Peter Guilin CLI 2024

CLI is a fantastic immersive learning environment providing 4 hours of 1-on-1 classes per day initially split 3:2:1 (comprehensive, speaking, reading+listening). My teachers Summer, Molin, Echo, and Abby where all exceptionally professional and tailored lessons to my needs. For example, the last month of my program I wanted to solely focus on vocabulary consolidation for speaking - hence, all my classes became speaking classes. The caveat to this flexibility is that the student (if intermediate/advanced) must know their own leading goals clearly, only then can teachers fully fulfil your learning needs and prepare properly. Besides teaching, CLI is a warm, friendly environment to live in (I was there for 3.5 months), with ample organised activities to try new things, see new places. If you would like more opportunities to practice the language outside of class, you have to ask, "ask and you will receive" (also regarding extracurriculars). CLI's accommodation is also comfortable (not luxury) - double bed, ensuite, small kitchen (room dependent), with once a week cleaning. There is also a public kitchen if you want to cook your own dinners. Outside of CLI's walls, Guilin itself is an extremely liveable, relaxed city, with amazing natural scenery. I would highly recommend CLI.
