My experience in Chinese language university

This program was one of the best decisions I’ve made! Studying Mandarin at a top Chinese university gave me access to high-quality language instruction, and the homestay experience truly accelerated my learning. Living with a local family helped me practice Chinese every day and understand the culture in a personal and authentic way.

Go Abroad China’s support was excellent—from application to arrival. The mix of formal education and immersive living made this program both effective and unforgettable. I not only improved my language skills but also gained lifelong memories and friendships.

Highly recommended for anyone serious about learning Chinese!

Building Skills and Confidence by Go Abroad China

Learning Chinese through Go Abroad China’s language program was a life-changing experience. The classes were small and fun, and the teachers were very patient and helpful. I stayed with a local Chinese family who helped me practice speaking Mandarin most of the time. We also joined fun cultural lessons like cooking, etc.. I felt safe, supported, and happy during my stay, and I left China with stronger language skills and unforgettable memories. This program is really great internship at the sametimes learning new language. I will comeback again to China and choose again go abroad china program.

Let's Learn Chinese

If you want to learn Chinese, this program is for YOU—no matter where you're from.

I always dreamed of learning Chinese in China, and this program made it amazing. The teachers spoke clearly and made lessons easy to follow. Every day, we practiced listening, speaking, reading, and writing. After class, friendly tutors helped us with our homework.

There were also fun group activities like karaoke nights and museum trips. I made friends from all over the world, and the weekly language exchange with locals really boosted my speaking skills. In just a few weeks, my Chinese got so much better. The campus was clean, safe, and a great place to study. If you love languages or just want a new adventure, I can recommend this program. It works for everyone.

My Second Language Mandarin

I joined this program to improve my Mandarin and it helped a lot. Living with a local family was new for me, but they were very kind and welcoming. Every day, I practiced Chinese with them, even when eating or watching TV. The university classes were clear, and the teachers really cared. I liked how the lessons matched daily life topics. We also had fun cultural trips like visiting temples and learning to cook dumplings. My favorite part was language exchange with local students. It helped me make friends and talk better. I felt safe and supported the whole time. Now I can speak Chinese much more confidently.

My Homestay of GoAbroadChina

My experience learning Chinese with GoAbroadChina was exceptional. The homestay felt like a warm hug, not just a place to sleep, and the university classes made Chinese click. Living with a local family showed me real Chinese life, beyond any textbook. The professors were patient, and the family was kind; I learned so much, so fast. The university was top-notch, but the family meals were the best lessons. I felt like a part of the family, and the language just flowed naturally. This wasn't just studying; it was living and breathing Chinese. The program made learning fun, and the homestay made it real. I gained confidence in speaking Chinese, and made lifelong friends. The experience was immersive.
