Experience China’s two biggest and most famous cities whilst studying your Chinese course in China. Beijing and Shanghai provide incredible contrasts which must be seen to be believed.
Beijing, the capital shows off its epic history in many formats and the Great Wall of China is the pinnacle for many visitors to this great City. Despite being so popular there are still many wild, untouched areas of the wall and our students enjoy these areas in epic hikes.
Shanghai, although having its own cultured past to shout about, is fast growing and the business hub of the nation. Shanghai’s size and population, although daunting on paper, is something that will keep you busy for as long as you could possible imagine.
It even boasts its own brand new Disney Land, such is the speed of development in Shanghai.
Combine this with Beijing and you have an exciting Mandarin program in China to get stuck into.

Our three Multi City Chinese programs are extensive in coverage and will get your Chinese ahead fast. Our Standard Multi City package includes 20 hours of Chinese study a week. That breaks down to four hours of Chinese classes per day, Monday to Friday. You will also be able to enjoy a one hour lunch break where you can even join our daily lunch club.
The Intensive Multi City Chinese program includes the same as the Standard program plus an additional two hours of classes per day, making 30 hours per week. Your extra two hours are individually tutored which will enhance your Chinese rapidly and you will learn Chinese at a quicker rate. These classes generally take place around 3-3.30pm and finish about 5-5.30pm. You will find the extra two hours of individual class are ideal if you want rapid progression whilst still enjoying group classes.
If you wish to study abroad individually then our Individual Multi City Mandarin program is exactly what you are after. 20 hours of classes every week with just you and your teacher. This is ideal if you want all the focus on you and a tailored program to suit your needs. We can guarantee quick progression and enjoyable classes with our first rate teachers.

Don’t just experience Beijing and Shanghai but the jewel in our China Immersion crown, Chengde.
By now we all know what Beijing and Shanghai have to offer you but Chengde is where your Mandarin language skills will really rocket sky high.
In Chengde you will experience zero foreign contact and you will learn so much about Chinese culture. You will not meet, see of interact with other foreigners during your entire stay in Chengde.
Your time will be spent with your Chinese Homestay Family and your Chinese Teacher, but throw in any new local friends you meet and you will, quite literally, be Living The Language (LTL).
Chengde is a unique experience and it shouldn’t be confused with the popular and much bigger Chengdu. Chengde is based north of Beijing by roughly 3 hours travelling by train.
