January 10th update: Due to popular demand, we have opened a third level for enrollement. This has resulted in a few open spots accross the board. Contact us for more information

front oh the resort DETAILS:

The camp will be held in a 3* hot springs hotel within one hour of Shijiazhuang city. This place is part of the Tuoliang area with a village across a bridge!

The hot springs resort is a great place to get out of the busy city-life and immerse yourself in studies all while having the necessary comforts such as western-style toilets, on site hospital, massage center, spring water, TV and much more.

The opportunity to have access to a massage center and hot springs water on a daily basis is a great way to deal with the winter.

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.

LEVEL C: Level C is remains closed at the moment until either LEVEL A or B is filled. Then, LEVEL C will be opened to as either.
