Monster Mandarin is the best learning platform for Mandarin Chinese. We've created innovative foreign language learning products that make it easier and most of all fun to learn Mandarin.
Monster Mandarin started as a proof of concept -- we asked ourselves: could we create our very own custom, play-based Mandarin class. That class turned into a set of classes, a program, and eventually a curriculum.
We've built a team of the most talented, bilingual educators who are designing and building the most innovative learning products for your kids. Our goal is to make learning as fun and enjoyable as possible, so that kids all over the world can expand their minds.
We're based in Santa Monica, California, but as our customers and partners know, we teach anywhere someone wants to learn Mandarin. We have now taught Mandarin Chinese to kids in 4 countries, 6 states, and 25 cities.
