Came home with proper Chinese
February 26, 2026by: Wei Zhang - SingaporeProgram: High School Language & Cultural Immersion in China for Teens
when your mother's language is Mandarin and your father's language is English you get confused of which one to learn and speak in your life. I joined the high school program of Go Abroad China to improve my Chinese language skills and feel it. the experience was pretty smooth from application to visa and host family. definitely recommended if you want to re-gain your Chinese skills
Beijing's experience
January 23, 2026by: Chloe Bennett - United StatesProgram: High School Language & Cultural Immersion in China for Teens
summer in Beijing with GAC's high school program was unforgettable. As a 16-year-old traveling alone, I felt incredibly safe and supported by the friendly coordinators. My host family was wonderful, patiently helping me practice Mandarin every day. We had engaging language classes in the morning and spent afternoons exploring iconic sites like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City with new friends from around the world. I returned home not only with better Chinese but with more independence, confidence, and lifelong memories
Hi Chloe, We're so happy to hear your summer in Beijing was unforgettable and gave you such wonderful confidence and independence! It's fantastic that you felt safe and supported while enjoying language classes, your host family, and exploring with new friends. Thank you for sharing your lifelong memories! Warmly, The Go Abroad China Team
