Pasé mis vacaciones en Hutong School y puedo decir que esa fue la mejor decisión que tomé! Estuve estudiando Chino durante este ultimo año y tomar las clases con Hutong School definitivamente tiene una calidad superior. Los mejores profesores, métodos y actividades culturales. Cuando regresé a mi país pude saltarme un nivel y ahora quisie…
There is a level of comfort and amiable atmosphere at Hutong School that is very contagious. Only four months in Shanghai and I have made incredible friends, learned more about myself as a person than I ever could in my own country, and I never thought I would enjoy studying Chinese Mandarin this much. Hutong School definitely helped me to find comfort out of my comfort zone!
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…
Just kidding! His Chinese is already really impressive. But Mark, you're always welcome if you want to practice those tones ?
Elegí a la Escuela Hutong porque tenía una amplia variedad de ofertas de pasantías. Además, debido a mi corta edad, me gustaba saber que siempre había alguien a quién podía contactar. La Escuela Hutong me mostró las mejores pasantías adecuadas a mi personalidad. Conocí gente de todo el mundo, a quien yo llamo ahora buenos amigos.
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.
Excellent reception with 24h service for any issue or language problem that could arise. My Chinese teacher was very dedicated and skilled. I learned more in my five weeks in Shanghai than I had learnt two years studying at home.
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.
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!
My stay at the Hutong School was amazing because I had super good professors and I have met a lot of different students from all around the world during my 6 months' stay. More you stay, better it is to improve faster your Chinese level and share incredible moments with locals. Moreover, there is a bunch of activities proposed by the school, so you can discover the city, etc.
