I wanted to really learn Chinese, so I lived with a local family while taking classes at a good school. This was one better way to learn fast chinese language. My host family wasvery nice.They talked to me in Chinese all the time, which helped a lot. I got to see how real Chinese families live and celebrate things. The classes were good too, and I learned way faster than I thought I would. It wasn't just about learning words, it felt like I was living a whole new life. Thank you GoAbroadChina.
