In the heart of Roi Et, northeastern Thailand, teacher Zhang Jianren is turning Chinese lessons into a cultural party 🎉. At Ban Nong Ya Ma Community School, every class feels like a mini-journey to the Chinese mainland, packed with games, songs, and even calligraphy sessions ✍️.
Mr. Zhang's secret? He mixes pop culture references—think Mandarin hits and viral dance moves—with classroom classics. This year alone, more than 100 schools in the province have invited him to share his interactive style, inspiring over 1 million Thai students nationwide to pick up Chinese 📚.
Across Thailand, thousands of schools now offer Chinese courses. From bustling Bangkok to quiet Chiang Mai, young learners are discovering the real, vibrant China: its food, festivals, and friendships 🌏. For many, these classes open doors to future study abroad, careers in tourism, tech, and more.
"Language is more than words," says Mr. Zhang. "It's a bridge between hearts and minds." And thanks to passionate educators like him, the ties between Thailand and the Chinese mainland are golden—and growing stronger every day.
