I was skeptical about the online learning format in the beginning, but by the end of the course I became a fan of it. A great way to fit regular lessons into my busy schedule without extra commute time. Wonderful, knowledgable teachers who could answer all my questions from why the grammar is the way it is, to how to make the sounds when pronouncing similar sounding words. Overall a very positive experience and I will recommend GoEast to anyone I know looking to learn Chinese.

From the time I walked in the door, I could tell GoEast was different. With a dedicated but fun team and a relaxed environment, this is the one place I feel confident recommending Chinese classes to foreigners.

Thanks to GoEast, I managed to pass HSK IV in just 6 months!

About a year ago I started looking for a Chinese training center. GoEast, conveniently located with flexible lessons, was a natural choice. Through their classes, I have quickly improved my language level. By hosting evening events, organizing travel groups, and developing unique learning methods, GoEast provides a supportive community for all their students.

Two different people recommended me to come to GoEast. Starting from the HSK 1 I now reached a HSK 3 level in only four months. I learned different languages before but was never so engaging like here: this is the perfect place to feel comfortable and having fun getting immersed in a different culture. Studying at GoEast enriched not only my Chinese, but also the feeling I have of this country.

I am really enjoying the program. I love the self-study lesson platform so much! It is such an efficient way to do things that I have begun creating an online platform for my Spanish language learners modeled off of your design. Also, Clytie is an amazing teacher, she is very lively, so much fun to have class with! Her lessons are always very engaging, and she has such a good memory for details about students’ lives and uses that information to present or review materials, which really helps understanding and retention of the material.

I’ve had various teachers over the years, but I recommend going with GoEast. They are professional, flexible, and very passionate about what they do. I don’t even regard them as teachers anymore, but as friends and family. Once you GoEast, you never go back!

At GoEast, I realized that Chinese is hard, but is made simpler with proper instruction

The school firstly helps us students to find our personal motivation and tailor-fit their teaching methods accordingly, respecting our strengths and weaknesses. The fact that the school includes a cosy open cafe, invites lecturers and organizes cultural trips, shows their involvement of social integration. It is focused on more than just teaching a language by book, but wants to build a sincere yet very tolerant and calm community open to share with anyone willing to enjoy a genuine china experience.

More quotes from our Chinese language students
“I have experience as a lecturer and researcher myself and over the years I have developed quite strong views on what a high quality learning experience should look like. Also, being a lifelong learner myself I find that there are 3 aspects that are crucial for successful learning. These are: method, attitude, and building relationships, all three of which I have found here at GoEast.”

“I quickly discovered GoEast is much much more than a “language school.” Because of its people, its process and its culture it is more of a “learning experience.” GoEast is a place to connect with others on a similar journey, share similar stories and fully enjoy the time invested in China. For those purposes, GoEast has over-delivered.”

“So every day I would come to school and at the time, Winona was the one teaching me. And every single day, she welcomed me with a huge smile, with so much enthusiasm. She taught me Chinese with so much passion, and so much patience, like, you know, I would ask a question and then realise that we had talked about it the day before, and I would feel so bad. But her? No, she would act like nothing happened, showing no sign of being upset, and just explain again, and again. And I am infinitely grateful for that and I would like to say thank you. Because, a lot of thanks to her, during that first month, GoEast really became like a home to me.”

Reviews from GoEast Mandarin’s immersion courses
Samuel from Canada:
“I spent 5 weeks at GoEast doing an intensive course. I had learned HSK2 at a slow pace, but within the first week of the immersion course, I went from badly structured sentences in pinyin, to being able to read and write paragraphs in characters. By the third week, I had gone from basic replies to questions to full conversations. By the end of 5 weeks, when I finished my HSK 3, I was able to recognize and identify hundreds of characters. It was a very busy 5 weeks getting all of the classes and homework done, but it was worth every minute that I put into it.”
Rebecca from Italy:
“I studied Chinese up to HSK3 back in high school, but when I moved to China I felt I had forgotten everything. GoEast suggested an intensive HSK2 course. I would have never expected to regain my Mandarin so fast and so easily. The course was well structured and very interactive. I was constantly speaking Chinese, and reading and writing some characters. I completed the level in just two weeks and I was already able to express some thought after it. GoEast is like a family, that will take you in and help you through entering China and learning about Chinese beautiful culture and extremely difficult language. I stayed at GoEast and switched to a 1-on-1 course to best fit my busy schedule. I completed HSK3 in one month and HSK4上 in a month and a half. I deeply suggest joining this school if you want fast and excellent results. The teachers are extremely prepared and always ready to help with any issue you may face.”
