China es un país fascinante y lleno de oportunidades. La Escuela Hutong me ayudó a explorarlas. Las clases de chino en la mañana junto a mi pasantía, fueron de gran ayuda, ya que me sentí más confiado cuando tuve que hablar con la gente. ¡La Escuela Hutong está allí cuando más lo necesitas!
Completé 3 meses del curso intensivo, la cual mejoro mi nivel y capacidad del idioma Chino. Agradezco la oportunidad de haber podido experimentar la cultura china a primera mano, así como la oportunidad de crear amistades no solo con mis compañeros de clase, pero también con las maestras y el personal. Hutong School me proporcionó una resid…
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.
I really enjoyed my experience with Hutong School in Shanghai. More than a simple Chinese course, here you can experiment the language with the help of very professional tutors, participate in many activities and meet many nice people from all around the world!

I completed a 3-month intensive language course, which greatly improved my Chinese language capability. I appreciate the opportunity to have experienced the Chinese culture first-hand, as well as, the opportunity to make lifelong friendships with my classmates, teachers and the staff. Hutong School provided me with a safe and comfortable residence in which to stay. The staff was always willing and happy to help me with anything that I needed.
La Escuela Hutong me proporcionó la oportunidad de aprender el idioma a un nivel de principiante, y me proporcionó hacerlo mientras exploraba muchos de los lugares históricos de China para una experiencia auténtica.
They provided me with an outstanding placement, tailored language classes and critical welcome assistance. I must have asked the staff a thousand times to change my program, two thousand times to sign up for activities and three thousand times I changed my mind, but I’ve always been assisted with a smile. Priceless experience, priceless staff!
I first went to Shanghai as a Hutong School student, nothing speaks more about the experience than the fact that I went back for an internship (within their offices!) a year later. Studying and working in China were the differentiating factors on my resume that lead me to the amazing job I have now, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Hutong School´s awesome staff guiding me through my Chinese adventures.
