FREE 6-week EduCare Program in China

I chose this program because it offered an opportunity to experience a different culture and language. This program also offers a chance to use the knowledge I have gained from my education and put it into practice.

I have recently been interested in learning Mandarin, and I also wanted to be able to assist someone learn English as a second language. This program enabled me to improve my Chinese as well as learn from teaching the child.

The Webinar for the pre-departure was very helpful and insightful. The Program Coordinator assisted me by answering questions and concerns about interactions with families, cultural differences, and other questions via WeChat. Having the Program Coordinator made the transition into the host family very smooth.

Which destination is most underrated? Conversely, which is most overrated?

1. In southernChina, there are lots of villages separated among piles of mountains. They still remain some of the customs from ancient days and speak dialogues only few can understand. To visit their lifestyle and environment would give a visitor a remarkable experience.

2. Sanya, Hainan. Hainan has become the international Tourism Island since 2008, but except the well-developed beach sights and top hotels, the city Sanya is quite dirty and messy. On summers, there are way too many people gathering on beaches and sea. Also, safety issues are also a common problem there.
