A Guide to Chinese Language Schools Abroad

Why Learn Chinese Language?

In mainland China, there are over 100 cities with more than a million people, many with Chinese language courses. Taiwan and Hong Kong have options too. If choosing between all these options makes you want to slam your computer shut and just speak English, rest assured, there are resources to help your search. Go abroad has programs to help you find your perfect language school, from more casual, cultural experiences, to intensive Chinese language classes. 

When you learn Chinese abroad, you will inevitably be confronted with one thing—chopsticks (okay, technically two things). If you can’t already use chopsticks, get practicing. Chopstick fluency is more important than Chinese fluency when living in a Chinese-speaking country. While you have Google Translate, awkward hand gestures, and friendly smiles to help you communicate, you’ll starve without chopstick skills!

If you’re ready to start your search for Chinese language schools abroad, check out the options below.

I would recommend LTL to anyone who wants a more friendly and supportive learning environment. The admin, Riona, Alin, and Greta are so friendly and flexible. They do a great job to make everyone feel included and I love the group lunches. My teachers Helen and Wolfgang have also helped me understand cultural context which can be difficult to lean without expert help! Thank you everyone!
