My experience in global village school

Since the first day I was welcomed with my friends. The teachers in the school are amazing. I’ve nothing to say other than wish more foreign students have the same experience as me.

During my time in high school I had it really good moments, but my best moments that I’ve experienced are in a particular class during my senior year, in Sacramento, Calif. So I was basically a new student in these kind of classes and also I’m English learner. I remember my first presentation in this class. I didn’t want to do it, but finally I did it and that one was my best moment. When I went to present I felt afraid, and then when I presented I felt so good for the effort I applied on. Now I feel so much better than my first day of presentations because I now know that I can do whatever I want to do. The learnings that I acquire made it so good this moment because I know that I have to trust on me. Something teachers or students can learn from my experience is that we have to overcome our fears and not let them control ourselves because we can’t know our capabilities if we are afraid.

GVS Learning

I am a PhD student at Tsinghua University, I am taking oral language courses at Global Village School, I am from Pakistan, I have been living in Beijing for 5 years, this school is very close to every university, and it is also very close to the subway station.

Speaking of Ms. Liu, who taught me Chinese, she was a good conversationalist. We became friends very quickly. We even went to bars and restaurants together on some weekends. Our Chinese class is always full of laughter because I am a joker myself, we also learned a lot of local words and popular words on the Internet, which makes me feel that every class is very rewarding. Although I know there are many activities in this school, such as making dumplings and cutting paper, I like studying here very much.

Review of Global Village School

The school is quite flexible with the schedule of classes and provides personal assistance on different matters. If you have a question, everyone is willing to help. I also enjoyed the cultural activities they created for students, which gave an insight into chinese traditions. There is a nice and open atmosphere at the school, which doesn't make you feel pressured about learning. There are a lot of teachers with different teaching styles, so you can find out what works best for you. If you are looking for a comfortable atmosphere for learning without much pressure, this school could be the right choice.

Highly recommended

In this school, teachers and staffs are warm and kind. Also, there are many different levels of classes. It is very helpful to choose appropriate level depending on your language skill. Teachers are very professional and patient even you are not good at speaking. The tuition fee is reasonable. There are many culture exchange activities in this program. For example, making food, making traditional fan, drawing like this. My language skill has been improved dramatically in a short time. Thus, I'm very satisfied.

Such great support!

This school offers a variety of lessons. I personally lived one year in Beijing and had classes there! It was truly so nice to have a class with other foreigners, a teacher who actually supports you while talking Chinese. There’s plenty of chances to express your thought. This might be challenging and new at first, but just a matter of habit and it’s truly the best way and most fun way to learn the language!

Currently I take classes online from my home country Germany to china! I love this practice once a week. Time flies by and this way I don’t loose my language skills!!

What was your funniest moment?
Truly classes with my teacher! I like her humor and her energy! We often joke and there’s times when I really enjoy the classes topics!! I love all the discussions, online and in person!
Pros
  • Great support from office
  • Helpful and nice teachers
  • Chance to openly discuss
Cons
  • None!! Really NONE

Fun and effective!

I’ve been taking classes at Global Village for over a year now and I was able to pass HSK 6 faster than I thought thanks to all the amazing teachers! Now I’m attending a language course at one of the universities but I still choose to study at Global Village at the same time.

Not only does the school offer high-quality classes, but also they organize activities to immerse students in Chinese culture quite often. I was able to learn the culture and make friends there and my life in Beijing could not be better! Highly recommend this school for those who don’t give up both studying and having fun.

Nice school!nice teacher!

I am a big fan of Chinese culture, and I am trying to start my Chinese adventure at the Global Village Language School.

Before I came here, I knew very little about Chinese, only "hello" and "thank you". But now, I can have a simple conversation! It's all thanks to the global village.

This school is amazing! It's full of energy, has funny Chinese posters everywhere, and has a great Chinese library with lots of interesting books.

The teachers are impeccable! My Chinese teacher, Miss Liang, has a unique and interesting teaching method. She used a combination of English and Chinese to help me understand complex concepts. Last time I learned the name of family members, she drew a family tree and let me remember it immediately. She always had a warm smile and encouraged me to speak up. Even when I'm wrong, she corrects me patiently.

I sincerely recommend you to come to Global Village Language School. Here, you can learn Chinese easily and happily, and deeply feel the charm of Chinese culture.
