Testimonials – Mandarin House

Going to China had always been a dream of mine and I'm really happy to have done it with a language study trip. For me, it's the best way of travelling. I already had some basis in Chinese but thanks to the classes, I was really able to speak. Not only in class, but also in the street, in the shops and going out at night! In addition, I was able to benefit from the ESL offer to combine Beijing (2 months) and Shanghai (3 months)...it was really great!

This was my first time in China. I was curious at first and then I fell in love with the language. I wanted to learn an Asian language. Even if the fist two days were quite difficult because of the Chinese and the fact that I don't know Chinese really well. But it went really fine, the staff and the students I met at school are really nice. Now I am very happy with my studies in China. I appreciate the kindness of the staff and the quality of the course. My memorable experiences in China are the visit on the Great Wall and the many various restaurants, seeing people dancing everywhere... I also find interesting the historical places in Beijing and its beautiful parks. My favourite Chinese food is the Beijing duel, sweet and sour pork barbecue. My advices to students who are planning to study in China would be to learn a few Chinese words before arriving. Also, write down the places you want to see and plan it because time goes really fast!
