John's Experience

The program was very effective in improving my Chinese skills. As part of the augmentation program, I attended classes at UIR coupled with daily tutoring and excursions from East-West Connection. My tutor was exceptional in providing vocabulary and conversation practice for daily situations and showed me a number of sites in Beijing during the weekend sightseeing excursions. East-West Connection staff has invested much time in reviewing and selecting the best software and methods for learning Mandarin. The program surpassed my expectations and I highly recommend it to English speakers who want to learn Mandarin Chinese quickly and efficiently -- while experiencing Beijing.
