Our Story
NihaoKids is an online Chinese learning system for kids that uses innovative learning methodology and modern technology to teach kids Chinese all over the world.
How it all began
2005
Founded in 2005, That’s Mandarin has established a strong reputation in the field of teaching Chinese as a second language
Mandarin Café Platform
2009
Not long after the school was founded, the first IT team started working on creating and maintaining our first Chinese learning platform, Mandarin Cafe. It provided digital notes, class scheduling, and learning content in the form of videos and cartoons
That’s Mandarin Rebranding
July, 2019
In 2019, it was time to change our look. The new logo represents two human faces (or speech bubbles? it’s up to you to decide), and puts emphasis on creative ideas. We believe that innovative teaching methods, in combination with the use of modern technology, will make Chinese learning more fun and efficient.
NihaoCafe
2020
In 2020, Mandarin Café online learning platform was updated, and rebranded as NihaoCafe. We’ve re-imagined the platform to make it an all-in-one space for adult Chinese learners to connect with their teachers, review their classes, and practice the new knowledge with custom exercises. We also filmed a Chinese TV series with over 200 episodes, featuring 70+ actors in 40+ locations — all to provide our learners with the best content and make Chinese learning immersive, effortless, and fun.
Nihaokids
2021
In 2021, we put together a team of experienced curriculum developers, educators, designers, programmers and animators, and started designing the NihaoKids system. We love this project so much. It combines the top-notch experience of our curriculum designers (who know how children learn, and how to make the best Chinese learning content) with the IT team’s experience in making a fun, interactive educational platform, and with the talent of our designer team, who have truly made the story come to life. Can’t wait for the young learners to explore NihaoKids!
