What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
During my Chinese language program with Go Abroad China, my host family once served me century eggs (also known as preserved eggs). At first, I was a bit shocked by the dark color and jelly-like texture—but to my surprise, they were actually delicious, especially when paired with congee! It turned into a fun cultural moment, with my host family laughing at my hesitant reaction and then cheering me on when I gave it a try. Definitely one of the most unique and unforgettable parts of my experience in China.
Pros
  • Top University Education: Learn from experienced teachers at one of China’s best universities, ensuring high-quality Mandarin instruction.
  • Cultural Immersion: Living with a host family helps you practice the language daily and gain deep insight into Chinese culture and lifestyle.
  • Full Support: Go Abroad China provides visa assistance, airport pickup, and 24/7 local support.
Cons
  • Culture Shock: Adjusting to new customs, food, and routines with a host family can be challenging at first.
  • Language Barrier: Communication may be tough initially if you don’t speak any Chinese, especially in more traditional families.
  • Less Privacy: Homestay arrangements might offer less personal space compared to private housing.

Explore China

As a teenager, I wanted to do something fun and different for my summer break. GoAbroadChina made it really easy and safe for someone my age to explore China. We had Chinese language classes in the morning and fun cultural activities in the afternoon. I learned to write Chinese characters, say simple phrases, and even make dumplings. We also tried traditional dancing, which was super fun. Our teacher was kind and helped us when we didn’t understand. I made new friends from other countries, and we all had a great time together. It was my first time being far from home, but I felt safe and happy the whole time. I took so many pictures and shared cool stories with my family. I really want to go back again next summer

Let's Learn Chinese

If you want to learn Chinese, this program is for YOU—no matter where you're from.

I always dreamed of learning Chinese in China, and this program made it amazing. The teachers spoke clearly and made lessons easy to follow. Every day, we practiced listening, speaking, reading, and writing. After class, friendly tutors helped us with our homework.

There were also fun group activities like karaoke nights and museum trips. I made friends from all over the world, and the weekly language exchange with locals really boosted my speaking skills. In just a few weeks, my Chinese got so much better. The campus was clean, safe, and a great place to study. If you love languages or just want a new adventure, I can recommend this program. It works for everyone.

Fun and Exciting in China

This GoAbroadChina program was the perfect mix of learning and fun travel. Each city had something special to see, like pandas or palaces. We studied Chinese in short classes that were easy to follow. The teachers were kind and made learning fun. After class, we explored markets, temples, and parks. I loved trying street food and learning local words. The group I traveled with was small and friendly. I felt like I saw the real China, not just tourist spots. I’ll always remember the people and places. It was a life-changing experience.

My Second Language Mandarin

I joined this program to improve my Mandarin and it helped a lot. Living with a local family was new for me, but they were very kind and welcoming. Every day, I practiced Chinese with them, even when eating or watching TV. The university classes were clear, and the teachers really cared. I liked how the lessons matched daily life topics. We also had fun cultural trips like visiting temples and learning to cook dumplings. My favorite part was language exchange with local students. It helped me make friends and talk better. I felt safe and supported the whole time. Now I can speak Chinese much more confidently.
