With the development of partnerships with China, the Chinese language is gaining popularity in Russia. Many have heard about the complexity of learning hieroglyphs, not to mention the unusual pronunciation. Only in order to properly read the language of the Middle Kingdom, you need to remember a few thousand characters! It is not surprising that when choosing a school, it is necessary to pay attention to teaching techniques and teachers. It depends on this how fast the difficult material will be learned.
We reviewed several dozen schools in Moscow and collected the top five. They offer unique training programs in groups and individually, communication with the media, issue certificates to successful students. The rating includes language centers with experience that deserve positive feedback from students.

Rating (2019): 4.6
Opens the ranking of the best language and culture club Two East, which offers a complete immersion in the life of China. Here they prepare schoolchildren, students for admission to foreign universities, businessmen to communicate with foreign colleagues. Together with grammar, students follow traditions and customs, try to understand national peculiarities. Classes are carriers with experience. Russian-speaking teachers have a philological education. Everyone is invited to a dating lesson (by appointment). There you can also be tested, determine the level of knowledge and get into the group.
In the reviews, they note that teachers see strengths and weaknesses by adjusting the program for students. The lesson covers all aspects of the language, including oral and written communication. Students translate texts, solve problems, read and listen to records. Teachers do not work on a pattern, they find an approach. If necessary, the lesson is extended a little, there is time for personal questions. With individual training schedule adapts to the person. However, there are not very flattering reviews about teachers-carriers. They write that they speak Russian poorly, so beginners cannot understand the rules. Some people recall that teachers skip from one topic to another.

Those wishing to start communicating in Chinese from the first minutes should pay attention to Lingua House. Grammar is studied in parallel, along the way words are remembered. The site proudly claims about the most effective methodology approved by educational institutions. Students are given material in the desired language, difficult moments are explained in Russian. Teachers encourage work in pairs, give tasks for finding errors, comparisons and comparisons. Connect memory, logic, imaginative and analytical thinking. This is the best way to overcome the constraint and language barrier. I want to say a little about the classrooms: they are simple, but modern, with student libraries, computers, projectors. One program lasts 84 academic hours.
In reviews, teachers are often noted, calling their method of learning excellent. Students say that everyone has enough attention and time to talk. Questions understood in detail. The groups are mixed, both schoolchildren and adults go together. At the same time, the atmosphere remains friendly, relaxing.However, there are no classes with a tutor of Chinese, only together with others. There are reviews of a strange presentation of material: teachers leap from topic to topic. Some attribute this to the fact that native speakers here are students with little learning experience.

The BIGWIG Language Center opened in Moscow in 2010, quickly gaining the title of the best. The basis of the program is a conversational course, supported by grammar and pronunciation. Teachers seek to create a friendly atmosphere, to convey the culture of the country. Media are regularly connected, correcting and prompting students. At the first visit, a person is tested, on the basis of which is recorded in the group. Successfully completing the program, he receives a certificate. At school, they conduct not only familiar lessons, but also play Mafia, attend business trainings, and attend conversational clubs.
Students write that from the first minutes the atmosphere adjusts in a friendly way. Language learning takes place without pressure. Many people remember the positive energy of teachers. They talk about the game form lessons, time flies by. However, there are complaints about small rooms, in the classrooms are always crowded. Not everyone likes conversational clubs: a lot of people come, those who are more thoroughly trained and not shy to communicate. In groups of students, too, more than the competition, although the cost of classes is similar.

Center Eurasia is one of the most modern in Moscow, offering classes in classrooms and Skype. The program of the Chinese language is approved by the Department of Education, after its completion, students receive a certificate. The school has established a partnership with the network academy Mandarin House, sending interested persons to the Middle Kingdom. Pupils go on excursions, prepare for admission to universities, attend clubs and master classes on interests. The site boasts high rankings: 99.7% of students take the HSK exam. The school cooperates with 27 international companies, helping to find internships abroad.
The reviews write about the diversity of programs for each level of language learning. There is a separate course for those wishing to delve into the grammar, morphology and syntax. Frequently mentioned are friendly administrators and experienced teachers. In addition to classrooms, the school has recreation areas with a coffee machine and a cooler. There are many schoolchildren among pupils, and adults come in the evening. Part of the class is held with a Russian-speaking teacher, speakers are regularly invited. The only thing that confuses is the location. School is difficult to find, and lessons are conducted in the basement.

The best among those who deserved it was the Confucius Institute of Moscow State University, on the basis of which Chinese language courses operate. Together with the Committee of the People's Republic of China, an academic program was created covering all the features of speech. Here are waiting for both beginners and experts to deepen in the spoken language. The course conforms to international standards, classes include the study of Putonghua in the form of games. Students easily learn grammatical and phonetic rules, while at the same time delving into the history and culture of the country. The full program is designed for 480 classroom academic hours, there are also shorter courses. At first, Russian teachers study with students, then carriers connect.
In the reviews they write that after completing the full program in Chinese, you can speak, write and read.Students are able to perceive speech by ear, to support everyday topics. The level of knowledge in accordance with the international qualification system is equal to HSK-2. I am glad to have daytime, evening and weekend lessons. Many people write about the friendly atmosphere and the atmosphere that makes you learn the language. The school helps capable students to leave for internships in China.
