disfruta y se aprende demasiado tanto en Mandarin como en Ingles. Las clases las dan de forma tal que ya no hay que estudiar en las noches porque uno sale de ahi con todo aclarado y todo memorizado. Uno se lleva recuerdos inorvidables ya que tenemos el chance de compartir con personas de todo el mundo. De aqui no me voy solo sabiendo mucho mandarin tambien con recuerdos que donde quiera que yo vaya siempre los entre en el corazon.

My Experience in Thats Mandarin.

On summer of 2018 I went to a camp in china called Thats Mandarin. My experience was realy good and maby the best. It was a camp that you make friends, learn the culture and the language of China, and have fun. I have the opportunity to meets teacher that where really nice and helpfull in my academicly way. This was a camp that I will really like to repate and probably next year I will. Its mazing how you can get friendes so esally and learn so much 。 Its crazy to say that in Thats Mandarin you can get a new family but for me it hapend. I woke up every day wishing to start my activitys and to say hi to all my friends. In here its easy to say hi but diffucult and sad to say bye. When its time to go its sad because it reminds you how well you pass it but actually easy because you know those were the best weeks of your live.

Unforgettable

Classes are fun and supportive and build on what i had already learnt, expanding my knowlege of Mandarin. The teachers and staff are increadibly kind and supportive. I loved my stay here and highly recommend That's Mandarin!
Every weekend you go trips around (for me) Beijing, or example we went to the Great Wall of China. It was fun and awe-inspireing to see the view from on top of the wall; after we came down by tabbogan which was an exhilaraing experience!

Summer camp in that's mandarin

Translated: "I arrived in Beijing two weeks ago to join the summer camp in Mandarin. The first day, I was greeted and my teacher gave me a test for in order to divide the groups according to the skills of the students in Chinese. This allowed us to progress better and not get bored. I have been to Tian Tan Park, the Museum of Capital and Science, Bei Hai Park, karaoke. We have built models of Chinese monuments, learned some songs, but also the calligraphy, their cooking, Twisters language .... Teachers are patient and kind, they take the time to teach you things in detail even if you do not do not speak perfectly English. I am now sad to have to leave, and I hope to return in the next few years."

Original: Je suis arrivée à Pékin il y a deux semaines pour rejoindre le camp d'été en mandarin. Le premier jour, j'ai été accueillie et mon professeur m'a donné un test pour afin de diviser les groupes en fonction des compétences des élèves en chinois. Cela nous a permis de nous mieu progresser et de ne pas s'ennuyer. J'ai été à Tian Tan Parc, au Musée de la capital et de la science ,Bei Hai parc, karaoké. Nous avons construit des maquettes de monuments chinois, appris certaines chansons, mais aussi la caligraphie, leur cuisine,Twisters langue.... Les enseignants sont patients et gentils, ils prennent le temps de t'apprendre les choses en détails meme si tu ne parles pas parfaitement anglais. Je suis maintenant triste de devoir le quitter, et j'espère revenir dans les prochaines années.

séjour à pekin, stay in pekin

Translated: I had the opportunity to stay for 2 weeks in Peking to visit the city and learn Chinese. This experience has been beneficial to the extent that we have the opportunity to hear and practice Chinese all day long.
The experiences were diverse and the food diverse and local. There are also people from all over the world so I could also progress in English.

Original: J’ai eu l’occasion de faire un séjour de 2 semaines à pekin afin de pourvoir visiter la ville et d’apprendre le chinois. Cette expérience a été bénéfique dans la mesure où on a l’opportunite d’entendre et de pratiquer le chinois à longueur de journée.
Les expériences ont été diverse et la nourriture diverse et local. Il y’a également des gens du monde entier donc j ai pu également progresser en anglais.
