The Perfect Blend of Language Learning and Local Living

Learning Chinese at one of China's top universities while living with a local family was the most authentic and enriching experience I've ever had. The classes were structured yet engaging, and the university instructors were incredibly supportive.

Staying with a host family allowed me to immerse myself in everyday Chinese life, practice my Mandarin daily, and build genuine relationships I’ll never forget. I gained not only language skills but also a deep appreciation for Chinese culture, food, and traditions.

Go Abroad China made everything easy—from airport pickup to helping with cultural transitions. If you’re serious about learning Mandarin and want a real cultural experience, this is the program for you!

An Authentic Journey into Language and Culture

Enrolling in this program was one of the best decisions I’ve made for both my personal and academic growth. The classes at the university were intensive yet incredibly rewarding, with teachers who truly care about your progress.

What made the experience unforgettable was the homestay. I wasn’t just studying Chinese—I was living it. My host family welcomed me like one of their own, helped me practice daily, and shared their traditions and stories.

This wasn’t just a study trip; it was a cultural deep dive that gave me confidence, fluency, and lifelong memories. Perfect for anyone serious about learning Chinese the right way.

Learning Chinese Felt Like Enjoying it

Studying at one of China's top universities while living with a local family was truly the best of both worlds. The classes were well-structured and engaging, but it was the homestay experience that made everything come alive.

Every evening felt like an extension of class—chatting in Mandarin over dinner, learning cultural nuances firsthand, and building a bond with my host family that I’ll always cherish.

This program isn’t just about learning a language—it’s about living it. Highly recommend to anyone who wants full immersion and genuine cultural connection.

A Cultural and Language Journey I’ll Never Forget

Joining the Chinese language program with a homestay was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only did I get to study at one of China’s most prestigious universities, but living with a local family also gave me daily opportunities to practice real-life Mandarin. My host family was kind, supportive, and made me feel like one of their own. The classes were structured, engaging, and taught by experienced instructors. I also loved the cultural excursions and how immersed I felt in everyday life in China. This experience truly deepened my appreciation for the language and culture!

An Authentic and Enriching Mandarin Learning Experience!

Joining the “Learn Chinese at China's Top University with Homestay” program was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The classes were intensive and well-structured, taught by experienced instructors who genuinely cared about our progress. What made it even more special was the homestay experience – my host family was incredibly warm, patient, and welcoming. I not only improved my Mandarin rapidly but also experienced Chinese culture in the most authentic way possible, from daily family meals to celebrating local festivals together. The program's balance of academics, cultural activities, and support made it both educational and unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone serious about learning Mandarin and immersing themselves in Chinese life!

A Valuable Cultural and Language Learning Experience

I had a great experience with the Chinese language program at one of China’s top universities. The classes were well-structured and the teachers were knowledgeable and supportive. The homestay added a meaningful cultural layer to my learning—I got to practice Mandarin daily and experience real local life. There were also regular cultural activities and excursions which helped me explore more of China.

The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that I wish the placement process for homestays had been a bit more transparent upfront. But overall, it was a rewarding and immersive program that I’d recommend to anyone serious about improving their Chinese and understanding Chinese culture.

The Perfect Blend of Language Learning and Cultural Immersion

This program exceeded all my expectations! Studying Chinese at one of China’s top universities gave me access to high-quality language instruction with experienced and friendly teachers who really cared about our progress. The curriculum was intensive but manageable, and I saw noticeable improvement in my Mandarin within just a few weeks.

The homestay experience was the highlight—my host family was incredibly welcoming and made me feel like part of the family. Speaking Mandarin with them every day helped reinforce what I learned in class and gave me real-life context to the language.

Between the cultural excursions, support from the Go Abroad China team, and the warm, immersive environment, I couldn’t have asked for a better way to learn Chinese. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to study Mandarin seriously while experiencing authentic Chinese life.

A great blend of Language Learning and Cultural Experience

Joining this program was a memorable experience! The language classes at the university were intensive and well-structured, and my Mandarin definitely improved. Living with a host family gave me firsthand exposure to Chinese culture, which was both educational and heartwarming. I especially appreciated the weekend cultural activities that helped us explore the local history and traditions. One small area for improvement would be offering more personalized academic support or tutoring options, especially for beginners who may feel overwhelmed. Overall, this is a great program for anyone serious about learning Chinese in an immersive environment!
