WHAT WE LIKE - Key features of this program
Large, exciting and unique city. Dominated by a jungle of spectacular skyscrapers and busy port. Small modern School downtown (Wan Chai).

Enjoy a Cantonese or Mandarin language course in China at our language school in the city of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong, dominated by a jungle of spectacular skyscrapers and busy port, is a world capital of business and trade. The busy streets are filled with people and one of the best-known neighborhoods is actually floating on water. Aberdeen is home to thousands of junks and sampans (boats) used for both businesses and homes.

Hong Kong is an exciting and unique city. With all the modern sophistication of the 20th Century, Hong Kong is enriched by the colorful traditions of the ancient Chinese Culture. It is the unique way in which these traditions coexist in this spectacular city that makes it such an interesting place for travellers to visit.


SCHOOL FACILITIES
Modern building (3000 SQ feet), downtown with 7 classrooms, a language laboratory equipped with audio and visual aids, small café area, social area, close to all amenities.

Our school is a leading language school in Hong Kong, specializing in Cantonese and Mandarin learning.

Located in the Wan Chai area of Hong Kong Island, the school is close to the Admiralty and offers a variety of restaurants, movie theaters and shopping centres.

Johnston Road and Queen's Road East are the two major streets in the area, but the streets and little alleys in between are by far the most intriguing. Export clothing shops line the streets of Johnston Road and Luard Road and are by far, some of the best values in Hong Kong. The nearest subway station is MTR station Exit A3.

The school has more than 50 Cantonese and Mandarin teachers who bring years of experience and all are native speakers, either born in Hong Kong or Guangdong in the cases of the Cantonese teachers.

STUDENT FEEDBACK

"The lessons were great fun we worked on one structured lesson using text and on free lesson where we discussed matters of interest. The lessons were humorous, relaxed and full of information.

The teachers were able to communicate freely and were provide good value for money. The only down side was we were used to the Sidney Lau system for tones (the school is using Yale system), but this was a minor matter."
Mike ( age 35)

---------------------------

"My experience was definitely a postive one! I met some great people in class and was able to use them as a support system during my stay in Hong Kong. The teachers were friendly and the staff at the institute was veryn accomodating.

I thought the staff was helpful and efficient. They were able to answer most of my questions in a timely manner. Thank you!

The language institute in Hong Kong was great! The staff was very accomodating and encouraged everyone to speak the language. The teachers were knowledgeable and friendly. I loved the fact that they told personal stories in Cantonese to help us learn the language. The personal accounts were informative as well as entertaining. The school itself was small but quite busy at times.

There were lots of students, all ages, which was a plus. The location of the school was in the heart of Hong Kong. . . fun place!

Future Advice: If you're thinking about it, definitely. . . do it! There's nothing like being totally immersed in the language and culture".
Terry Wong (age: 32)
