Personal comments:
I am a Chinese student studying in The Netherlands. The exchange program with Fudan University, Shanghai, China is a good experience for me. Chinese is my native language. The teaching language is in Engish. I took me half year to combine my study and internship in China. The Chinese and Engish skill is no problem for daily life.
