I decided to quit my job and take a 3 months crash course. A decision I do not regret. Hutong School is honestly always there to support you with daily things and to help you out...Learning Chinese is a whole different experience, since you have to cross a cultural border to understand the language and its structure.
Cuando me decidí hacer mis 3 meses de pasantías en Beijing, estaba muy asustada, pero el personal me ayudó durante los meses antes de mi llegada, cuidando todo: visa, empresa para las pasantías, vivienda, etc. Aprendí muy bien en mis cases de chino. Me divertía mucho en las diversas actividades culturales e hice muchos nuevos amigos. ¡Tuv…
I really enjoyed my experience with Hutong School in Shanghai. More than a simple Chinese course, here you can experiment the language with the help of very professional tutors, participate in many activities and meet many nice people from all around the world!
Al entrar en la escuela, no te encontrarás con nadie que esté aburrido, triste o desmotivado. ¡Todo el mundo – personal, profesores y estudiantes – es amable, atento y apasionado sobre las clases! La ayuda por parte del equipo siempre estaba allí, incluso antes que cualquier problema apareciera: me buscaron en el aeropuerto y tenía una asis…
Nunca había ido a China antes de tomar la decisión en hacer un internado mediante Hutong School. El apoyo que recibí del personal fue excepcional y se aseguraron de que nunca me sintiera perdido o solo en Shanghai. Gracias al colegio, conocí a personas de todo el mundo y algunos de ellos siguen siendo mis buenos amigos hasta el día de hoy….
La Escuela Hutong incluyó asistencia contra el bloqueo del lenguaje/cultural 24/7, y me expuso a una nueva cultura, grandes actividades culturales, un nuevo lenguaje, y gente increíble. Tomé el curso intensivo de chino y me pareció que era más eficaz que cualquier otro programa de chino que he buscado. Los profesores son muy buenos, profesi…
Mi tiempo en Shanghai como parte de la Escuela Hutong fue una de las mejores decisiones que tomé. Fue la mejor pasantía que he tenido, con un buen tutor, tengo una nuevos conocimientos y grandes experiencias. La Escuela Hutong no solo me dio una experiencia profesional, sino también me dio una buena comprensión cultural.
I didn’t have any idea what to do after I graduated. So I focus myself in my business in México when I decided to start a new experience in China. That’s when I came across Hutong School while browsing on the net. I wanted to learn Chinese but not only focus on intensive courses, Hutong offered me a big portfolio of quality internships where I’ve founded a place on a nice company where I learn a lot about business in China while learning Chinese with Hutong excellent quality lessons. Totally recommended!
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!
Located in the heart of the beautiful French Concession, Hutong School offered me the experience of a lifetime. The teachers, staff and students were absolutely amazing and I still keep in contact with many of them. I participated in the Intensive Chinese Program and because of my wonderful teacher I went from absolute beginner to intermediate level Chinese in just 5 months!
