8 weeks Chinese Intensive course
Beijing (1)
I am at a lower intermediate Chinese language level. Initially the course was really hard for me because at university we have a large class and only one teacher, so there was little chance of conversation practise. Now, after 2 months I have made a lot of progress. It’s exactly what I needed. Read More

Chinese language studies in Shanghai
Q: How are you finding your studies in China?
A: I have really been enjoying my studies. I came to Shanghai with certain goals for my language development and I think that I have met those. Among them has been to gain a working familiarity with Chinese characters, and by studying them in parallel with the regular intensive Mandarin language course I feel that I have really progressed. Not only that, but I also find the city that much more accessible when you can recognize a certain number of basic characters. I found that there is so much to learn while studying Chinese that I never had a chance to be bored! It was a rewarding challenge to balance my studies with exploration of the city. Read More

Chinese in Beijing (1)
Q: How are you finding your studies in China?
A: Very interesting as Mandarin is very different from any European language. It has been a good challenge.
Q: What do you find most interesting about Beijing?
A: The difference in culture and the opportunity to have many new experiences, sample different foods and meet people.
Q: What advice/tips would you give to others who plan to come and study in China?
A: Don’t underestimate the difficulty of communicating! It is always worth planning ahead and trying to get addresses and instruction (for taxi /train) written by Chinese characters. Also, come open minded about Chinese customs and food: the experience will be very enjoyable.

4 weeks in Shanghai
Intensive Chinese language course
Q: How are you finding your studies in China?
A: My studies in Shanghai have been the perfect introduction of the Mandarin language and a great opportunity to get at least a first insight in the Chinese way of living. Besides I have enjoyed the acquaintanceship and inspiring exchange of ideas with my classmates coming from allover the world very much. Probably I am not the only student who regards an accurate pronunciation and an improved listening comprehension as a true challenge… The more I highly recommend spending some time in China to further expand your listening experiences / habits – and your sense of humor in case of inevitable linguistically lapses.

Intensive Mandarin course
Q: How are you finding your studies in China?
A: I think that being in China helps me learn Mandarin much faster than if I would try to learn it in my own country. It’s not an easy language to learn; therefore it helps a lot to be immersed in it. Read More

Intensive course in Beijing
Studying Chinese in Beijing was wonderful!!! I liked it very much, especially the people that I met at the Chinese language school in Beijing. At all times the teachers, employees and students were kind, friendly and willing to help me in my studies. My class was also amazing. Dominic from Australia , Serge from Congo, Marie-Christine from France and, of course, our teacher Zhang Ye gave me memorable moments and made my Intensive Course studies less difficult. I will miss everyone. Read More
