How a language school got its students practising between lessons
XMandarin Chinese Language School in Qingdao runs its courses on a learning platform that Mikavo built and operates under the school’s own name. This page shows where the school started, what was built and what changed.
Case study
A real platform, in daily use.
For XMandarin Chinese Language School we built a complete learning platform: flashcards, placement tests, mock exams, homework and a leaderboard. Their students use it as part of their course, every day.
Before
- Students rarely practiced between lessons
- Homework was often forgotten between lessons
- Communication was fragmented across channels
After
- Practice became part of the daily routine
- Exercises are completed and tracked in one place
- One branded home for the whole learning experience

“Our students open the app at home without anyone telling them to. Before, they only studied during class. For us that is the biggest change.”
Lei, School Director
XMandarin Chinese Language School · Qingdao
The starting point
Before the platform, the school’s course material lived in PDFs and chat groups. Between two lessons students rarely practised, homework was often forgotten, and communication was spread across channels.
What was built
A complete learning platform under the school’s own name: flashcards, placement tests, mock exams, homework and a leaderboard, filled with the school’s own vocabulary across seven levels. It runs in the browser on any device and can be added to the home screen, without an app store.
How it is used
The platform is part of the course. Students practise at home between lessons, and exercises are completed and tracked in one place instead of in chat threads.
