About
Chinese-in-China was founded by several Dalian based expats in close collaboration with Chinese colleagues. They realised that as a study location for standard Mandarin, Dalian must surely be one of China's best cities. A dynamic modern city, Dalian has linguistic, cultural and social opportunities to offer at a price well below the more expensive cities of Beijing and Shanghai. With offices in China, the UK and Germany and in partnership with two of the best universities in northern China, our aim is to give students a range of opportunities to rapidly acquire or improve their Chinese proficiency and enable them to make the most of this dynamic coastal city.
Quality teaching and course provision.
All our experienced teachers have a Bachelors Degree in Chinese Language and most have a relevant Masters. In our Chinese-in-China Academy and our partner universities, you will get a minimum of 20 lessons per week and four or five highly experienced Chinese teachers to guide you over the semester. Dalian University of Technology is Dalian's premier university and ranked 17th in China (1) . It has several hundred Chinese language students each semester and excellent study and sporting facilities on campus. Dalian Maritime University,also very highly ranked and located adjacent to the technology university, runs a smaller, very successful Chinese language program (usually 60-80 students). Here, class size is limited to a maximum of 12 students for all Chinese-in-China students.
All course providers offer weekly HSK training in intermediate (levels 5-6) or advanced (levels 7-8) classes. Tai Chi, Wushu and Calligraphy classes are also available at both for a small fee.
Whichever study centre you choose you will be helped through the application and visa process by Chinese-in-China. We will also send you a pre-arrival package in either English, French or German, provide a 2-day orientation on arrival, arrange weekly social/cultural activities and monthly excursions to other cities. We can organise accommodation before you come and if you are looking for 'intensive' study will also arrange extra language tutoring with either a Chinese language postgraduate or university teacher.
