From Nervous to Native: My GoAbroadChina Journey

Going to China made me nervous, but GoAbroadChina made it easy. I chose to live with a Chinese family while learning Chinese at a good school. This was great! It saved me money. My host family was very nice, like a new family. I practiced my Chinese with them every day. Living with them let me see real Chinese life. The school classes were good, and the teachers helped a lot. I learned Chinese both in class and at home. My host family answered all my questions about China. Exploring the city with them was fun. GoAbroadChina helped me a lot. Everything was well planned. I made good friends and memories. Living with a family made me feel safe. I tell everyone to try this program if they want to learn Chinese and see China.

Speak, Live, and Learn: My Unforgettable Chinese Homestay Experience (GoAbroadChina)

GoAbroadChina’s Learn Chinese with Homestay at a Top University is the perfect way to learn Mandarin fast. At first, speaking Chinese felt tricky, like a tongue twister, but as days passed, I started to enjoy it. Living with a Chinese host family helped me practice every day, making learning feel more natural. Sometimes, I would mix my mother tongue with Chinese, and my friends would laugh, but it made the experience even more fun. My host family and classmates were so patient and supportive, always encouraging me to speak more. The mix of university classes and real-life conversations helped me gain confidence quickly. Now, I can hold full conversations in Mandarin, and I even catch myself thinking in Chinese sometimes. This program didn’t just teach me a language—it gave me amazing memories, new friendships, and a second home in China.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
A popular snack, especially in Northeast China. These protein-rich larvae have a nutty, earthy taste.
