Tons of language improvement and self reliance skills. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned that it's not always what you can see that's the best part of an experience. I found myself being a better student after this program because I found my limit.

My language skills greatly improved. A student - Tufts University View Entire Review
I learned so much Chinese, there was a huge jump in my confidence and ability to speak smoothly. Upon returning to my college my professors all agreed that my Chinese had improved a lot.

About
Looking to improve your Chinese by leaps and bounds while studying in the breathtaking "City of Eternal Spring"? CET Kunming students undertake a full-time Chinese language pledge and cover an entire year of university-level Chinese in 9 weeks. Outside the classroom—with the language pledge still in place—excursions give an inside look at issues particular to the Yunnan region, such as environmental conservation efforts and ethnic minorities. And to round your experience, you'll live with a local roommate to bring language and culture immersion into your home life. This program is open to students with at least 2 semesters of previous Chinese study.
