Intensive Chinese Program

What does the Intensive Chinese Program include?

• Chinese classes (20 hours/week): Learn Chinese in small groups (or 8 hours private classes per week for students without a suitable group) 
• Accommodation in single/double rooms in modern apartments in Central Beijing (Jiaodaokou, Dongzhimen and Xizhimen areas)
• Weekly activities such as business lectures, excursions, cultural activities, etc.
• Airport pick-up
• Additional services  such as support with Chinese visa application, registration in Beijing, travel inquiries, ticket booking, etc.

Not included are:
•    Plane ticket; so as to increase flexibility for all students.
•    Insurance; in order to participate in our programs you have to buy your own travel insurance for the whole duration of your stay before program start.

Our teaching method is especially designed for Westerners to learn Chinese by clearly separating the acquisition of spoken and written Chinese.  To learn Chinese words and to learn Chinese characters are 2 very different things, so it makes sense to treat them separately.

Who can learn Chinese through the Intensive Chinese Program?

The Intensive Chinese Program is open to any applicant, regardless of nationality, gender, or race, who wants to learn Chinese. Minimum required age is 18 years old.

The Hutong School Intensive Chinese Program is best suitable for:
• Absolute beginners who are very motivated, enthusiastic and eager to learn Chinese (conversational level) in a short period of time.
• People who have taken a short-term course (less than 60 hours of classes) outside China but never had the chance to dedicate the amount of time they would have liked to learning Chinese.

Can people with an intermediate or advanced level also learn Chinese through the Intensive Chinese Program?

Yes, people with an intermediate or advanced level of Chinese can join one of the many ongoing groups (from 2 to 8 people). If there is no group available at your level, you will automatically be given 8 hours per week of private instruction which are much more intense and will have a similar learning outcome to 20 hours of group classes.

When does the Intensive Chinese Program start? For how long can you learn Chinese?

The Intensive Chinese Program starts on the first Monday of every month and can be booked for as long as you like. 

Groups applying together (at least 3 people) with similar Chinese levels can start a new program anytime they want and choose a duration up to 12 months to learn Chinese intensively. For more information about the possibilities, please contact us at info@hutongschool.com. We place great emphasis on the importance of flexibly working out the best solution and allow anyone to learn Chinese efficiently.
