The most intensive Chinese course in China there is, it's as simple as that. It is very different and you must be aware if you partake in our Mandarin program in Chengde you genuinely won’t be using any of your first language. This will be a 100% Mandarin spoken trip. Your contact with foreigners will be zero and you will learn Mandarin in China 24/7. The experience, on the other hand, will be a memorable one and our students leaving Chengde can boast much improved Chinese and friends for life in the city. It’s one of our most exciting and adventurous Chinese courses in China. Ultimately, if this is something you are uncomfortable with then this isn’t then Chengde isn’t the city for you. You should consider Beijing or Shanghai instead.
