Immerse yourself in Taiwan or China!

Home>>Chinese Mandarin>Chinese Mandarin Immersion

Surrounding yourself with Chinese Mandarin words and sounds and music will be the very best way to learn, trust us.

We recommend the courses provided at Aston Language Centre located in Wuhu City, Anhui Province, China. The School was founded in 2001 with the aim of providing affordable language classes to local and foreign students.

They also provide teaching positions for those that would like to teach English while in China! And although Aston prefers to have teachers with TEFL certification, on-the-job training is also provided, so a TEFL certificate is not essential.

However, for those interested in obtaining a TEFL/TESOL diploma, LLL recommends The Canadian Institute of English, with One-Week TESOL Methodology training courses worldwide, throughout the year, for: North America $590 CAD/$585 US, Mexico $485 US, Japan $990 CAD/$830 US (95,000 Yen), Great Britain $650 US, Thailand $650 US, Eastern Europe $425 US, South Korea $780 US. (Prices vary by location due to local currency index and costs)

Aston's Mandarin Courses cover: Beginners Level, Business Mandarin, Elementary Level, HSK Training, Intermediate Level, Chinese Culture Lectures... from a structered and scheduled class scenario to one-on-one tutorials that can begin anytime. Prices range from 60 RMB ($8.50 US, 5,50 Euros, 4 GBP) to 5400 RMB (390 GBP, 490 Euros, $770 US) depending on the type and length of course.

Come and teach English while learning Mandarin!

Until you are able to travel to China though, do your best to immerse yourself where you live, using the following suggestions:

1. Use a dictionary to print Mandarin words like "table", "door", "window", "kettle", "bed", "chair", "mirror" etc and stick them onto those items around the house. Over time these words will automatically become part of your vocabulary, without even trying to memorize them! You could also in time join some verbs, like eat, open/close, wash, boil, sleep, sit, look, etc so as to associate them with the objects. Try it!

2. Listen to the radio a bit each day and tune in your ears!

3. Keep up with the news each day. Of course this applies mainly to those already learning characters. Using a dictionary try and figure out the headline each day. Do this once a day, and you'll quickly build new vocabulary.

4. Usewww.Google.cn instead of Google in English will give you practice in using the language and Chinese characters. Again this is for more advanced learners.

5. Listen to Chinese music and follow the lyrics: for example try this song by Alan Luo called Expert Love. Watch out for the lyrics in Pin Yin...
