I joind the GAC Chinese immersion program in Beijing and it was absolutly amazeing! The classes were small and the teachers were super nice and helpful, I really feel like my Mandarin improved so fast. I stayed with a host family and they made me feel like part of the family, we cooked together and they even took me to local places tourists dont normaly see. The cultural activitees were so fun and I met friends from all over the world. Sometimes the homework was a lot but it was worth it. I would totally recomend this program to anyone who wants to learn Chinese and have a great time!

GAC Chinese Language Immersion is the best of all

This program was everything I hoped for. The Chinese classes were structured but fun, and I felt my confidence grow every day. What I loved most was practicing outside of the classroom — from ordering food to chatting with locals. The cultural workshops like calligraphy and dumpling-making added so much value. By the end, I felt like I had truly lived and breathed China.

Dear Emma, We're thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the immersion program! It’s wonderful that you embraced every opportunity to practice—from classroom lessons to local markets—and that you left feeling truly connected to the language and culture. We wish you continued success as you carry this confidence and global perspective into your next adventures! —GAC Team P.S. We hope your dumpling-making skills are still impressing friends and family!
