If you have lived in Hong Kong for more than a few months, you know the feeling: a casual lunch chat suddenly switches to Mandarin, or your child chats away happily with classmates in Chinese and you’re left out of the conversation. For many expats, learning Chinese often feels like hitting a brick wall – slow, rigid and stuck with outdated textbooks. But for over 12 years, Nihao Language Education has proven that mastering Mandarin can be fast and fun.
10,000+ Teaching Hours
Nihao did not start in a fancy boardroom with big investor pitch decks. It started with one passionate teacher rushing between office towers across Central with a notebook and back-to-back classes.
After finishing her Master’s degree in Teaching Chinese at EdUHK and teaching with kids at ESF Kowloon Junior School, Alice Han Shuai (韓帥) began coaching corporate leaders and legal partners across Central.
She noticed right away that traditional language courses were out of touch with real life. Busy professionals did not want to memorise textbook words; they wanted to speak naturally with their team, handle business dinners, and chat comfortably when visiting the mainland.
After over 10,000 teaching hours, Alice officially founded Nihao on 23 September 2014. Today, she leads a handpicked team of master’s-degreed teachers who bring that same warm, high-energy approach to every single class.
