Learning Chinese through GAC’s

Learning Chinese through GAC’s homestay program was the most authentic way to understand the culture. I lived with a local family in Xi’an who welcomed me warmly and encouraged me to practice Mandarin daily. My language classes at a partner university were engaging, but the real learning happened at home—sharing meals, joining local events, and living like a true local. It was a perfect blend of academics and cultural experience. Real Immersion with Language & Culture GAC is recommended for a wonderful experience.
