| I am chinesse indoensian and currently living in singapore. I also plan to go to Shanghai to study intensive mandarin for 3 month from Oct - Dec. i speak chinesse dialect so it makes it so much easier for me to pick up chinesee..but i just want to learn mmore structure writing and reading. I did tried to study in shanghai for 1 week when I went to shanghai last year..at iMandarin..it's only 2 people in the class..but i have to say the teacher are pretty good and the syllabus is very well prepared. But for the long term..I prefer to choose a place / university like Tongji uni or Tongji JBC. I visit Fudan and Jiatong as well at that time. But I found Fudan and Tongji main campus just too much hassle to access...so I narrow my choice to Jiaotong and Tongji JBC. After listen to Richard's comment..i think i'd rather choose Tongji JBC then. And also the customer service there is much much better. They are very helpful and responsive to my email. They charge USD 1,115 for 3 months (Oct 10 - Dec 30 ' 05).
I have checked all the uni, so far the best service I got is from Tongji JBC..they really take care of my needs, and the price is not much different from any other uni. I do agree with Richard comment that location is so important in shanghai. i went to shanghai last year..and was soo stress up if I have to take the bus there..Location is so important in shanghai. I also choose Shanghai cos I have so many Singaporean, malaysian and Chinesse friends in Shanghai. Which provide me a lot of pool to practice my chinesse...I feel more comfortable to have this gang of familiar friends to hang around..but they speak chinesse..so I can practice my chinesse as well. Do contact me at anna_kpmg@hotmail.com if you also plan to go to Shanghai at that time..we can do gathering and spent our time to practice our chinesse together. |
