Intensive programme.

Build focused Mandarin progress in Chengdu

Structured classes, practical communication.

A programme matched to your level, objectives and available study time.

Intensive programmes combine small-group teaching, one-to-one lessons and flexible weekly schedules. The right balance depends on your starting level, objectives and the time you can realistically devote to study.

We compare schools by teaching approach, class format, speaking practice and suitability for goals such as daily conversation, HSK preparation, characters or professional Chinese.

Classroom learning is only part of the programme. Activities and everyday life in Chengdu create regular opportunities to use new language in context.

Plan your programme

Cultural programme.

Let your interests become part of your language learning

Keep doing what you love, but do it in Chinese.

Use your interests to give new Mandarin an immediate purpose.

Cultural activities give Mandarin an immediate purpose. Cooking, calligraphy, photography, music, sport or visits around Sichuan create natural situations in which new vocabulary becomes useful.

The programme is not a fixed catalogue of excursions. We start from your interests, then look for activities, teachers and local settings that can complement your language classes.

This balance of structured study and meaningful experience helps conversations happen more naturally and makes Chengdu part of the learning process.

Local people, real expertise

Learn with artists, teachers, guides and specialists who can connect their subject to Chengdu and explain it with care.

Built around your interests

Choose experiences that fit your schedule and curiosity, from occasional activities to a more sustained personal project.

Plan a cultural stay

Experiences rooted in Chengdu

We look for activities led by people who know their subject and understand the local context. The objective is not to fill a timetable, but to create relevant opportunities to learn, practise Mandarin and form a more personal connection with the city.

Au Pair.

Learn Mandarin through everyday family life

A structured cultural exchange in Chengdu.

Family life, Mandarin study and local coordination in one placement.

Au pair stays combine life with a host family, light childcare support, English exposure for the children and regular Mandarin study. Accommodation, meals and structured local coordination form part of the placement.

Daily routines create constant opportunities to understand how family life works and to practise language in real situations rather than only in class.

Because the experience is built on trust, each placement involves an application, eligibility checks and careful matching between the participant and host family.

More than accommodation, an au pair placement becomes part of everyday family life. It requires responsibility, flexibility and genuine interest in cultural exchange. The application process helps establish whether the arrangement is right for both the participant and the family.
