Find your Chengdu Community at That’s Mandarin
Moving to a new city like Chengdu can be thrilling but also lonely. Many expats want to connect with the local culture and make new friends, but finding the right spaces can be challenging. For those looking to dive in while feeling supported, That’s Mandarin has become a home away from home for Chengdu’s international community.
Nestled on a green street of trendy cafes just beside the Kuanzhai Alleys, the Chengdu campus hosts students from over 60 countries. The result is a small global village – a multilingual and multicultural environment, blended with Chinese language and culture. Whether you’re looking for structured classes or a place to meet locals and fellow expats, That’s Mandarin offers a community where you can belong.
Every two weeks, the school hosts events designed to bring people together. At Mahjong nights, total beginners are paired with locals who teach them rules over traditional snacks and drinks. During city-walking tours, That’s Mandarin’s friendly teachers take you through teahouses, People’s Park and introduce you to Sichuan cuisine. Other events include KTV nights, group bike rides, and language exchange corners — fun, low-pressure ways to meet locals and even test out your Chinese. You’ll easily leave with at least four new WeChat contacts.
That’s Mandarin stands out from traditional language centers with its “break from convention, communicate first” approach – focusing on real conversation, not only exams. Their unique online-learning platform keeps record of in-class materials and examples so that students can stay engaged without being stuck in their notes. Combined with their bi-monthly events, teachers often join students for lunch after class, giving them the chance to quickly consolidate their learning outside the classroom while naturally making friends and exploring local life.
Whether you come for a language class or just to join the next Mahjong night, you’ll find a community ready to welcome you in.
