I am a guy who couldn't speak Chinese at all. when I was in college in Australia, I heard that Beijing had a lot of good food and fun, I thought I needed to try it. but I can't speak Chinese, so I first found a Chinese school in Beijing, I know a few friends at Tsinghua University, and they said that the Global Village school is very good, the school may have been built more than 30 years ago. I signed up for a course here. They have a very good atmosphere of group classes, as well as a very flexible one-on-one time, which I like. I love my teacher very much, she is a very lovely person! I have been learning for less than a year, and now I can speak a lot of useful Chinese. I can go to the bar and talk to Chinese people, although I may not understand them when they speak very fast haha, but I can express my views with Chinese people in Chinese, I feel very accomplished! I really recommend Global Village School, you can really improve your Chinese here, and you can also master Chinese knowledge very easily! Oh, by the way, when I was there, they had moon cake making, which was fun, and a lot of other fun things, em, all lot that is free, it’s so nice!
What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Many of the decorations and walls in the classrooms and corridors are made of wood, you know, which is really artistic!
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.
