Meer dan een decennium geleden stelden we ons een vraag: we hebben al een aantal jaren talen onderwezen aan Chinese studenten, waarom zouden we geen Chinese taalschool opzetten voor expats die in Qingdao wonen? Destijds hadden alleen universiteiten en een paar kleine Koreaanse en Japanse trainingscentra Chinese cursussen. Er was geen professionele school voor het onderwijzen van Mandarijn-Chinees met normen die zo hoog waren als de Engelse taalopleidingsindustrie.
We leerden dat expats die in China woonden elk verschillende schema's en studiedoelen hadden. Sommigen kwamen op vakantie naar China, anderen hadden drukke werktijden. Een volledige dag doorbrengen in een druk klaslokaal of u aanpassen aan de methodes van de Aziatische trainingsschool was niet ideaal. Kunnen we een hoogwaardig en effectief systeem bieden wat flexibel genoeg is voor alle studenten? Kunnen we studenten helpen om de HSK in minder tijd te halen of beter zakelijk onderwijs te bieden?
Na meer dan twaalf jaar ons doel te hebben nagestreefd om de beste optie te zijn om Mandarijn-Chinees te studeren in Qingdao, hebben we een geweldig team opgebouwd en verschillende cursussen ontwikkeld voor zakelijke klanten, HSK-testvoorbereiding, kinderen, kortdurende reisstudie en zelfs online studenten. We bieden zowel privélessen (1-op-1) als kleine groepslessen van 8.30 tot 21.00 uur op weekdagen en van 9.00 tot 18.00 uur in het weekend.
Wat is ons geheim? Kom naar XMandarin en ervaar het verschil.

"Wonderful"
Ivo Brandani
(Translated by Google Translate)
Very educative and self improving expirience I suggest everybody to try it.
I'm Wiede and I have studied Chinese at XMandarin for three months now. Before that I couldn’t barely say anything in Chinese.
Here I enjoy classes a lot. My teacher teaches me super professionally and passionately and class is still chill the same time. Today I can easily read pinyin, many basic characters, shop and ask for directions. I’ve got better at using the right tones, though it can still be struggling sometimes. The class contents are very flexible, for example at the beginning I didn’t want to learn any characters but focus on oral Chinese, which was perfectly fine with the teacher. Also I could tell preferences about my timetable.
I can wholeheartedly recommend XMandarin. Experienced kind teachers, nice classrooms right in downtown Qingdao, free coffee and water. They also helped me find an accommodation and launch a local bank account and phone contract. I was even given the opportunity to try out a group class of my level!! Eventually I stuck to the private class, which was not easy to decide, because I made good friends in the group class, who I often hang out with. The school sometimes invites us to cultural events like learning calligraphy or rock climbing.
Next year I must go back to Europe to finish my business studies. However, after that I want to carry on my language studies at XMandarin to reach at least HSK 4. Are you looking for Chinese schools in China? Don’t search no more, this one's the one :-7
"Very high quality teaching with pleasant instructors and very helpful staff"
Lawrence Deane,
student van Canada
(Translated by Google Translate)
I found two of the teachers I had absolutely first rate. One seemed a little new at the job and not so experienced but she was still very helpful and took a real interest in helping me. One teacher, however, seemed bored and disinterested. She didn't take much interest and couldn't respond well to my questions. I was upset about this class and felt that it wasted my time and money. However, the other three teachers I had were excellent, so overall, I'm very satisfied with the experience. I wish I had more time to attend because I think my language ability improved quite a lot. Text book materials were good. Class rooms and writing boards were good. The school is centrally located, but it happened to be far away from where I was living. So it was important for me to have good classes to justify more than two hours of travel to get there.
Dit is een geverifieerde recensie. Deze student heeft een opleiding aan deze school geboekt via Language International.
"Useful..."
Freya Louise Woodhead
(Translated by Google Translate)
As a part of our internship program, we are doing a short program of 4 two hour lessons over 4 weeks. They have been really helpful in going over the basics of the mandarin language. Our teacher is really helpful and is an effective teacher who obviously knows how to effectively teach a class of newcomers to mandarin. The lessons are perfect for complete beginners like ourselves. However, I think that because we have such a short course, I think it would've have been more useful to focus on practical/ daily life essential vocabulary. Such as ordering food and recognizing common characters which are essential to daily life. I think that would allow students on short courses to see real and practical benefits of learning mandarin and give us more chances to use the vocabulary we learn in classes in our day to day lives in China.
Yannie, Course advisor at XMandarin Chinese Language Centre responded to this review. 29 July 2019
Hello! I am very happy about your commentary on the class. It is the best way to improve the teaching we will provide. You are not the first student to mention more practical vocabulary. It is necessary to tell us because if we don't know your goal we provide a basic Chinese class that does not focus on living in China only. I often say that to our students, we make the class around what you want to learn, do not hesitate to tell the teacher what you expect of this class :D
"Brilliant teachers and a good place to improve your Chinese"
Augustina Baltrusaityte

