Have you spent years with textbooks, but still can't understand or speak to natives?





We've seen way too many students like you. They've spent years with textbooks, even reached HSK 5, but when it comes to having spontaneous conversations with Chinese people... total crickets!

The problem is, textbooks and HSK exams are great for getting a qualification and for memorising technical words, but they just don't train you to understand real-life, unadulterated Chinese speech.

The kind of Chinese you hear in your Didi from the airport or on the streets in Shanghai.

And that sucks! You spend years on Chinese just to pass an exam, but not to do the thing we find most fulfilling, talking to and connecting with Chinese people.

How do we cure your unnatural Chinese without endless textbooks?

Quite simply swapping out the traditional approach for a more intuitive approach.

We don't force students to do vocabulary tests or to recite outdated dialogues.

Instead, we help them immerse in various types of Chinese media, training them to notice sentence patterns and to develop an intuition for Chinese structures.

Our team is very privileged to live in China and to use Chinese in our professional and personal lives, however we recognise that not everyone has the same time or resources to create a media-based programme that actually works for them.

That's why a lot of students choose to study with Sinosphere. We have the advantage of 20 years of experience and a team of 5 bilingual teachers who can create this exact learning environment for you and all our students across the world.

We deliver a curriculum based entirely on native media, curated and broken down for your exact level. Our teachers are here to diagnose your weak spots and get you thinking and speaking in Chinese like a native, on topics that are actually interesting to you!

Why media-powered learning works better than textbooks

Develop an intuition for Mandarin

Our media based curriculum is designed to develop your pattern recognition skills in Mandarin, one of the cornerstones of language fluency. It's what helps you learn vocabulary faster, and also retain it for longer

Actually have fun whilst learning

We don't know about you, but we find textbooks dry and boring. Sure, they help you build a necessary foundation, but beyond that textbooks aren't exactly known for evoking students' passion for the language. Media can be adapted to your interests and our team of Laoshi always search for pieces of media that suit your interests.

Native media is the most authentic form of Chinese. It is neither watered down for foreigners' consumption, nor is it outdated like some textbooks. It exposes you to what's current and trending in China NOW. That's what makes it such a powerful tool for learning.

Interact with up-to-date resources from China
Get exposure to accents and dialects

Anyone who's been to China, knows that not everyone speaks with perfect and crystal clear Putonghua.
In fact for a lot of Chinese, Putonghua or Mandarin is not their first language. That's why they speak with an accent and sometimes may incorrectly pronounce their consonants and vowels. At Sinosphere, we help you get exposure to the various accents and slang you hear across Mainland China as well as Taiwan.

The team behind Sinosphere

Our team of teachers have 20 years of collective experience teaching Chinese to foreigners. We have deliberately curated a team of teachers who are ALL fluent speakers of English and Chinese.
They know exactly what it's like to learn a foreign language from scratch and they transfer these same learning methods to you.
