Highlights

Why Changchun and Beijing?

There are 292 different languages or dialects in China although the standard spoken language in China is called Putonghua, meaning common language. China has over 1.3 billion people, but only 53% speak standard language of Mandarin. Different provinces have not only have distinctly different accent, they also have their own conflicting languages. But when you study at Northeast Normal University in Changchun, you won't have any problems taking what you have learned in class and using it outside.

Eagle Abroad and Northeast Normal University developed early in 2011. Although the partnership is fairly new, Northeast Normal University is certainly not.
