Learning Chinese Language in China?

Hi guys;

I鈥檓 planning to take a course on Chinese language in china, but I don鈥檛 have any background in this language. I鈥檓 just interested in that.

Can anyone kindly give me some information of studying Chinese in China?

How long does it take for a neophyte to learn Chinese in the environment?

How much it cost?

Is it possible to find a part-time job to cover a part of expenses?

I like to take my postgraduate studies there in china? Can you give me some consult a foreign student in China might need?

thanx

If it is not already full, check out the Marco Polo Chinese Language Immersion program that journeyeast.org hosts.

My first recommendation is to contact your own college or university for to see if they have overseas programs in China.

In addition, Chinese universities may have some programs for foreign students. You may check their websites directly or try to contact their alumni who are on or near your current college campus.

There are many programs in China for studying Chinese - here's one website: http://www.transitionsabroad.com/listing...

in fact , it's quite easy.
first , you had better get in touch with a good high school of china.tell them that you want to be a foreigne teacher and learn Chinese at the same time.
students in china are very happy to help you .
