Learn Chinese at China's Top University with Homestay

My name is Jean Pirenne. I joined the GoAbroadChina program and participated from the beginning of January to the 19th of February. My experience was very good. My host family was very nice. They mentioned that their screening process is very rigorous, and I believe them because the host family was really good. I can't say anything bad about them, so that was a very good point. I was very satisfied as well with my Chinese lessons. From what I've heard, they enrolled me in one of the most well-known and recommended private Chinese learning schools in Beijing, and it was very, very useful. I learned a lot of Chinese.

I started learning Chinese when I was about 15 or 16 years old, mainly because my dad encouraged me to do it. But I ended up really liking it, so I continued doing it. I think the value lies in several things. Obviously, there's a practical value in helping with your future career. That aside, it's also really fun. It really exercises your brain more than any other language, I think, because of all the visual recognition you have to use and all the characters you have to learn. It's a really rewarding experience, and even though it's hard, if you stick to it and your Chinese slowly improves, it can be very rewarding.

GoAbrodChina has always been very helpful, particularly Zoe. She was always there if I needed anything, answered my questions, and made me feel very welcomed and safe. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend time in China, learn Chinese, or have an internship. I recommend it to anyone.

To begin, with I got in touch with them about a year ago and then GoAbroadChina sent me an accepting email. I was very fortunate to have GoAbroadChina as they helped me sort out my accommodation, my visa as well as a lot of other extra services that I would require. They arranged airport pick-up, my SIM card so I could be able to get internet and communicate with anyone.

GoAbroadChina also helped set up Chinese courses, set up tours for me to explore China. I actually visited Beijing with GoAbroadChina guides and it was an amazing experience.

GoAbroadChina also helped me sort out any issues that I had. I had a few problems visiting the hospital and they made sure that I was able go to the hospital with the translator. I've had an amazing experience with GoAbroadChina and I really really would recommend.

I joined GoAbrodChina Chinese language immersion program in 2023.

The GoAbroadChina Beijing office staff was very helpful in handling all issues of studying abroad. From transfers to and from the airport, enrollment at the University, health insurance and a visa,etc. I feel that this made my stay less stressful than my classmates, who constantly had to deal with these important issues using their beginning Chinese. GoAbroadChina also arranged many social and cultural outings, which truly enhanced my China experience.

I am thankful to all my teachers for their dedicated teaching.

My host family that GoAbroadChina arranged was very kind and helpful in every way. They always offered to help with my homework when I was having difficulty, and every night at dinner our conversations provided me with ideal listening and oral practice, as well as a lesson in Chinese culture. Living with a family also educates you in everything from Chinese culture to common idioms and cooking, etc.

My advice to anyone planning an intensive language course and homestay in China is to coordinate your stay through a program, and GoAbroadChina is the best one to use!

My name is Mark im 24 years from Melbourne Australia. My program was Shanghai Fudan University - one Academic year's language study program.

My experience was fabulous with GAC. I Was so worried and frustrating because I have no idea about China and this is my first international flight, but since I arrived in Shanghai until I finished my program, I didn't fell im international at all.

The staff are extremely friendly and treat me with manners. Sometimes they spend more time trying to help me and give me advice. I would like to say big thank you to Serena, She helps me so much even after the working hours she helped me to secure a job and give me a hand in a huge country like China, I won't be able to survive a day without her.

The company resect all the promises between me and them with high manners.

The homestay was a great idea, I lived with a nice family and I was so satisfied because I didn't fell im different from them, They are nice and so generous to me and they have very high consideration about the young people.

GAC help me as well to get a job for 1 year in another company and they help as well to be an extra reference in the country.
I would definitely recommend Go abroad to China because they are very helpful and very kind and friendly people

My parents really wanted me to take some time off from college, travel and get some wholesome experience before I went into university. While searching through the Internet for the perfect destination and experience package, I came across Go Abroad China. I discussed with them and within a month I was presented an offer. The classes were taught by native teachers who were really fluent in English, which was a great surprise to me. The classes were engaging and we even got to go on trips organized by the university. It was really great to know that the university cared for the well being of its international students. I had a great experience in China and Im grateful to Go Abroad China for their great service.

As a Chinese major I had to travel to China to get experience the China experience and develop my skill more by practicing my Chinese speaking and writing there while learning more about the chinese culture. The program was great for the cultural experiences and the classes helped to compliment my overall experience. I went with the goal of improving my Chinese and that is what I did I gained fluency in Mandarin Chinese and made great friends. Overall, I discovered a city that I would love to revisit in the future. It was definitely worthwhile.

I visited Beijing last summer and studied at ICLCC (Tsinghua University International Chinese Language and Culture Center). Prior to my visit I had no knowledge about mandarin but I was really eager to learn.

In my classes there were a total of 20 students. My subjects were Reading, Speaking, and Listening. I enjoyed the grammar class more as the classes were really beneficial and engaging with weekly dictations, homeworks, and quizzes. Before our classes began we were provided with materials such as textbooks, audio CD, flashcards, chinese songs and slides which were used during our classes.

My only issue was that though most of us were just beginners, the teachers assumed we all had some knowledge about Chinese language and would tend to rush through our lessons. But the text books and ads we received were easy to understand and read which helped a lot.

In conclusion classes were great, I had a great time and i was able to improve my Chinese Language especially during my stay in China.
