Q&A - Questions about Chinese courses and schools in China
- What is the best way to pay in China? Can I use my credit card (Visa) without any problems?“Card payments are not as common, nowadays people connect their cards to Alipay and WeChat pay and make payments with their phone. Alternatively, it is always good to carry cash and make payments that way.
”Mojca Godec, International Student Advisor from LTL Language School - Jun 25, 2024I would like to know how to select schools according to their size. Only size L schools interest me. How can I do it?“We do not have a filter to classify schools by size.
However, you will find the information for each school in their description: when you look at the list of schools, it is right below the school name.”Melanie Besnard, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 22, 2024Is it possible for non-residents to hire a car in China?“You will need to go to the Traffic Police Vehicle Management Office to obtain a temporary driving permit. The whole process takes about 1-2 hours. After that, you can rent a car. ”Amanda, Marketing Manager from That´s Mandarin - Feb 08, 2024I’m interested in studying Chinese language“We have many Chinese language courses and I would be happy to assist you.”Sawsan Zein, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 17, 2023Does the school offer accommodation?“Yes, most of our partner schools offer accommodation.”Sawsan Zein, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 11, 2022FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Chinese courses in China
- I read on the website of the University of China that the HSK certificate is required for admission, which can also be prepared at a language school. What is it?
“The main language of instruction at Chinese universities is Chinese, so you need to prove your language proficiency to apply for a study programme. The HSK is a national standardised test developed by Beijing Language and Culture University for foreigners (non-native speakers) used to assess the level of Chinese language proficiency. The minimum level for admission to the speciality is HSK-3. ”Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 06, 2023Is it possible to study in China in English?“The choice of educational programmes in English in China is limited - it is not an English-speaking country. The official language of instruction in China is Chinese. A number of universities have educational programmes in English, mainly master's and postgraduate programmes, and less common are undergraduate programmes.”Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 06, 2023What are the costs of living in China?“In general, the cost of living in China is lower than in the EU. Minimum expenses range from USD 200-250 per month for an average Chinese city and from USD 250-300 for cities such as Beijing or Shanghai (not including living expenses). Of course, the actual expenses of each student depend entirely on their personal needs.”Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 06, 2023I am looking for summer class for 3-4 years old children.
“Our group Junior programmes actually start from the age of 7 years old. For younger age students, we can look into home tuition programmes. It is an immersion formula where the students study and live at their teacher's place. This is one of the best options to learn a lot in a short period of time. You will be staying with the teacher and his/her family so you get to practice the language all day long, even around the dinner table since full board is included. You choose the number of hours per week you want to have lessons and you sit down together with the teacher and have individual lessons. This gives you the possibility to focus on your interests and weaknesses.”Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - May 30, 2023Do you have any Sichuan Dialect courses?“We have a Chinese-language partner school in Chengdu, which usually teaches Mandarin.
If you want to learn Sichuan dialect, you can book their one-on-one lessons, which can be customized according to your requirements.”Susan Wang, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 15, 2023I am looking for the cheapest school for an English or Chinese language course in Shenzhen“Currently, we do not offer any language school in Shenzhen, however, we have other destinations such as Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao,Hangzhou and Chengdu. ”Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 07, 2023Can I contact you again if I have any questions after the course starts?“Absolutely you can! Please feel free to contact with us for any questions before the end of your course, in case you want to extend the course, adjust the level of your course or postpone your course etc. But you have to tell us your needs in advance.”Susan Wang, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 01, 2022Language School Destinations
