After a week, I can already hold a basic speech! There is a curriculum, so you are never lost and the path is set for you. The fees are very competitive, especially if you buy a large amount of credits. I am planning studying online for 6 months, then going to China for a month.
I have been studying with Yoyo Chinese for several months, and although my Chinese has improved, my speaking seemed stuck. With Flexi Classes I get to speak more, learn at a faster pace, and compliment my Yoyo classes. Moreover, all of my teachers have been really kind and patient.
The classes were great well structured pdf provided for guided reading and also the group classes offer flexibility where the students can practice among themselves and even the teacher in the target language

ASKED QUESTIONS

Do many people still speak Shanghainese?

It’s estimated around 20% of the population of Shanghai still speak Shanghainese. The dialect is indeed a dying one, but that is part of the reason why we want to teach it, because we care. Shanghainese can open up more doors than one might think. Because of this our Shanghainese Lessons are actually really popular especially with students who have some form of affiliation to Shanghai.

Do any of your team speak Shanghainese?

Our native Shanghai teachers and our curriculum developers of course!

Can I cancel a class if I am busy?

You can indeed cancel and re-book your Shanghainese Classes at no extra cost, with just a few clicks of a button. You need to give us 72 hours notice to receive all your credits back. Cancellations made less than 72 hours in advance are not refunded.

Do you have materials I can use to review after class?

Certainly! After each class, our teachers upload annotated files onto the system. Simply navigate to “My Past Classes,” then click on “Class Details” to download the annotation file.
