About GoEast Mandarin
GoEast Mandarin has been offering online Mandarin lessons to thousands of adults since 2012 and offering Chinese language lessons for kids since 2014. We’re a Mandarin school in Shanghai and online, with a great reputation among teachers & students.
In our Chinese courses for children, we focus less on grammar (compared to adult classes) but lead your child through conversations, games, puzzles, and activities, developing an intuitive feeling for the Mandarin language, so kids can become conversational and learn Chinese online.
What can my child say per level?
Total beginner level 1
Here we introduce the Pinyin and the most basic words and characters to your child: How to say her or his name, family members and their age. And the time, animal also included.
Total beginner level 2
Here we build on basic Chinese words and phrases (characters included). Here your child can talk about transportations, occupation, daliy life, weather and shopping.
Beginner (3 & 4)
At a beginner level (comparable to YCT3), children can speak more in detail about school life, like the school they go to, which classes she or he likes at school, the city they live in, and their friends. They can start to have a real conversation in Chinese, albeit at a beginner level.
Elementary (5 & 6)
At the elementary level, children can have a full conversation albeit many words are still out of their vocabulary. But in essence, they can talk about habits, their personalities, and the social life, like health, science and technology, and environment
Intermediate (7 & 8)
An intermediate level simply adds more detail to the whole elementary level, whether it’s about the weather or their hobbies. Children will have much more confidence holding a conversation from start to end, and have no problem keeping the conversation going. In addition, children can read and understand a simple story.
Upper intermediate (9 & 10)
More and more abstract terms are introduced. Children can compare different cultures and which kind of TV shows, or which kind of holiday. And why? Your child will be able to answer in high detail, describing physical aspects of a topic as well emotional aspects. In addition, children can read and understand the story, like Chinese idioms story.
At this language level (seen from a language perspective only), your child could theoretically study or work in China.
Advanced (11 &12)
Here your child can basically converse at a native level. While specific topics are unknown (we are giving an example: aviation terms), your child is free to express herself or himself in any topic or opinion freely, whether abstract or very concrete. In addition, children can read and understand the article, like Chinese culture story, Daily News, and so on.
Frequently asked questions about our online Chinese classes for children:
-
If your kid is under 8 years and it’s her or his first time taking lessons online, we would suggest you to be next to here for the first 2-3 lessons. After that, in our experience, most childs will be fine on their own!
-
Besides live lessons, we will suggest textbooks and other video resources based on your child’s level. After classes, we’ll also hand out assignments (often games such as crosswords or dubbing for movies).
-
In that case, please contact our language consultant and we will provide another teacher. Yet in our eight years of teaching, it has never happened that a child wanted to change his or her teacher!
-
Prices per session range from 120RMB to 240RMB, depending on the packages you choose. Session lengths are 25 minutes for children aged kindergarten & primary school students, and 50 minutes for high school students.

We will send you an online link where you can get the paper version of the textbooks (e.g. from Amazon) and we will email you some digital resources as well.
-
We found out the convenient way for parents to stay informed of the kid’s progress is actually by weekly emails; we can also provide an account on our learning platform if the parent would like it.
-
Yes, they can. We also can do private group lessons, but only if their levels are roughly similar.
