Great teachers

Cliché: the Great Wall

Small groups & great teachers. Very good experience, but 2 weeks is nothing. I'll have to go back next year. Host family was very nice for me, but if I go back for a langer time, I would prefer a dorm.

very flexible scheduling

My problem was that I already knew quite a few words but could not use them. the private conversation lessons with the excellent teachers really made a huge improvement to my chinese.

Social events

Join many social activities.

Staff, teachers are friendly.

That the school administrator listened to my needs and suggestions.

Dare to explore, but be aware that one block on the maps is at least a 15 minute walk.

kompetentes und freundliches Lehrpersonal

reasonable course book, some teachers enthusiastic, very good value for money.

The school is very welcoming,Good atmostphere and relation both among teachers and students and classmates.

Pour les francophones comme moi, il faut leur préciser que tout est en chinois ou en anglais. Ou bien il faut un professeur qui parle le français.

Je suis contente car j'ai fait des progrès mais pour les gens de mon âge, c'est difficile. Les cours privés sont une bonne solution. On peut aller à son propre rythme.

cheap school fees

Teachers are very friendly and proffesional

teaching, students and general atmosphere

don't worry if you don't know the language, in a week time you'll be already able to speak something and be undestood!

Very nice people, they really take care of you. If you have any problem, just ask them!

teachers are very helpful.

It's a very good school to improve your chinese language and to understand chinese culture. Staff are very nice and helpful. School is well-organised. It is located in a beautiful building.

The people were so friendly and great teaching

The beer garden

Very good, upbeat and nice communal computer area

Nice people

The teachers

Global Exchange Center in Beijing is a great school for those who are interested in learning Chinese. The teachers are all very interesting and bright and are for the most part excellent teachers. The classes are small and the materials and resources available for class are effective. I would definitely recommend this school for anyone traveling to Beijing and will myself return in the future.

buy yourself a bicycle

The food at the canteen is not really good. Try to find a other place for lunch

small classes, not every day the same teacher

The teacher are very friendly and young. They always help you.

They help you with any kind of problem and all the staff is nice and friendly

How much you learn really depends on how much effort you put into your learning

Great Location and Capable Staff

This was my fifth Attendance by Global Exchange Education Center, Beijing, China

teacher's irony

to study after the course

it was a good experiece

helpful staff, good lessons

My classmates

El buen nivel de algunas profesoras

muy buena opción el Dorm

Lessons in small groups and very flexible, if you want to change the schedule

Try to find an own accomodation where chineses students live as well

This school focus more on speaking and accepts an "easy" way of studying. If you search for a serious fast way where you are forced to do a lot of studying, pick a different school.

possibility to have private lessons instead of group course

The flexibility of the teachers. Some of them were very patient and helpful.

Try to speak Chinese most of the time you can, speaking English with other students doesn't help much!

Some of the teachers are very efficient and do the best they can to help. If they had a library..., it would really helps the students!

All teachers used same methodology. Hence exposure to different speakers without hickups in course

All staff extremely helpful and friendly. Very prepared to customize course to requirements of trainees

The teachers

Try to have as few teachers as possible

Very flexible and helpful. I only had private lessons but still had a good time with other studenst. Well organized and you can study at your own level and speed.

As I was in China it was not high season so we were only 2 students in the first week and 3 students in the second week.

Send the "Welcome information" to the students in advance.

I have the impression that the school stresses more teaching the spoken language and if anything was written than in 90% of cases in Pin-Yin. I wanted to learn also Chinese characters. In total I was satisfied and think I was tought by good teachers.

the teacher's qualification and the good atmosphere

The opportunity to meet different people, the really high quality of the teachers, and the fact that the teachers changed each 2 hours.

Don't forget to bring with you the map the school will give you.

I found Michael really helpful and committed in all his effort (even when when I got lost in the night and I had to call him). The location of the school is quite close to other schools-university and all the information received the first days helped me to socialize and get around in Beijing. I would only suggest the school to make a kind of selection about levels. I think there should be an "entrance-test" to understand each student level, and then group students in class based on their level.
