The charm of Chinese

The charm of Chinese is really hard to stop. Our family went to China before the epidemic. Because of this, I got to know LingoBus. My daughter Dandan likes this course very much. We have been studying for more than 2 years, and friends around are also studying. The teachers here are very lively and rich in teaching experience, which can make it easy for my daughter to learn and enhance her confidence. After class, there will be teachers to help us study and answer my questions. I hope that the epidemic will end soon, and I will take our family on a trip to China!

Lots of fine print.

Lots of fine print.
Be careful with these people. They make offers they will not follow through with. They are good with skipping over the fine print until after you question them, then suddenly it's pointed out to you. Dishonest and shady.

My son enjoys his teachers

My son enjoys his teachers. I tried teaching him Chinese but he got angry with me. He likes his lessons with Lingo Bus and I am happy that he’s learning without argument.

We Love it

We have used Lingo Bus for our kids for the past 3 years. The classes are excellent and their teachers are wonderful! The lessons are 100% immersive, so it’s helpful to use their materials to preview the lesson and practice the vocabulary ahead. Teachers adjust their speech so your kids won’t get overwhelmed and use lots of visual aids and gestures, which is really helpful. We have loved the lessons! Side note, because I noticed another parent said the teacher didn’t speak English. Most of the teachers are fluent in English, but the lessons are immersive. They’re not supposed to speak English.

The teacher's English is poor and is hard to communicate with her. My kid couldn't learn very well in this environment.

Dear Natalie,

Thank you for your valued suggestions. We place teachers for children depending on the course types. If your child is on the listening and speaking language course, our teachers usually have the ability to speak fluent English. In immersion courses, your child may reach a higher level of fluency, so teachers generally don't use English in class.

Best wishes
