Q: How are you finding your studies in China?
A: I’m very excited about my progress in the Chinese language. Every day I learn many things that I try to use in my daily life. Being understood by Shanghai rén it’s very satisfying.

Q: What program did you enroll in? Has the program been what you expected?
A: I’m following the Standard course (elementary level). The program focuses on communication skills. The teaching method is very good and the students learn very rapidly how to communicate in typical daily situations. This is exactly what I was expecting! In order to learn how to read and write Chinese characters students should enroll for the intensive course. I suggest students considering applying to chose the intensive course. |
