The Language Exchange Programs

• The Language Exchange Program is a program for highly motivated individuals interested in learning about Chinese culture, Chinese language and what life is like in China. Participants will have the unique opportunity to gain an insight into the Chinese way of life by participating in a cultural exchange, whilst studying up to 10 hours of Chinese a week with a one-to-one tutor. The program is currently open to current undergraduates, recent university or college graduates and experienced professionals passionate about sharing their culture and seeking to immerse themselves in a new and very different one.
  

Program Description

• The aim of the Language Exchange Program is to provide an exchange of service between the program participants and the people of Wuhu. As an English speaker, a program participant will provide the necessary tools to help our students with their English needs. In return, the program provides the participant the opportunity and the assistance to learn Chinese, from the beginner level to the advanced. Chinese lessons are offered for up to 10 hours a week for free with a course that can be personally designed for the participant's needs.
