II. Chinese Language Schools and Courses in China:

The best way to learn the Chinese language is in China, preferrably in Peking where the official Chinese language, Standard Mandarin or Putonghua, is spoken. Only here you can achieve the best and fastest results because you get into contact with Chinese people and language not only during your language course but virtually all day long. Besides that, you have the opportunity to visit famous places, meet new Chinese friends and buy Chinese stuff.

World-wide there are thousands of language schools offering Chinese language courses. To find the right one in your home town is difficult already. And it´s even more difficult when you are searching for the right school and Chinese course far away in China.




This is the reason we at "CHINA-KONTOR Your Gateway to the Chinese World" recommend:
