Particularmente me gustó la dedicación y la paciencia de los profesores (tengo más de 70 años de edad. Así no fue tan fácil entender el vocabulario, la gramática y la pronunciación en mi viejo cerebro) y el tiempo que pasaba el personal en ayudarnos con el alojamiento, la planificación, etc. ¡La Escuela Hutong “me dio poder” para pasar…
China es un país fascinante y lleno de oportunidades. La Escuela Hutong me ayudó a explorarlas. Las clases de chino en la mañana junto a mi pasantía, fueron de gran ayuda, ya que me sentí más confiado cuando tuve que hablar con la gente. ¡La Escuela Hutong está allí cuando más lo necesitas!
Nunca había ido a China antes de tomar la decisión en hacer un internado mediante Hutong School. El apoyo que recibí del personal fue excepcional y se aseguraron de que nunca me sintiera perdido o solo en Shanghai. Gracias al colegio, conocí a personas de todo el mundo y algunos de ellos siguen siendo mis buenos amigos hasta el día de hoy….
Hacer una pasantía con la Escuela Hutong fue la mejor experiencia de mi vida. Aunque vivir en Beijing a veces era difícil, cuando necesitaba ayuda la Escuela Hutong estaba allí. La pasantía fue muy interesante y mi profesor de chino era genial. He participado en muchas actividades culturales: Taichí, hacer baozi, visitar la Gran Muralla, y…
I spent my vacations in Hutong School and that was the best decision I have ever made! I had been studying Chinese for the past year and I realized that taking classes in Hutong is definitely a different quality. The best teachers, methods and cultural activities anyone can find. I was able to skip one level when I went back to my country and I am looking forward to visiting Hutong School’s other locations!
La Escuela Hutong en Shanghai está situada en la antigua concesión francesa. No esperaba que el edificio fuese tan encantador y acogedor. Debido a que solo quería aprender el vocabulario de negocios, mi maestro era flexible y se adaptaba a mi nivel muy bien. El personal fue muy amable y servicial, hicieron más agradable mi estadía en Shangh…
I had studied Chinese on my own for about a year before I went to Hutong School. Having class for 4h/day made my Chinese level improve right away while still leaving me time for hanging out with the other students and exploring Beijing. I went back the year after so I guess that gives a pretty good impression of how satisfied I have been with the Intensive Chinese Program!
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.
Viniendo de los EE.UU., estaba muy asustado y era cauteloso al ver las pasantías en China. Encontrar la Escuela Hutong fue una verdadera bendición. No solo se preocuparon por todas mis necesidades, sino que me abrieron los ojos a un nuevo mundo mientras me sentía seguro y cómodo. ¡No hay manera de que lo hubiera logrado sin ellos!
I’ve joined the Hutong School in Beijing and Shanghai two times already – and every time it was a great and wonderful experience. The accommodation is quite okay. The people at the Hutong School are very nice and helpful in every way. The teachers are very motivated and well prepared. And the School offers a lot of fun free-time activities. The “Hutong-School-weeks” were one of my best in my live – and I can recommend it in every way. You not only learn a lot – you also meet a lot of new friends.
