Surrounded by limestone mountains and rivers, Yangshuo is a perfect place to get yourself fully immersed in rich Chinese culture and history. This top rated Mandarin Chinese course is for all ages and levels taught by highly qualified teachers incorporating Western teaching methods. In addition to textbooks, videos, audio recordings, and games, you will learn Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture through fun activities such as Taichi, cooking, calligraphy, painting, tea ceremony, and paper cutting art to ensure your learning is accelerated and enjoyable.

A placement test will be given to you, usually via Skype, at your convenience but one week before your arrival. Depending on your goals, you can opt to take three or six 45 minute classes per day. The standard course-load (half day class) consists of three classes either in the morning from 9:25 to 12 noon or from 2 to 4:35pm, leaving you with more time to enjoy Yangshuo and the surrounding countryside. If you chose the intensive course-load (full day class) you will have classes both in the morning and afternoon to accelerate your learning process. You will be placed in a class (2 to 4 people) with other students at a similar proficiency level from anywhere between beginner to proficient (levels 1 to 6).
