Nicholas 's Experience

The One Month Chinese program at East West Connection far exceeded my expectations about what could be accomplished after only a few weeks of language study.  I came to Beijing only knowing “Nihao” and left being able to order at restaurants, take cabs without writing down names, and engage in simple conversations with Chinese people I met along my travels., The success comes from the unique teaching style that emphasizes sentence pattern structure and grammar.  Vocabulary naturally builds from there.  In addition to the great teaching, East West Connection also offers support with visas, home stay arrangements, and local travel logistics.  This kind of support proved extremely useful as China is not the easiest country to navigate., Overall I would recommend this program to anyone looking to jumpstart their Chinese language studies and start speaking Chinese as quickly as possible.
