Jeg havde aldrig været i Kina før jeg besluttede mig for at tage en praktikplads hos Hutong School. Støtten jeg fik fra personalet, var exceptionel og de forsikrede sig at jeg aldrig følte mig alene i Shanghai. Jeg har mødt en masse mennesker fra over hele verden og takket være skolen er nogle af de mennesker mine venner den dag i dag. …
Starting from my initial email contact, the customer service was exceptional. I received excellent information and support before, during and after my classes. The instructors are skill-full and experienced both at teaching Chinese and adjusting to student and class needs. I was amazed at my progress after only one month!
What separates Hutong School from all the other schools is the staff: everyone is nice, welcoming and engaged. The classes are very involved, and the group environment serves well for practicing speaking. After a few months, I was speaking Chinese well enough to be hired in a full time management position in Shanghai.
Mit ophold hos Hutong School var fantastisk fordi jeg havde super gode professorer og jeg mødte en masse forskellige studerende fra hele verden, i de 6 måneder jeg var der. Jo længere tid man er der jo nemmere bliver det at forbedre sit kinesisk, og derudover dele utrolige stunder med de lokale. Der bliver tilbudt en bred vifte af aktiviteter…
Jeg brugte min ferier hos Hutong School og det var den bedste beslutning jeg nogensinde har taget! Jeg havde studeret kinesisk det forrige år og indså at mine lektioner hos Hutong var helt klart en bedre kvalitet. Det var de bedste lærere, metoder og kulturelle aktiviteter muligt. Jeg var efterfølgende i stand til at skippe et helt niveau da…
Der er et level af komfort og elskværdig atmosfære hos Hutong School som var smittende. Kun fire måneder i Shanghai og jeg havde fået utrolige venner, lært mere om mig selv som person end jeg nogensinde havde kunne gøre i mit eget land, og aldrig havde jeg troet jeg skulle nyde at studere Kinesisk så meget som jeg har gjort. Hutong School…
Hutong School set me up with a nice flat in the centre of Beijing, taught me loads during class and led interesting cultural activities after class. The greatest thing was the flexibility to determine your own experience while also being provided the opportunity to experience as much as possible at every turn.
From arriving in Shanghai with no real clue what to expect, I left with a much broader sense of how Chinese culture and business operates in the modern world. I’m especially thankful to all those I worked alongside for contributing to my enrichment as well as the teaching staff who offered a fun, lively and interactive learning environment! …
I’ve joined the Hutong School in Beijing and Shanghai two times already – and every time it was a great and wonderful experience. The accommodation is quite okay. The people at the Hutong School are very nice and helpful in every way. The teachers are very motivated and well prepared. And the School offers a lot of fun free-time activities. The “Hutong-School-weeks” were one of my best in my live – and I can recommend it in every way. You not only learn a lot – you also meet a lot of new friends.
Hutong School gave me the opportunity to meet other students from all over the world and help adapt to Chinese culture. The events are always fun and a great way to meet other students, as well as seeing different parts of the city. Hutong School is really flexible with the class schedules, so you never miss out on fun activities!
