Wonderful expeience of Chinese

I just came to China this September and have always loved Chinese culture, so I enrolled in Global Village School in Wudaokou campus.

Now I'm taking the Basic Chinese course and I'm getting a lot out of it. The course starts with Pinyin and simple Chinese characters, and the teacher helps me to memorize the complicated strokes in many interesting ways, such as by playing a game of Chinese character cards. I used to think that Chinese characters were like complicated paintings and I couldn't learn them at all, but now I can recognize hundreds of commonly used characters and I can write simple sentences, so my progress is very obvious.

I also participated in a dumpling-making culture class organized by the organization, which was so much fun! Although the dumplings I made were very strange in shape, we all had a great time making dumplings and communicating with each other at the same time. Not only did I learn how to make dumplings, but I also gained a deeper understanding of Chinese food culture.

This school has a comfortable environment and a great learning atmosphere.
