Chinese courses in China
The best way to learn the Chinese language or improve your Chinese language skills is to take a Chinese course in the country where the Chinese language is spoken. At all of our Chinese language schools all of our courses are taught in Chinese ensuring a total immersion experience. With international students arriving from all over the world all eager to improve their Chinese and to make new friends our Chinese courses are also good fun! Students learn so much quicker when they are enjoying their Chinese course and from the day you arrive to the day you depart we make sure that you are making the most out of your Chinese course in China.
Chinese language schools
We visit all of our Chinese language schools to make sure that you receive the highest standard of teaching, facilities and accommodation available in your chosen location. Choosing a Chinese course can be a daunting prospect, which is why we offer an advisory service before, during and after your course. We can help you plan the trip, book your flight, organise your travel insurance and test your level of Chinese.
Chinese language courses
All of our Chinese language schools use a teaching method that allows students to develop the four basic skills of language learning: listening comprehension, speaking, reading and writing. The aim is to learn the language in a natural and spontaneous way, just as students have learned their mother tongue. All of our students are encouraged to speak in the target language from the very first day using it in typical real-life situations. The basic syllabus is supplemented by special exercises such as role-play, group dynamics, vocabulary games, and the use of audio-visual facilities.
Class sizes are small with an average of 6 students per group. This helps ensure personal attention and the opportunity for self-expression.
All of our Chinese courses are based on 5 main levels from beginner to advanced level.
All of our students receive a certificate of attendance and achievement at the end of their course.
Accommodation in China
To maximise your language learning on your Chinese course we recommend that you stay with one of our carefully chosen Chinese host families. Staying with a Chinese host family provides you with a 'total immersion' in the Chinese language as the family will normally only speak to you in Chinese. This helps you learn the language more quickly. You will have your own private bedroom and your host family will normally provide you with breakfast and evening meal each day.
Social and Cultural Activities
We understand that learning the Chinese language does not stop when you leave the classroom. That is why all of our Chinese language schools offer a supplementary social and cultural activity programme during afternoons, evenings and weekends. These include Chinese calligraphy, paper cutting, dumpling making, water painting, visits to acrobatic shows, and museums, martial arts, shopping and excursions to water towns and ancient towns. Some activities are offered free of charge.
