What are the benefits to studying abroad in China with PRC Study? Your Chinese will improve so much more when you live in a country that speaks Mandarin Chinese, standard Putonghua. But there are many more reasons! Hear what real students have to say:

A 24-hour Classroom

"The best way to learn a language is to live it. My ability to learn Putonghua (Mandarin Chinese language) in my country was limited, therefore I chose to study in an Chinese-speaking country. Now that I have completed the course, and with my improved Chinese skills, I plan to open up my own Mandarin Language School when I return to my country."

Marian Ko, Malaysia

Total Immersion

"I always thought that the best way to learn Putonghua (Mandarin Chinese language) is to immerse in a Chinese society and mix with the locals. My Mandarin Chinese has improved incredibly since I have been in Beijing. I am thankful to all my teachers for their dedicated teaching. I'm also happy to have met so many new Chinese friends who have helped me to better understand Chinese culture and Chinese way of life. This is one of the best things that studying abroad can offer you."

Sophia Bono, Italy

Global Friendships

"I am studying in China not only because I want to learn Mandarin Chinese, but also because I like to meet new people. And that happened. I've met so many new friends, not only from China, but also from all different parts of the world. And through this, I've learned a great deal more about other cultures, and came to better understand other peoples ways of thinking." Roberto Simmino, Switzerland

Improve Mandarin Abilities Within the Shortest Time

"I had only studied Mandarin for three months, but every day I could feel my Mandarin getting better. In Japan, although I have tried, I felt I couldn't really grasp the Mandarin language in the most effective way, but [here in Beijing] there are excellent teachers who really make a difference. They are experienced in teaching foreign students. Before I started studying in Beijing, I could only say "yes," "no", "thank you" and other very simple sentences. But now I can speak with far more confidence and can converse on many different topics. And I'm really impressed because all this happened in only three months!"

Matsui Doi, Japan

Enter a Chinese University

"In Korea, many people want to get into University. In order to get into a University, we must pass the HSK exam with excellent marks. But the HSK exam is in Chinese, so I thought the best way to pass this exam is to study in a city where everyone speaks Mandarin and where schools offer the best programs in helping me advance in my Chinese language abilities. Now I love China so much, I want to do my undergrad at the Peking University"

Sulhee Lee, Korea

Learn about International Culture

"I came to China with only the hope of learning better Mandarin Chinese but I got much more. I learned more about the Chinese culture, way of life and way of doing business. Not only did I meet many new Chinese friends, I also met friends from other parts of the world and from this I learned more about other cultures giving me a very colouful experience." Marcolien Liefehber, Canada

Prepare for Future Success

"I know the future business trend is with China . I know there are a lot of schools where I could study in my own country, but if I study in Beijing, I will learn about the city and the Chinese way of doing business. I know when I return to Thailand, my Chinese skills and Chinese business knowledge will both make me more marketable."

Sut Kaew, Thailand

Experience Chinese Student Life

"Studying abroad is one of the best ways to perfect one's grasp of the Chinese language. I have learned that everything in my environment helps me. Because I am constantly surrounded by Chinese native speakers and students from other countries, I rarely speak Russian. I live on campus, so I have made Chinese friends. Many of them have helped me to develop my communication skills." Irina Korosteleva, Russia
