  • Description

    Konall Culture Exchange is a comprehensive Mandarin training institute committed to delivering intensive and affordable 1-to-1 language programs that cater to serious students of the Chinese language in an academically minded setting. We offer a full range of courses in a true immersion environment that is geared towards fast, efficient learning of the Chinese language and are currently the ONLY language training institute in China that EXCLUSIVELY offers one to one instruction. With over 6 years experience providing intensive, custom tailored Mandarin immersion programs to students from all over the world, you can be assured of receiving the highest possible level of Mandarin instruction in an outstanding learning environment.

    Mandarin pronunciation and tones can be very intimidating to both the beginner and advanced student alike. The precision required to speak intelligible Mandarin can take years in standard classroom environment where the instructor only has so much time to correct each students pronunciation and tones. At KCE, we provide an alternative. By receiving individual 1-to-1 instruction, you are assured that you will get the attention you need to develop a strong foundation in proper pronunciation and tones, and at the same time build a solid base in reading and writing Chinese characters.

    Our full-time, certified instructors provide each student with an individually tailored curriculum that specifically addresses your own personal study goals for learning Chinese. Class content can be focused on a specific aspect of Mandarin, with many students choosing to spend the majority of their class time improving listening and speaking skills. Due to the unique and flexible nature of our 1-to-1 programs, you are free to choose your own start date and program duration. You may begin your course at any date and stay for as long as you like. You are also free to adjust your program details at any time.

    For accommodation both Chinese home-stay and private apartments are available. Living with a Chinese host family is a fantastic way to really immerse oneself in the Chinese language and culture. Participating students quickly become one of the family and it is not uncommon for students to form lasting friendships with their host family members. KCE private apartments are within walking distance of the school facility and come fully furnished with broadband internet, cable TV, bed and linen, washing machine, water cooler, kitchen utensils and study desk.

    KCE strives to be different to other language schools in China. We keep our locations small and our academics intense to ensure a true immersion environment. We attract students that are serious about learning good standard Mandarin Chinese and we encourage each individual to push themselves to learn as much as possible. Over one quarter of our students are attending or have graduated from top 10 ranked schools in the US and EU, and many of our graduates have gone on to start their own businesses in China.

    If you are serious about learning Mandarin Chinese in a true immersion environment away from the big cities, aren't afraid of a challenge and would like to be a part of the most intense and friendly language school in China, please take a few minutes to visit our website and fill out an online application today. We'd love to design a custom program for you that meets your goals for studying in China for any start date, accommodation package, or length of stay.

    Thanks for your interest and we are looking forward to meeting you in China!
