Shanghai is a popular student destination thanks to the city’s excellent education system, ultramodern infrastructure, lively culture, and affordable living costs. This programme represents the opportunity to live with your host teacher and their family, where you will receive 15 hours of private classes every week, as well as three meals per day.
When it comes to practising your Chinese skills in real-life situations, you will be able to speak with your host family whenever and wherever you have the chance, and you’ll also put your skills to use when you explore Shanghai in your free time. Chinese-speakers make up the majority of the population in Shanghai, so in many cases you will be forced to immerse yourself -which can only be a positive aspect for your improvement.
You will be put in contact with what the school calls their Local Organiser, which is a nearby agent whose job is to resolve any and all issues you might have during your stay.

This programme consists of private lessons tailored to your needs and interests, accommodation in a private bedroom (Sunday to Sunday) and 3 meals per day with the host family.
You can customise your stay by booking additional lessons, activities, and courses for specific purposes, paying an additional fee to have a private bathroom, as well as airport transfer services.
One of the main advantages of living with your teacher is that you will be able to continue practising Chinese even after your classes are over, which is usually a weakness of more traditional modes of learning. Nanjing has a lot to explore, in particular for foodies and history buffs, who will find an endless variety of restaurants and eateries to enjoy, as well as fascinating museums such as the Memorial Hall.
As with all Study & Live in your Teacher's Home homestay programmes, you will be in contact with a Local Organiser, with whom you can communicate any concerns or issues that may arise during your stay.

The best way to book your language course!
The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.
You're just great, doing a fantastic job. I'll be back in a couple of weeks and be booking my next stay abroad with you again (as always).
I was really surprised with your assistance to me, the service was amazing, following me on every step, thank you!
The service received has been fantastic. All doubts and issues were solved quickly and effectively. An exceptional service.
Your service was excellent . You helped me to choose exactly the right course for me .
I had excellent support with the school choice and booking. I was grateful knowing that if a problem arose, I had someone to liaise with the school and sort it out. Many thanks
Your service was excellent, really following up and holding my hand.! My older step-brother used your service a few years ago to study Spanish in Salamanca and Granada and we found LanguageCourse.Net so helpful then as well.
I genuinely rate the enrolment service five stars as it exceeded my expectations - everything that was booked worked out flawlessly, and queries were responded to with minimal delay. Ana Carolina was great - thanks!
Everything was perfect. Fast and efficient help. Kindness and support from start to finish. Thanks a lot!
Excellent support. In particular, Ana Carolina is amazing and goes out of her way to help. I have called upon Ana in the past and will do so in the future. I am genuinely grateful. Thank you Ana!
Sabine was FANTASTIC! Very complete communication all along the process!
Ana Carolina dos Santos was amazing. Always kind and available, she solved all my doubts.
Sawsan was amazing throughout the booking process. Was extremely helpful and attentive and professional.
Just keep up the good work. The organization is excellent, so that even less experienced travellers would feel ok to come to China. I also felt really good in the host family, they were really great!
