You ask, why study in China?Wouldn't a
better question be, why would some one wanting
to learn a foreign language not study where that
is language is the native spoken language?
Someone in another country wants to learn
English. They ask an English teacher; what
is the best and fastest way to learn English?
The English teacher replies, go to an English
speaking country and "immerse" yourself in the
language.
This is even more true with the Chinese
language. You see, Chinese is not just a
language you learn, it's an experience.
Learning Chinese is not just a language, it's a
culture, its filled with customs and traditions.
Those are things you can not learn from a
CD-ROM, any books, or even in a formal classroom
at the best university. You need to
immerse yourself into the country where everyone
speaks Chinese and will help you "live" the
culture.
You have many options when it comes to
learning Chinese in China. There are the
obvious cities like Beijing and Shanghai, and
naturally those cities will give you a great
learning experience. But, we feel those
and some other cities around China are a little
too big! Also, they really are too fast
paced to present you with a good learning
experience. This is why we established the
Huayi School in Qingdao, China. True,
Qingdao is a city of approximately eight million
people, but it does not have the fast pace and
all the hustle and bustle of other cities of
this size. The people are very pleasant
and are almost always happy to engage in
conversations with foreigners. In fact,
the average person in Qingdao will be impressed
that you are learning their language and will
help you.
