Incredible experience at CLI
May 18, 2020by: Bryan WilhelmI was truly impressed by how well organized the entire experience at CLI was. Airport pick up, welcome dinner, orientation, my Chinese classes, cultural activities, new friends, and on and on. I had an incredible experience and highly recommend CLI.
Fantastic experience!!
May 15, 2020by: Liberty HardyI extremely enjoyed my experience at CLI. All of the teachers are so friendly yet so professional. I learnt so much whilst studying there and felt my Chinese improved considerably. I really enjoyed the weekly and weekend activities I especially enjoyed going to Yangshuo. The lunchtime meals were delicious and there were many dishes to choose from. I would recommend CLI it to anyone who truly wants to immerse themselves in the Chinese language and culture.
I never seen and learned do much in a short time
February 05, 2019by: Shonn SurberIt is very fast paced without making you feel overcome. I was able to learn more Chinese in a month then I did in two semesters of college Chinese. I saw so many beautiful and historical sights. The food was always great and I never got sick. I did not hear any complaints from anybody, while I was there.
