USAC China: Chengdu-Chinese Language and Culture Studies

 Ancient, culturally rich, and picturesque, Chengdu is the perfect destination for anyone hoping to immerse in China’s heritage and natural beauty. While the capital of Sichuan province boasts of these aspects, it is also known as Southwest China’s center of scientific research and higher education. Take advantage of these and more through the Chengdu program of USAC. This program involves learning Mandarin Chinese, which is fast becoming a widely spoken language in the global marketplace. Choosing to focus on intensive language study means taking one or two elective courses as well. These include Chinese culture and history, and Tai Chi. This path follows an intensive approach, allowing you to complete up to a year and a half of language coursework in one semester. *Due to the global health status worldwide, USAC is making programmatic changes to summer, fall, and yearlong programs, and some options might not be available. These changes are posted on individual program pages on the USAC website.*

Au Pair in China – Cultural Exchange & Mandarin Learning

Discover China while living with a local family through our Au Pair Cultural Exchange Program. This program offers young people the opportunity to experience authentic Chinese life, improve cross-cultural communication skills, and create meaningful connections with host families. As an au pair, your main responsibility is to provide an English-speaking environment for the children through games, storytelling, and fun educational activities. The role focuses on cultural exchange and interaction rather than traditional childcare, and au pairs are not required to do household chores. Most of our host families are located in Chengdu, a vibrant and welcoming city known for its rich culture, incredible cuisine, relaxed lifestyle, and the world-famous giant pandas. Au pairs live with their host family, have a private room, and become part of everyday family life. The program includes Mandarin language courses, visa support, airport pick-up, monthly cultural activities, and 24-hour local support. With free time each week to explore the city and travel around China, this experience allows you to grow personally while discovering one of the most fascinating cultures in the world.

Program: Au Pair in China – Cultural Exchange & Mandarin Learning

10

I was an Au Pair in Chengdu for a year with Masons Au Pair Agency. The matching process was fast and easy, and they helped me a lot with settling in. They taught me how to use Chinese apps, the subway, how to pay for meals, and how to order food. Every time I needed help, whether with the host family or visiting a doctor, they were always ready to support me. The host family they matched me with was nice too, I didn't need to cook or clean and we traveled a lot inside of China. I really enjoyed my experience with this agency.
