Live with a Chinese family. China Study Abroad offers the option of living with a Chinese family to take full adavntage of your time in China to learn Mandarin. By staying with a family you will be immediately immersed in the langugae and culture of China. There is no better way to learn Chinese than to practice speaking and listening, and by living with a Chinese family you will have plenty of opportunity to do so.

All of our families are middle to upper-middle class and have been interviewed for suitability. Many participants are surprised by the outstanding apartment quality of their host family. A private bedroom, necessary utilities and at least two meals a day are included in every homestay. All families have the standard amnenities of a bathroom (often times private), kitchen, dining area, TV, DVD, internet, telephone etc. China Study Abroad will also take into account your choice of University or private school and select a family that is not more than a reasonable distance away -typically no more than 20 to 30 minutes.
