Summer Study Abroad Programs in China

Enrolling in the GAC Chinese Language Immersion Program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I studied Mandarin in Beijing and lived with a local host family, which gave me full exposure to the language and daily life in China. It wasn’t just classroom learning—I practiced Chinese every day at home, in shops, and during cultural activities. The program was well-organized and supportive from start to finish. GAC’s staff were always available to help, and the weekly language exchange events were both fun and valuable. My Chinese improved dramatically in just a few months, and I left China with a deep appreciation for its culture and people. This program doesn’t just teach you a language—it transforms how you see the world. Highly recommended for anyone serious about cultural immersion and learning Mandarin in a meaningful way.

Enrolling in the Chinese language program at Beijing Language and Culture University was one of the best academic choices I’ve ever made. The campus is full of international students, which made it easy to connect with people from all over the world while staying focused on learning Mandarin. The teachers were incredibly professional and patient, and the course materials were well-organized. I appreciated how much the classes emphasized speaking and listening—exactly what I needed to build real-world confidence in Chinese. Plus, being in Beijing gave me daily chances to use the language outside the classroom, from ordering street food to chatting with locals. The cultural workshops, weekend trips, and optional homestay made the experience even richer. I left with stronger language skills, lifelong friendships, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommended for serious language learners who also want an exciting cultural adventure.
