We offer 2 options of Chinese Langue lessons: Lessons with a one-on-one teacher, which is the option that is available at many locations in China and more flexible time-wise and therefore more suitable if you want to learn Chinese simultanously with doing an internship, and small group lessons at a language school in Beijing. With 50 language teachers and 30 classrooms at three locations, it is Beijing's largest private language school.

One-on-one teacher:
We can book a professional language teacher for you, giving you one-to-one classes. There is total flexibility in terms of the weekly number of hours, and about the times of the lessons.
The costs are approximately 120 RMB (depending on the city and teacher) for a 2 hours' session, which will be done either at a public location (e.g. a café) or at your accommodation.
This option is only available of our internship program or other programs in China. You can book this option if you are planning to come to China just to learn Chinese, or in combination with your internship or Working Holiday in China. The language school can arrange a visa for any duration.
Language school - small group lessons:
The Chinese lessons take place at a prestigious language school in Beijing, which was established in 2005. With 50 language teachers and 30 classrooms at three sites, it is Beijing's largest private language school. There are group classes for all levels, as well as classes for Business Chinese and HSK preparation. The school also organizes cultural activities at no additional cost. The use of a gym and indoor swimming pool are included in the rates!
The group size is a maximum of 6 people, who have similar level of knowledge. An effective and fast learning progress is therefore guaranteed!
If you already have Chinese language skills, you can start the course every Monday and join a group with comparable level of knowledge. For beginners, the start date is every first Monday of the month.
After about 2 months, as a beginner, you have basic communication skills.
You can select from 20 or 30 lessons per week intensity. Each lesson is 45 minutes long.
In the case of 20 lessons of teaching intensity, lessons are Mondays to Fridays from 9.00 a.m. - 12.00 p.m. In the case of 30 hours intensity, there are also lessons from 2.00 p.m. - 3.35 p.m. In the mornings, the focus is on listening, reading, writing and speaking; afternoons are dedicated to intense listening skills.
With 20 lessons intensity, there are group lessons specifically for "Business Chinese" and with 30 hours, preparatory group lessons for the HSK test (Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì;汉语 水平 考试), which is required in order to study at a Chinese university.
In addition to the language lesson, once a week in the afternoons, at a small additional cost, there is a cultural activity or lecture, such as about Chinese history, about the current economy in China, Chinese humor, calligraphy, paper making and Taichi. The school organises trips and visits for the students - e.g. to art exhibitions.
Students can also use a modern and well-equipped gym and indoor pool at no additional cost.
The school has 3 locations in Beijing - Sanlitun, Maizidian and the Olympic Village; you can choose one closest to your accommodation.
Short-time participation of the course is possible on a tourist visa that you would have to arrange on your own (we will assist). If you book lessons for 3 months or longer, as a nationally recognized educational institution, the school can also organize an X2 student visa for you (the application cost is 650 RMB).
About 80% of students are from Europe, America and Australia/New Zealand and 20% from other Asian countries and Africa. The school educates embassy staff of many countries on behalf of the Chinese government. It also trains for Chinese language teachers.

Beijing has over 20 million inhabitants, is one of the largest cities in the world and the capital of the People's Republic of China.
The city is incredibly dynamic and full of young life and momentum. Many innovative companies and start-ups (both Chinese and foreign) are setting up shop in Beijing. Young people from all over China, at the age of 20 to mid 30's, move to Beijing in search of professional success. In addition, there is a significant number of young people from Eastern and Western Europe, North America and Africa, trying their luck here, either in business or simply spending some time in Beijing.
The nightlife is amazing here, especially during the warmer months: every night, the streets, restaurants, bars and clubs are full of people until the wee hours of the morning. The cost of such nightlife is relatively low. On the streets, you can listen to street musicians, dance publicly, sing karaoke and eat and drink – you will hardly see signs of a communist dictatorship. There are plenty of ultra-modern shopping malls and hip restaurants to which the guests pile in. Beijing is in the midst of an economic miracle and for Beijingers, this means consumption and fun.
Thanks to the Olympic Games of 2008, the city received a modern public transport system that is very inexpensive to use, as well as attractive and well-maintained parks and squares.
Since the 11th century BC, Beijing has been one of the most important cultural centers of the world and full of palaces, temples and historical art treasures with which no other city in the world can compete. The Great Wall, which is visible even from the moon, passes north of the city.
Getting To China
All major cities in China, as well as the holiday islands of Hainan and Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia), have international airports and you fly directly into the city of your project. There, you will be picked up from the airport.
