Go Abroad China

Hello, my name is Kyrra White. I'm 17 years old. I attend Bentley University, where I major in international business. Specifically, I am majoring in Chinese. I have studied Mandarin Chinese for four years, and I came to China to further my language studies.

I am participating in the Beijing Language and Culture University Chinese program. It's been awesome so far. Go Abroad China has really been supportive. I found out about Go Abroad China online, and although I didn't know much about it, I thought, why not? It was a great choice. I really enjoy the program and the support I have received.

Meeting people from around the world was pretty awesome. I've never had a class where there are people from all around the world in one spot. Literally, every continent was represented; it was awesome. Also, my teachers were very nice and helpful after class. If I needed any extra help, they were there for me. It was really good. I completed my goal, which was to get better in Chinese, and I have improved a lot. This experience was unique because when I came to China through a program, I had someone there to pick me up and take me to my host parents. I just had people there to help me, and that was different for me, but I thought it was great. I loved it. Also, living with a host family was pretty awesome. I really got to dive in and immerse myself in Chinese culture.

Because of Go Abroad China, my classes were set up, and I had very comfortable living conditions. I've been able to go farther in my language studies. My major is international business with a focus on Chinese, which works specifically with Chinese and American business relations. Knowing Chinese is very important for me, and I feel like I've gotten a lot farther than I would have if I stayed home. Being here and immersing myself in Chinese culture has allowed me to figure out where I want to go in the future.

The host family was really cool. I loved my host family. I also had host grandparents, which was very comfortable for me, and I felt safe. That's important.

I went to the Great Wall of China, which was really awesome. I had done it before, but this time was a completely different experience. I went with my classmates, and it was really great. I also went to Mongolia for a field trip. That was a really fun trip, well-planned, and I felt safe the entire time. It was really great.

I would recommend Go Abroad China to my friends. The classroom is different from what I'm used to, but I like it. At first, I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but once I got here, I realized that I was in good hands. I felt comfortable, and people were there to help me, teach me how to get to school every day, and help with simple things.

I'd like to thank you a lot for this experience. I really appreciate everything. You guys are a great team. Thank you.

My name is Jean Pirenne. I joined the GoAbroadChina program and participated from the beginning of January to the 19th of February. My experience was very good. My host family was very nice. They mentioned that their screening process is very rigorous, and I believe them because the host family was really good. I can't say anything bad about them, so that was a very good point. I was very satisfied as well with my Chinese lessons. From what I've heard, they enrolled me in one of the most well-known and recommended private Chinese learning schools in Beijing, and it was very, very useful. I learned a lot of Chinese.

I started learning Chinese when I was about 15 or 16 years old, mainly because my dad encouraged me to do it. But I ended up really liking it, so I continued doing it. I think the value lies in several things. Obviously, there's a practical value in helping with your future career. That aside, it's also really fun. It really exercises your brain more than any other language, I think, because of all the visual recognition you have to use and all the characters you have to learn. It's a really rewarding experience, and even though it's hard, if you stick to it and your Chinese slowly improves, it can be very rewarding.

GoAbrodChina has always been very helpful, particularly Zoe. She was always there if I needed anything, answered my questions, and made me feel very welcomed and safe. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend time in China, learn Chinese, or have an internship. I recommend it to anyone.

I'm from the USA and I'm currently here in Shanghai for 3 months for a internship as well as individual Chinese lessons. I came here through GoAbroadChina and they were really helpful with the whole process they helped me find a company that was because I'm not super fluent in Mandarin so they helped me find a company that was based internationally and had a firm here, so they were really accommodating for that and it's also helping me a lot with my Chinese being able to kind of communicate a little bit in English too. They also help me find my individual lessons which was really helpful, the teacher is super nice. She caters towards your needs so some of my goals include being able to speak daily with my family members as well as with like locals so that's been really helpful and then they've also been really helpful just with getting me settle in - so picking me up from the airport, making sure that I knew my way around, and just having someone there constantly if you need help. Just to message or if you have any simple questions is so much better than just throwing yourself out there and not knowing anything so that was really helpful.

To begin, with I got in touch with them about a year ago and then GoAbroadChina sent me an accepting email. I was very fortunate to have GoAbroadChina as they helped me sort out my accommodation, my visa as well as a lot of other extra services that I would require. They arranged airport pick-up, my SIM card so I could be able to get internet and communicate with anyone.

GoAbroadChina also helped set up Chinese courses, set up tours for me to explore China. I actually visited Beijing with GoAbroadChina guides and it was an amazing experience.

GoAbroadChina also helped me sort out any issues that I had. I had a few problems visiting the hospital and they made sure that I was able go to the hospital with the translator. I've had an amazing experience with GoAbroadChina and I really really would recommend.
