Chinese language skills

I came to China without knowing much. I could only say "Hi" and "Thank you" in Chinese. So, I decided to join this school to study the Chinese language. After just a couple of months here, my Chinese has improved a lot. I can now use basic conversation skills in my daily life. Coming here was a very good choice, and I highly recommend studying at this school.The prices are reasonable compared to what I have gained. My teacher is very friendly and helpful. I have never felt stressed during class. Our teachers always encourage us to communicate in Chinese with our classmates, which has helped me improve a lot.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
My Chinese teacher very friendly, I feel comfortable every time when I come to this school. We have a good environment to study and improve my Chinese language skills.

Wonderful expeience of Chinese

I just came to China this September and have always loved Chinese culture, so I enrolled in Global Village School in Wudaokou campus.

Now I'm taking the Basic Chinese course and I'm getting a lot out of it. The course starts with Pinyin and simple Chinese characters, and the teacher helps me to memorize the complicated strokes in many interesting ways, such as by playing a game of Chinese character cards. I used to think that Chinese characters were like complicated paintings and I couldn't learn them at all, but now I can recognize hundreds of commonly used characters and I can write simple sentences, so my progress is very obvious.

I also participated in a dumpling-making culture class organized by the organization, which was so much fun! Although the dumplings I made were very strange in shape, we all had a great time making dumplings and communicating with each other at the same time. Not only did I learn how to make dumplings, but I also gained a deeper understanding of Chinese food culture.

This school has a comfortable environment and a great learning atmosphere.

Response from Global Village School

I chose one-on-one sessions because most foreigners speak English. Even if we try to speak Chinese in class, we end up using English outside of class. So, I prefer to avoid using English.
