Two weeks intensive course

The curriculum was valuable, and I truly enjoyed my time here. Having already lived in China for six years, I wasn’t new to the language environment, but even just two weeks of study here provided a lot of value. Most of my lessons were with one teacher, whose engaging approach made learning both challenging and enjoyable. Their pace was excellent, and they allowed plenty of room to explore ideas and concepts in depth. I also had the opportunity to take one class with another teacher, who offered a slightly different teaching style and activity selection, which was an interesting change of pace. Both were very accommodating and open to any preferences I had.

The teaching pace overall was great—more time was spent on challenging areas while easier or familiar topics were reviewed efficiently. This balance kept each lesson productive and engaging.

One of the best aspects of the program was the option to have lessons outside the classroom. Visiting places like museums or other local attractions provided a great opportunity to practice language skills “in the wild.” It made learning feel more authentic and interactive, helping to connect what we studied in class with real-life situations.

The location is fantastic, within walking distance of downtown and close to everything you might need. There are also plenty of options for day trips, whether by a short train ride or exploring nearby attractions.

The staff really put effort into making students feel comfortable and supported, which made the whole experience even better.
