Online Chinese courses are excellent for: those who cannot come to China to study (or might plan to eventually, but wants to get a head start on learning), those who will be moving to China and would like to arrive prepared to communicate, someone who would like to supplement lessons to progress faster. It is also suitable for students with a challenging schedule or location, for whom it would be difficult to attend classes at a language center and any student who wishes to continue studying after a visit to China or completion of a course.

Miracle Mandarin employs a unique teaching method to enable students to learn Chinese faster and systematically. Our classes do not use English or another intermediary language since the students are from different nationalities and speak different native languages. Total immersion in a Chinese learning environment helps every student learn fast. Plenty of visual tools, games, role play and presentations are used in the classroom to make the learning experience natural and comfortable. Repetition is the key to subconscious learning. This effective methodology is practiced and realized by our own well trained MM teachers, with the support of our online Chinese learning resources which are available whenever there is Internet access, making it practical and fun.
