Learning Chinese in Poznan? Meet the School with a Unique Approach

The Lowdown

Chinese is booming! More parents are getting their kids ready for the future by introducing them to Mandarin early, and businesses are realizing that speaking Chinese is a game-changer. But let’s be real—learning it isn’t exactly a walk in the park. That’s where Zuza Chorodeńska and her language school, Miła Szkoła Językowa in Poznań’s Old Town come in, flipping the script on traditional language learning.

The Founder

Located at Tylne Chwaliszewo 8/U2, this isn’t just another language school where you grind through vocabulary lists. Zuza Chorodeńska, the mastermind behind it, has crafted her own innovative methods that make learning Chinese and English immersive, engaging, and—dare we say—magical.

A Master of Sinology and with studies at the University of Sichuan, Zuza is more than just a language expert—she’s a true educator at heart. As the author of pioneering textbooks and teaching techniques, she’s obsessed with pedagogy and dedicated to making learning not just effective, but exciting.

ManMan & ManMan Junior – A Whole New Way to Learn Chinese

For adults and teenagers, the ManMan method makes learning Chinese feel natural and intuitive, ditching the boring rote memorization in favor of interactive techniques. But the real magic happens with kids aged 5 to 12, thanks to ManMan Junior, a storytelling-based program where young learners dive into a world of dragons, friendship, and adventure while picking up Mandarin along the way.

The 5 Senses Method – English Learning Like Never Before

The English classes here are just as unique—crafted through a true team effort. Designed for kids as young as 3, the 5 Senses Method fully immerses students in the language. It’s not just about learning words—it’s about experiencing them through storytelling, visuals, sounds, and interactive play. The method is primarily used in preschool courses, but key elements—like language immersion, diverse tools, engaging content, and positive energy—are woven into all their courses. For adults and older kids, the focus is on practical language skills—like ordering food on vacation or making work tasks easier. For kids, it’s about acing exams while incorporating their interests, whether it’s gaming, music, or more. Practical, fun, and never boring! 🤩
