About School:
That’s Mandarin Ch inese Language School was founded
in Beijing in 2005. It is a professional Chinese language school with branches in Beijing (Dongzhimen and Wudaokou) and Shanghai (Jing’an). All three campuses offer Chinese courses for any language level–from absolute beginner to native fluency. The curriculum is designed to encourage students to learn through a Linkword method and storytelling method that does not rely heavily on a textbook. In addition to in-house Chinese courses, the company uses the popular software application, Skype, to conduct online Mandarin classes to students around the world. That?s Mandarin also provides an all-encompassing Chinese cultural education for its students that takes into account the many communication differences between Westerners and Chinese people and fuses the two through a combination of group discussions and cultural activities.

A colleague of mine recommended That’s Mandarin to me actually. He said that it was much easier for westerners to adapt to this teaching methodology, storytelling, compared to the more traditional Chinese universities. So it’s probably worth a list of schools to visit in Shanghai.
