Travel Freely in China · Fun Chinese Classes & Cultural Experience Classes Exclusively for Foreigners

When traveling in China, language barriers are the biggest pain point for foreign tourists. Most locals in street shops, restaurants, night markets, and transportation hubs cannot communicate fluently in English. This experience activity is specially designed for foreign tourists with zero Chinese language foundation, differing from boring academic Chinese teaching. It only teaches practical Chinese that can be immediately used during travel, simple, direct, and ready to use.

Activity Content

An introductory, interest-based Chinese class for complete beginners. Say goodbye to relying on translation software for basic conversations, while also explaining Chinese social etiquette, cultural taboos, and local ways of thinking. Teach students the most commonly used Chinese for travel, communicating barrier-free in various languages. Understand the real contemporary China. For example, “greetings that won’t be misunderstood” (and even a few local dialects that can make locals feel extra close). Correctly ask, “What are you doing?” “What is this?” “What is this food made of?” etc. And optional learning exercises: ordering food at restaurants, bargaining at night markets, asking for directions in a taxi, checking into a hotel, and emergency assistance. Simple Chinese conversations that can help you gain more interesting insights during your travels.

Experience

Learn simple Chinese characters and practical vocabulary. Practice reading pronunciation and engage in simulated scenario conversations with the teacher. Write your favorite Chinese characters/vocabulary or choose a Chinese name. Understand the (stereotypical) impressions of tourists’ native cultures in China.
