Peking University (PKU)

When I arrived i didnt speak any Chinese, but I thougth my english was enough, big mistake, in china almost no one speaks english. Well with the international students no problems because we communicate in english and spanish but of course doing my daily life with chinese people at the beggining was difficult, a lot of times i feld like a little baby, because everything was very hard, even go to the supermarket, because evertything is in chinese. The only way to communicate was with signals or mimics. But i survived and that help me to push my self to learn chinese faster. It was a need.

beside improving my chinese i could also practice my english. personnly i had hardly problems in communicating with other people, except sometimes in course s where special vocabularies were requiered.

I struggled somewhat in formal situations but in daily social life my Chinese proficiency improved drastically. I more confident and comfortable speaking with locals.

I went there to learn the langauge. It was an intensive learning course over the summer.

have no problem with chinese, learn many business vocabulary

the chinese you learn is not the chinese outside the school
