My review

My daughter, who is 13 years old, enrolled in an elementary Chinese language course with Global Village Language School, Beijing, China. While the course was very advantegous in financial terms, course quality was superb. In the course, a relatively small group (5-10 people, most of them in their 20's) could enjoy, and profit of, the enthusiastic teaching of a lady teacher, who was keen on teaching pronunciation, vocab, structure, and, last but not least, the Chinese characters. She also always found extra time to deal with my daughter and whoever else among the students was ready to dedicate extra effort to her or his Chinese studies. The language school also organized - and that, on a regular basis - in-class and in-city cultural activities like cooking Chinese food, city walks, etc., in this way successfully building a community out of an originally haphazard group of students. The front desk staff is really caring; and the bottom line is that if we can come to Beijing again, we would definitely choose the same language school. Most sincerely recommended!
