Learning Chinese through GAC’s

Learning Chinese through GAC’s homestay program was the most authentic way to understand the culture. I lived with a local family in Xi’an who welcomed me warmly and encouraged me to practice Mandarin daily. My language classes at a partner university were engaging, but the real learning happened at home—sharing meals, joining local events, and living like a true local. It was a perfect blend of academics and cultural experience. Real Immersion with Language & Culture GAC is recommended for a wonderful experience.

Dear Hannah,

Your Xi'an journey—from classroom learning to family dinners—epitomizes the magic of true immersion! We're thrilled you gained both language skills and authentic connections. Keep embracing new adventures with that same open heart.

P.S. Your host family’s dinner table probably feels a little quieter without your Mandarin practice!

I wanted my gap year to be meaningful,

I wanted my gap year to be meaningful, and GAC delivered. I started with six months of Mandarin classes in Suzhou, then moved on to a three-month internship at a finance company in Beijing. The balance between studying and working gave me perspective on my future. The language immersion helped me become semi-fluent, and the work experience taught me to adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment. I returned home more mature, focused, and ready for university.
