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 20 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.
