XIAN CHINA - CHINESE IMMERSION

Class Schedule
Language courses for beginners start once a month, intermediate and advanced can start each Monday.

At the beginning of each course, we submit all participants to a classification test. So we promise everyone as much as we can that every student begins at the level, which corresponds to his / her standard of knowledge. In order to obtain a rapid and an examinable learning progress, we link current material with modern text books, dynamically, respectably and in the context of a modern methodical-didactical structure of course.

Our courses prepare you for the Chinese Proficiency Test (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi = HSK). This standardized language ability test was developed in Peking, can be passed in Xi'an and is internationally recognized. All class participants receive a qualified conclusion certificate at the end of the course.

Typical Schedule
> 9:00-10:30 Lessons
> 10:30-11:00 Break
> 11:00-12:30 Lessons
> 12:15-13:00 Lunch time
> 13:30-14:15 Lessons

Activities & Excursions
Every week there are planned excursions to different tourist attractions and cultural places of interest around the area. For each excursion there is a tour guide who gives a thorough explanation of the site and a presentation to the students. Teachers give students an introduction to the site they will be visiting before the trip.

On each weekend half or all day trips are intended, for example to the famous Terracotta-army or to the close seated mountains. Furthermore, film demonstrations, city tours, attendances of exhibitions, sport activities such as ice-skating, Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and swimming, as well as special cultural courses like Chinese cooking and a regular’s school table are part of the program.

Booking this vacation is easy and we accept most major credit cards. We require a deposit of $300 and a completed booking form. After checking availability we normally confirm a booking within 24 hours.
