How to learn Mandarin?
At GoEast Mandarin, we prefer to use the HSK system for teaching Mandarin. It’s a well-established system and the materials are well-supported. (Read here more about why we love HSK).
Beginning students start learning Mandarin at HSK1. At GoEast we prefer to teach HSK1 and HSK2 before Hanzi characters. This is so you become conversational in Mandarin as soon as possible. After the Hanzi course, you continue with HSK3 and onwards. After HSK4, you can improve your Mandarin either with HSK5 and HSK6, or choose to go for Business Chinese or Spoken Chinese.

Best way to learn Mandarin
You can learn Mandarin in so many ways: with learning apps such as Duolingo, Mandarin podcasts, Mandarin movies, and Chinese songs. These things create a great environment for you to learn Mandarin, especially if you’re learning online and don’t have the immersion our Shanghai-based students have.
But only a Mandarin course such as developed by GoEast will give a full basis. We will go over the Pinyin pronunciation, the Chinese alphabet, the Hanzi characters, and vocabulary and grammar.
