“Die Hutong School gab mir die Gelegenheit, anderen Studenten aus der ganzen Welt zu begegnen und erleichterte mir die Anpassung an die chinesische Kultur. Die Veranstaltungen machten immer Spaß und waren eine gute Möglichkeit, sowohl die anderen Schüler, als auch verschiedene Teile der Stadt zu sehen. Die Hutong School ist wirklich flexib…
Starting from my initial email contact, the customer service was exceptional. I received excellent information and support before, during and after my classes. The instructors are skillfull and experienced both at teaching Chinese and adjusting to student and class needs. I was amazed at my progress after only one month!
Meine Zeit mit der Schule war wundervoll. Ich hatte hervorragende Lehrer, und ich habe viele verschiedene Studenten aus der ganzen Welt kennengelernt. Je länger man bleibt, desto schneller verbessert sich das Chinesisch, und man kann tolle Momente mit Chinesen hier erleben. Zudem kann man durch die kulturellen Aktivitäten der Schule die Stadt…
I’ve joined the Hutong School in Beijing and Shanghai two times already – and every time it was a great and wonderful experience. The accommodation is quite okay. The people at the Hutong School are very nice and helpful in every way. The teachers are very motivated and well prepared. And the School offers a lot of fun free-time activities. The “Hutong-School-weeks” were one of my best in my live – and I can recommend it in every way. You not only learn a lot – you also meet a lot of new friends.
Ich war noch nie in China bevor ich mich dazu entschlossen habe, ein Praktikum mit der Hutong School zu machen. Den Support, den ich von den Mitarbeitern bekommen habe war außerordentlich gut, und ich habe mich nie allein in Shanghai gefühlt. Ich habe viele Menschen aus der ganzen Welt kennengelernt, und einige von ihnen sind immernoch meine F…
“Ausgezeichneter Empfang mit 24 Stunden Service für alle Probleme oder Sprachprobleme, die auftreten können. Mein Chinesischlehrer war sehr engagiert und kompetent. Ich habe in meinen fünf Wochen in Shanghai mehr gelernt als in zwei Jahren zu Hause.”

Als ich mich dazu entschlossen habe, mein 3-monatiges Praktikum in Peking zu machen, hatte ich ein bisschen Angst, aber das Personal hat mir Monate vor meiner Ankunft geholfen, alles zu erledigen: Visum, Praktikumsbetrieb, Unterkunft usw. Mein Chinesischunterricht wurde extrem gut vermittelt, ich hatte viel Spaß bei den verschiedenen kulture…
I ended up doing an internship in Beijing totally randomly. I didn't know a thing about China, or the working conditions there, or even how to say Hi in Chinese. Well, Hutong School destroyed all my fears, crashed the doubts you can have when moving in another country, and welcomed me as part of a big family.
Meine Zeit in der Hutong School in Peking war unglaublich! Die Angestellten sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Das ganze Team hat meinen Aufenthalt sehr einfach gemacht – angefangen bei der Abholung vom Flughafen, Unterkunft, Registrierung und Karte für die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel. Die Unterrichtszeiten waren flexibel und passten pe…
