Solid Program with Real Immersion — A Great Way to Learn Mandarin

The program provided exactly what I was looking for — a real chance to improve my Chinese in an immersive environment. The university classes were high-quality, and the homestay gave me daily exposure to the language and culture. My host family was kind and welcoming, and I picked up useful expressions just from conversations at the dinner table.

The weekend trips and cultural events were also well-organized and added a lot of fun to the experience. My only suggestion would be to offer a bit more flexibility in class schedules or options for students at different levels. Still, overall, this was a rewarding and unforgettable experience that significantly boosted my language skills.

A Life-Changing Experience I’ll Never Forget

Joining the Learn Chinese at China's Top University with Homestay program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The classes were well-structured and taught by passionate instructors who really cared about our progress. But what made it truly special was the homestay. Living with a local family helped me practice Mandarin every day and gave me insight into real Chinese life—something no textbook can teach. The balance of academics, cultural excursions, and support from the program staff made me feel safe, inspired, and constantly learning. I came to China nervous and left with a new language, a second family, and unforgettable memories.

Amazing Experience for Language and Cultural Immersion

I had a wonderful experience learning Mandarin through Go Abroad China’s program! The classes were very engaging, and the extra activities like cultural tours and networking events made it even more enjoyable. Living with a local family through the homestay option really helped me improve my Chinese and gave me a deeper understanding of everyday life in China.

The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that sometimes the schedule felt a bit too packed, and I wished for a little more free time to explore independently. But overall, it was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their language skills while truly immersing themselves in Chinese culture!

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.

Building Skills and Confidence by Go Abroad China

Learning Chinese through Go Abroad China’s language program was a life-changing experience. The classes were small and fun, and the teachers were very patient and helpful. I stayed with a local Chinese family who helped me practice speaking Mandarin most of the time. We also joined fun cultural lessons like cooking, etc..

This program is really great internship at the sametimes learning new language. I will comeback again to China and choose again go abroad china program.

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.
