What past students say:

"I started the program not speaking a word of Mandarin. After finishing the 6-week course I had the conversational skills to travel China alone for two and half weeks, getting around everywhere and making lots of Chinese friends on the train. I was amazed by how much we learned. I also recommend staying in the 6-8 bunk 'dorm rooms' at the youth hostel with all the Chinese students in Beijing for the summer. It's a true immersion experience."
-Colin Thorne, Summer Immersion program student, USA

"I've been working in China for 1.5 years. Though I was only able to devote one summer to learning Chinese, enrolling in 1on1 Mandarin's summer immersion program gave me enough basic survival Chinese to live off of up to now. I'm very thankful to 1on1 and my teachers--I could tell that they cared for the quality of the Chinese I learned."
