My Homestay of GoAbroadChina

My experience learning Chinese with GoAbroadChina was exceptional. The homestay felt like a warm hug, not just a place to sleep, and the university classes made Chinese click. Living with a local family showed me real Chinese life, beyond any textbook. The professors were patient, and the family was kind; I learned so much, so fast. The university was top-notch, but the family meals were the best lessons. I felt like a part of the family, and the language just flowed naturally. This wasn't just studying; it was living and breathing Chinese. The program made learning fun, and the homestay made it real. I gained confidence in speaking Chinese, and made lifelong friends. The experience was immersive.

Learn Chinese with Homestay at a Top University in China

Staying with a Chinese family while studying at a top university was an experience that reshaped my understanding of both language and culture. Every shared meal, casual chat, and simple daily habit turned into an opportunity to learn. Instead of memorizing phrases from a textbook, I absorbed Mandarin naturally—through laughter at the dinner table, morning greetings, and even trips to the local market. The cultural immersion wasn’t just educational; it felt like finding a second home. My host family embraced me as one of their own, and the friendships I formed will last a lifetime. If you want to master Chinese in a way that feels effortless and deeply personal, this program is the way to go

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments was when I tried to order food at a small restaurant using my beginner Mandarin. I confidently asked for “jī ròu” (chicken), but the waiter looked confused. After repeating myself a few times, he smiled and brought out a giant plate of pig’s feet! Turns out, I had mixed up my tones! My friends couldn’t stop laughing, and I ended up trying a new dish I never would have ordered on purpose.
Pros
  • Learning Mandarin in a university is great
  • You get real-life practice every day
  • It makes learning feel effortless

Let's Learn Chinese

GoAbroadChina’s Learn Chinese with Homestay program felt like stepping into a whole new world. My host family welcomed me with open arms, making me feel right at home while helping me practice Mandarin in everyday conversations. Whether chatting over breakfast or shopping at the local market, I was constantly learning without even realizing it. The university classes were lively and taught by patient instructors who made sure we actually understood the language, not just memorized it. Beyond the classroom, I got to try calligraphy, join tea ceremonies, and experience traditions that made China feel even more special. This wasn’t just about studying—it was about living the language in a way that felt natural and exciting. Unlike typical language courses, where you just sit and listen, this program pulled me into the culture, making everything I learned stick. By the time I left, speaking Mandarin felt second nature, and I had built connections that made China feel like a second home.
