Why learn Chinese abroad?

Imagine how fast you’ll pick things up when you find Chinese characters as far as the eye can see, and when you’re practising spoken Chinese every single day. A Chinese course abroad is an incredible opportunity to meet people from around the world and practise your new language skills in an authentic environment.
