Winter Bootcamp 2007
August 12 -26, 2007
DETAILS:
While dates for the camp are set, the location is still not decided. We will be in one of the lodges in the tuoliang chain of mountains and should have the exact location set in the next few weeks.
Note: As of June 15, location has been finalized! We are indeed going back to PingShan for this camp
CLASSES:
LEVEL A: this is our beginner's group. Classes will cover the basic concepts required to survive and be operational in China. This is a good course for people who are absolute beginners or that have a few notions of the language but no proper schooling in grammar/sentence structure
LEVEL B: This is our intermediate course. It is designed for those who have quite a bit of knowledge about the language either from living in China or proper studying and they need a refresher or to step to the next level.
