We answer frequently asked questions
It may seem difficult at first, but only until you start learning. In fact, Chinese is quite logical: there are no tenses like in English, and words do not change according to gender, cases, or endings. Sentences are built in a simple and direct way — for example: “yesterday I not go school,” “tomorrow I go Beijing.” Because of this, the rules are quickly understood and remembered. We teach modern, spoken Chinese — the language that is used in China today. And 93% of our students say: “It turned out to be easier than I expected.”
We teach modern Standard Chinese — Putonghua. It is the official language of China, understood across the country and used in education, business, and media. We focus on correct pronunciation from the very beginning and teach practical, modern vocabulary so the language can be used in real life, travel, and international communication.
We start speaking, listening, reading, and writing from the very first lesson, so progress becomes visible quite quickly. During the trial lesson, you will receive a learning roadmap that shows how a student moves through levels and how progress is tracked. There are 6 official language levels, but our program is unique and includes much more real speaking practice than just exam preparation for HSK. Noticeable results usually appear after about 2–4 months — by that time, students already gain confidence, learn basic phrases, and begin to understand spoken Chinese.
Yes. We have both native Chinese-speaking teachers and Russian-speaking instructors. Our Russian-speaking teachers live or have lived in China, so they have a high level of Chinese proficiency. Thanks to this, students learn not only the language but also the living culture — how people actually speak, what expressions they use, and how modern Chinese sounds in real life.
Lessons follow our original program, developed by a team of methodologists and curriculum experts. The program is unique and takes into account:
- the student’s age: from 4 to 80+
- motivation level and learning preferences: more games, speaking practice, or deeper focus on characters and culture
- learning goals: HSK exam preparation, business trips, or learning Chinese for personal interest, and more
The main program is based on the 6 standard levels of the international Chinese proficiency exam HSK (HSK 1–6), expanded with our author’s curriculum focused on speaking practice and real-life language use. (Similar to English, which also has 6 main levels from A1 to C2.) In addition, our methodologists have developed a special starter level — HSK 0. It helps students start speaking from the very first lessons, better understand pronunciation, and more easily progress through higher levels.
We select strong teachers from around the world, not just those nearby. We pay them fairly, provide training, and offer methodological support — which ensures consistent quality. We have our own modern curriculum and interactive tools based on real spoken language, not outdated textbooks. Most importantly, we teach universal Chinese that is actually understood in China, without surprises from dialects.
We understand — everyone has a busy schedule. That’s why we adapt the timetable to each student: we find convenient days and times. If plans change, lessons can be rescheduled or canceled — everything is flexible. Each student has a personal account on our platform with their schedule, learning materials, homework, and lesson recordings. Learning is convenient and nothing gets lost.
Yes, we understand that unexpected situations may happen. In such cases, we will help you find a convenient time to reschedule the lesson.

Yes. After each lesson, the teacher assigns homework in your personal account on the platform. You will also have access to your schedule, balance, chat with a manager and teacher, as well as student progress reports prepared by teachers.
