Living the Language in Beijing

Learning Chinese while living with a local family was the most immersive and authentic way to understand the language and culture. My host family treated me like one of their own — we cooked meals together, celebrated local festivals, and talked about everything from daily life to big dreams. The classes at the university were top-notch, with experienced teachers who tailored lessons to our levels. But it was the homestay that truly made everything click. I wasn't just studying Chinese — I was living it. This program gave me more than language skills; it gave me confidence, independence, and unforgettable memories.