I have been attending XMandarin classes with the help of InternChina. We have received 8 hours of classes and so far I really enjoy the quality of teaching. The teacher always corrects you if you do a mistake, answers your questions, and lets everyone practice their pronunciation. However, I wish we could've received more hours and I think if the class would've been split in two smaller classes, that would've been wonderful as we could've got more interaction time.
Also, I think it would help a lot if the first few hours we would be learning basic phrases in Chinese and how to order food, find a toilet, top up your travel card etc. Although I enjoy learning from the basics, I think it would be more useful to teach people basic survival phrases in Chinese.
Overall though, I enjoy the lessons and if I could, I would stay longer. The teachers here are wonderful and provide high quality lessons.
Yannie, Course advisor at XMandarin Chinese Language Centre responded to this review. 29 July 2019
Hello, thank you for your review! It is very thorough and gives us a very good idea on what we do well and what we can still improve, it's very important for us! I'm happy the teacher is a good listener and corrects you. I also know your group is the biggest we have and it would be very good to cut it in two...I also take note on what you would have liked to learn for your first lesson!! And of course, if you want more lessons don't hesitate to come send us a message or give us a talk to plan more courses ;)

I spent 6 month in this school, the environment is pretty, calm and you feel great. You can meet a lot of foreigners and have fun with the activities the school organize every month.
The staff here is amazing, always here to help you with anything.
The teachers are great, mine was more than a teacher she also became a great friend. I learned a lot about Chinese language and culture here at XMandarin but also a lot about myself.
Going abroad to work or study is an amazing experience and XMandarin can help you to realize that.
I recommend this school to anyone who wants to study Chinese language. Qingdao is a wonderful city, the people here a chill and the city have a lot of places to see. It's way more calm than big cities.
I can't wait to go back there and see all my friends I left at XMandarin.
Yannie, Course advisor at XMandarin Chinese Language Centre responded to this review. 19 July 2019
Thank you for your comment, you seemed to have really enjoyed your time here, it goes further than the school, I am really happy that you liked our city and that you made such great memories, hope this happens to any of our students and Qingdao passer-by!

The Chinese courses were very satisfying : very adapted to your level. The content is also very thorough.
The teachers are enthusiastic and motivated to help you to improve your Chinese during your stay. You can talk with them anytime you want.

The whole team and especially the teachers will be very happy about your feedback! Don't hesitate to share that experience with others, thank you very much for your message.

I am not a Chinese beginner, I learned Chinese in France and I really wanted to improve my Chinese by coming to China. I started at XMandarin with group class but I was worried the level would be lower than mine. It was not! We all had similar level and similar will to improve. My teacher totally understood our need of learning more daily vocabulary. We learned a lot and could apply it all to our daily life, making us more Chinese!! It really helped me better understand the conversation I was having with locals and exchange more.
After my experience of group class I wanted to continue learning there and took 1-to-1 class. Principle is the same except I have more flexibility about what I want to learn, how, I can ask more questions and I learn even faster!
I already found an apartment by myself so I didn't need their help but I know they can help you with that :D
I had no problem with the visa papers they sent me so it went all well!
Yannie, Course advisor at XMandarin Chinese Language Centre responded to this review. 19 July 2019
Thank you so much for your message, we always try to adapt our class best and it is good to see that our students can feel it. Hope you will do go use of all of the Chinese you learnt here with us.

I really loved be part of XMandarin. I liked to much the way the teacher make the class dynamic and so easy to understand also I liked how they give us the opportunity to immerse in Chinese Culture with the monthly event that they organize.

Thank you for giving us this feedback. We hope we can keep on teaching you with our activities to immerse in the culture and keep on practicing the knowledge you learned during the classes.

"Hi, I was wondering whether XMandarin also provides accommodation for their students (who are not in China already). On the website, I only saw "housing assistance" as part of the application process, but haven't found any details. Are students from abroad usually housed near each other (dorm-like)? What would typical locations be where you'd end up as a student from abroad (as in, would you have a long commute to the school)? What kind of facilities would be typical? (private, shared? kitchen?)
Thank you!"
Gineke ten Holt,
student van VK
Fu Wei,
XMandarin Chinese Language School school representative (Marketing supervisor)
Yes we can help students provide with accomodation.
We are in close contact with different agents for accomodation.
This can be a hotel, shared apartement or private apartement
So for example in the dorm, you will live with more of our students.
Was dit nuttig? JaThank You!
