Mix, talk and communictae with everyone you can, the chinese wnat to talk so you might as well join them yet stay on your toes for the overly-inquistive ones. I had friends in the market, I smiled at students, made some very good friends, spoke to almost every taxi drtiver when I had the chance, and hung out a lot still,you'll learna lot the more you move.
The int.office speaks english so no problems there, beginner chinese courses are in english, intermediate - half in half or like my teacher fully in chinese.
Its one of the best places to learn the language as it isnt as developed as the larger cities, with less foreigners and less to do, hence you become a local in a few weeks too.

It was easy to learn if intersted and if given a second chance, Id do it all over again and take advantage fo all the opportunites.
AFter 6 months I was moved up to the intermediate class with instructions totally given in chinese, it was lovely, would like to do this again.
