Dear All,

I would like to take an Immersion class in Chinese, preferably where I am in the mainland so I can get 24 7 Language immersion. I already have some knowledge of Chinese as I took some classes at CUHK. They were good but I think to take it to the next level I need to actually live where only Mandarin is spoken.

Anyone Have any ideas which classes to take or where? If anyone has experience on this issue that would really help me a lot!!

Thanks,

Peak

Learning Chinese Mandarin

I am an American wanting to learn Mandarin but most of the universities here are not very good when it comes to learning Chinese. They are very limited in the area of Chinese. I have been thinking about coming to China to learn Chinese but I do not know what is the best place to learn Chinese.  Does anybody have some names of universities that are good for learning the chinese language?

learning putonghua without taking classes – advice?

I am trying to learn Putonghua in my spare time, and unfortunately I don’t have time to take classes. I want to ask how many of you have also learned (or tried to learn) the language without taking classes? What techniques have you used and what have you found most helpful?

I am currently living in Beijing, and I would optimistically rate my speaking level as low-low-intermediate or upper-beginner. Still, my ability is poor enough that I often find myself falling back on asking, “ni hui shuo yingwen ma?”

I want to kick my language learning to the next level (but still, without classes), so I’m basically asking for advice from those of you who have gone this route.

Thanks!

How to learn Chinese? This is the most important problem for Chinese learner. Though I am not good at English, my Chinese is very good, because I am a Chinese. Then let me answer this question. Or you can search this website; believe you can find the answer quickly.
Just as we know, “Interest is the best teacher”. The reason that a lot of people learn Chinese is interested in Chinese. The interest can be trained. How to train the interest of learning Chinese? How to arouse the enthusiasm of learning Chinese? The following is some my opinions, everybody may discuss.
1. Don’t regard learning Chinese as a hard job.
In fact it is a very interesting thing to learn Chinese, especially learn Chinese characters. Each Chinese character is just like one beautiful picture. Because of Chinese characters are the pictograph, Chinese characters are the abstract descriptions of concrete things. For example the following picture. This picture graphic show the development course of Chinese character “子“. “子” meaning is infant, child and son. Maybe you didn’t know this Chinese character, but I think you will certainly not forget it after seeing this picture. You may read this article and listen to its pronunciation. If you grasp this fast method of learning Chinese, maybe you will think it is so easy and interesting to learn Chinese.
