A Gap Year of Mine in China

My gap year with GoAbroadChina was a transformative adventure. It was a wild ride through hidden streets and local markets, a true exploration of the real China. The internship gave me real work skills, and the language lessons made it all connect. I saw parts of China most people miss, and the program made it easy and safe. Every day was a surprise, from the food to the people; China felt alive. I learned more than just language; I learned how to navigate a whole new world. The program's staff was like a team of friends, always ready to help. I built a network of friends from all over the world, and grew so much. The balance of learning, working, and exploring was perfect. This gap year wasn't just a break; it was a launchpad for my future. I found my own path in China, and GoAbroadChina was the best guide.

My Homestay of GoAbroadChina

My experience learning Chinese with GoAbroadChina was exceptional. The homestay felt like a warm hug, not just a place to sleep, and the university classes made Chinese click. Living with a local family showed me real Chinese life, beyond any textbook. The professors were patient, and the family was kind; I learned so much, so fast. The university was top-notch, but the family meals were the best lessons. I felt like a part of the family, and the language just flowed naturally. This wasn't just studying; it was living and breathing Chinese. The program made learning fun, and the homestay made it real. I gained confidence in speaking Chinese, and made lifelong friends. The experience was immersive.

Learn Chinese with Homestay at a Top University in China

Staying with a Chinese family while studying at a top university was an experience that reshaped my understanding of both language and culture. Every shared meal, casual chat, and simple daily habit turned into an opportunity to learn. Instead of memorizing phrases from a textbook, I absorbed Mandarin naturally—through laughter at the dinner table, morning greetings, and even trips to the local market. The cultural immersion wasn’t just educational; it felt like finding a second home. My host family embraced me as one of their own, and the friendships I formed will last a lifetime. If you want to master Chinese in a way that feels effortless and deeply personal, this program is the way to go

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments was when I tried to order food at a small restaurant using my beginner Mandarin. I confidently asked for “jī ròu” (chicken), but the waiter looked confused. After repeating myself a few times, he smiled and brought out a giant plate of pig’s feet! Turns out, I had mixed up my tones! My friends couldn’t stop laughing, and I ended up trying a new dish I never would have ordered on purpose.
Pros
  • Learning Mandarin in a university is great
  • You get real-life practice every day
  • It makes learning feel effortless

Go Abroad China

Why did you choose this program?

I had to go abroad as per university course requirements. I first started my research and involved my career advisor who is also on campus, and helped a lot with finalizing the formalities of going abroad from my school.

What did your program provider assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

Go Abroad China did manage to give me all the important things: getting my study visa didn't present any problems, I got picked up at the airport in Shanghai since it was my first time there anyway. I think the weekend activities can be even more organized.

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

Not to be scared and enjoy China because once you are there and studying everyday, time tends to go by very quickly. Within no time you will realize you are already preparing to go back to your original school after the summer holidays.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

I had around 20 hours of class time per week, which was definitely a lot since I went to summer school and expected it to be a little less strict. But actually, it was fine in the end and I had a blast learning Chinese with 20 something other classmates from a lot of different countries.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it and/or how did your views on the issue change?

Going to China for the first time was of course something I really thought about and got nervous about, but strangely enough I wasn't shocked as I had predicted. I was worried about life since I didn't speak Chinese, but actually Shanghai is so modern, the Chinese there speak English.

What is your favorite memory from your time abroad?

Being in Shanghai and learning about the city, its hang outs, history, new locations and other little nooks in the city with new friends was a great experience for me.

What is your favorite travel memory?

One of the best places I have visited here in China is Yunnan Province. Yunnan is a special place occupied by different minority groups, these people usually speak a different language to the Mandarin Chinese that we are used to, their food is different but they have preserved their cultural heritage very well, so much that their way of life attracts lots of Chinese and foreign tourists. I think it is amazing that we can all be in China but still have groups of people who haven't gone mainstream; they still have their unique traditions that people travel many miles to go see.

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

When I first joined Go Abroad China, our main cities of operations were Beijing and Shanghai. Having branched out to southern China, Chengdu city in Sichuan Province is actually becoming quite popular, this is a great thing because people can still have great experiences even if they are not in Beijing or Shanghai. Chengdu seems to be getting some spotlight now especially from foreigners who are looking for language learning and work opportunities. Many firms are also relocating there because the average cost of living and production is still quite low, meaning better profits compared to if they were located in Shanghai.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Yes, I think the top thing I still continue to learn even today is maintaining good working relationships with our partner companies. In our go abroad and education sector, we have collaborations with many different companies inside China, and schools too. I feel like my people skills are always being put to the test because part of my job duties involves communicating directly with them. And during the busiest months when we have many clients, our communication is even more frequent. So keeping a good connection and relationship with such companies is the most important thing that I have learned and have to keep doing.

What unique qualities does your company possess?

I have seen that a large portion of our clients are usually happy with how we arrange placements for them, it makes me feel proud of our company's service delivery department, their job is very important as our company is judged based on that. With the company doing well, we are able to help even the clients/applicants who have a limited budget to customize our services so that at least we can reach a satisfactory agreement. For a few lucky ones, they might even get a partial scholarship if they prove that they are hard-workers and fit the requirements.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

We had a young student from Australia who joined the language program in Beijing, when her program came to an end, like many others she was saying how much she would miss Beijing and that she would come back. At the time, of course, I thought it was a polite conversation, but a year later I was surprised when she called us back as said this time she wants to do an internship! I thought it was special because due to the expenses of traveling to China, it takes a lot of time to save up and have a new budget to travel again. Our management over here was so impressed that she got herself a sweet discount, she is now considered a friend here at our GAC offices!
