Overview

Shanghai is the “New York” of China. There is no place more exciting than Shanghai in China! It's a city for people who love cities - the pace, the intensity, the density, the constant feeling of motion, and the sensory overload. If you like Shanghai, it's because you're attuned to this frenetic vibe that it exudes - the swirl of stores and restaurants and people that collide on every corner you can see. Shanghai is the most chosen destination for language students, a great place not only for learning Chinese but also for exciting city life. To learn Chinese in China, probably there is no better choice than Shanghai.

How do I choose an intensive course?

Your decision entirely depends on your needs and desires. If you want more free time when studying abroad, then General Chinese 20 program allows a light schedule. The General Chinese program is available at all 7 levels to make sure you’re placed exactly where you should be.

If you want to purely focus on Mandarin learning and reach the linguistic maximum in a short time, opt for the General Chinese 30 and get extra practice in the most important communication skills, or take the Individual General Chinese 20 which offers 4 individual lessons per day, another great option.
