Review

I spent three months in the Mandarin immersion program at Peking University, and the progress I made still astonishes me. I arrived with only knowing "ni hao," and by the end, I was confidently having conversations with my homestay family and navigating the city entirely in Chinese.

The quality of instruction at the university was exceptional. The teachers were engaging and focused on practical, usable language skills. The small class sizes meant everyone got personal attention. Combining the group classes with one-on-one tutoring sessions was the perfect formula for rapid improvement.

The cultural immersion was just as valuable as the classes. My homestay family was incredibly kind and patient, and our nightly dinners were where my Chinese truly came to life. The program activities—like calligraphy workshops and trips to the Great Wall—were fantastic and built a great sense of community among the students.

The all-inclusive aspect made everything seamless. From being picked up at the airport to getting help setting up my phone and transit card, Go Abroad China handled every detail. Their 24/7 support made me feel safe and supported the entire time.

I highly recommend this program to anyone at any level who is serious about learning Mandarin and wants to truly understand Chinese culture. It's more than a language course; it's a life-changing experience. 谢谢, GAC!
