I chose this program because CET Harbin is the perfect place to learn the Chinese language. In Harbin, English-speaking foreigners are few, the Harbin accent has hardly any local dialect, so it is as standard Mandarin as one can get. This means that once you leave the classroom, the Chinese you will hear on the streets will be the same Chinese you learned in class.
It's also amazing to see the sites of China (daily weekend excursions organized by CET) while at the same time being able to study Chinese in an intensive classroom setting.
