Quickest progress in Chengde

The organisation was smooth and clear. My host family was super earm and welcoming, there was nothing that I would miss while living with them. The classes are held one by one in Chengde so the progress is super quick. The teachers are competent and give their best. Outside of the classes there are many activities to join to further progress in the language as the locals speak almost no english, so mandarin chinese is required. But no worries if you think you will be overwhelmed, they are very warm and welcoming and if you don't understand something you can always use hands and feet to communicate or find another way. I would recommend Chengde to all mandarin learners, it is the best place to practice your mandarin and progress as quickly as possible.
