When you consider that more than out of five people on the planet is Chinese, it makes you understand why it's called "The People's Republic of China". It is colossal too, with a surface area of over ten million square kilometres. Get lost among its maze of valleys, marvel at the Great Wall and the legacy of its successive dynasties, and discover a huge new World. Aside from the massive metropolises of Beijing and Shanghai, with ESL you can discover another side of China, while learning the language. Like the Shadong province, on the east coast, and the seaside city of Qingdao, lodged on the peninsula. The fact that it brews its own beer and hosts an international festival dedicated to the goddess of brewers are not its only merits. Qingdao is a good example of what contemporary China is today, with its continuous processions of cyclists, non-stop activity and rapid modernisation. Mandarin is the most widely spoken language in the world with 1.2 million speakers; and this figure continues to rise. Each year about 40 million people study the language. The Chinese government designated Mandarin as the lingua franca of the entire nation. It was originally the language of the Chinese communities from the Yellow River basin in the north of the country (Huang He). Today more than ever the giant which is China is unveiling itself and opening up to the rest of the world; a multitude of markets that are still unexplored make Mandarin a language of major importance for the world of tomorrow. Taking a (Mandarin) Chinese course in China is the ideal way to improve your Mandarin skills quickly. There is no substitute for learning a language in its native environment and, whether you choose to study in Beijing, Shanghai or any of the other destinations we offer, you can be sure of learning both inside and outside of the classroom.
