Jumping right into the deep end!

I have had a great three weeks in Yangshuo learning Chinese. When I arrived on a Saturday night I was tired from the trip and nervous about my time here. I had only emailed Roland and didn’t know anyone. I had been in China less than a week. But everyone with the school had been so friendly and my teachers have been great. In fact, I call them my friends. So I will always remember the beautiful scenery around Yangshuo and all my friends in the language school.

So… here we go!!

A recommendation to everyone!

I turned up in Yangshuo and fell in love with the place within two days, both as a stunning place to live and also a great environment to learn Chinese. It was a big change from the stuffy, expensive and mass produced group lessons that I had experienced in Shanghai. I ended up spending nine months there. In Susan, i found a dedicated teacher with excellent English skills and a very impressive way of explaining difficult parts of the language in simple terms. Outside the classroom, the opportunity to practice are numerous, with plenty of Chinese students willing to chat with you, and making an effort around the town will also see you rewarded with friendly locals willing to help. I had a great time at Mandacentre and in Yangshuo, made good friends, and would recommend the school to anyone wanting to get out of the big cities and actually enjoy learning.
