Learn Chinese in Beijing
Chinese Immersion in China
School Type: First Choice (click for info)
Learning Chinese abroad in Beijing, China is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. China is more than a country – it is a whole different world, from shop-till-you-drop metropolises to the epic grasslands of Inner Mongolia, with deserts, sacred peaks, astounding caves, and imperial ruins in between. Along with the stark contrasts comes stark beauty; there is plenty to see if you can wade through the crowds.
Learn Chinese Language in China:
An ancient capital of six dynasties, Beijing is one of the most famous historical and cultural cities in the world. Temples, parks, and historic sites all sing wonderfully and powerfully of the dream that was Old Cathay, but in the same hallowed space there's a new Beijing taking shape. Just outside the exquisite walls of Beijing's monuments, steel and concrete are steadily replacing silk and carved wood.
School Facilities:
The main school building is located in the Chaoyang district and is several minutes walking distance to the subway. There is a lounge where students can relax after class. Free Internet access is available. Students also receive free coffee and tea daily.
Participants:
Mostly from Europe and the US. Average age 35.
