– Full exposure to Mandarin
– Higher quality accommodation

If I want, can I stay with my friend at the same homestay?
We can arrange this for you yes.
Communicate with us and we try to arrange this. We do advise that one student per homestay is the best way to take advantage of this language learning opportunity though.
Do I have to eat with my Homestay every day?
No but be aware your family will assume you will be at home for these meals, so make sure to communicate with them beforehand so they know the situation if you’re not going to be home.
How do I overcome the language barrier?
Talk, talk, talk. Practice, practice, practice.
These tricky situations are what will define your progression in Mandarin. Avoid them, and you are avoiding living the language.
