A great way to get started with Mandarin
Why Learn with Friends?
We believe language learning is better together. Our platform combines the social motivation of group learning with the flexibility of online classes.
"I seriously struggled to find the motivation to study alone. After speaking to my friend who was having the same issue, we decided to book a class together and we now aced our HSK 3 together!"
Emma Richards - HSK 3 Graduate
Learn with Friends
Study with friends at your level. Make learning social, fun, and motivating.
Your Schedule, Your Way
Choose class times that work for you. We recommend meeting at least twice a week but if you're looking to speed up your progress you can meet as often as you like.
HSK-Aligned Curriculum
Our structured courses follow the HSK framework, so you can track progress and earn recognised qualifications.
Native-Speaking Teachers
Learn from experienced native Mandarin speakers who make every lesson engaging and effective.
Interactive Classes
Small group sizes mean more speaking practice, personalised feedback, and real conversation skills.
Track Your Progress
By taking officially recognised tests, you can track your progress through an internationally recognised system and see how far your Mandarin has come.
Prefer to make your own class?
Choose a course or tell us how you would like to learn. We can help you find the right HSK cohort or create a private class around your goals.
