Studying in China?

[liquids]

Anyone are goin to china for study during this or next year? Im going to Ningbo beginning of August for one year to pratice my mandarin...I speak cantonese at home and my parents forced me to study mandarin during childhood(which im glad for)..so I understand pretty much mandarin but i need to pratice the speaking part...Wondering if someone else is going for same path as me, if you do we maybe can have a cup of tea or somethin hahahahhaa.

i dont think i'd be able to handle the workload in china to be honest. i'm already thinking its torture w/ school here in US..its gonna be even worse in china haha.
learning chinese-wise..we have chinese school here, dunno if you guys havit..but my friends have been going since they were little..it keeps them really fluent.

Well you only read like 4-5 hours a day...and the classes are sorted by how good you are...im doin it most for fun and to have a break before i start university >_>..we have chinese school here too but much more fun to move to china , to feeel the culture !

Hahaha you going to ningbo and study mandarin while I'm going to shanghai... I think... I'm not sure yet...since there's so many options in china... but I have decided it's either shanghai, beijing or guangzhou I'm not sure if ningbo is a place for me..

Also going sometime in autumn also but it won't be in August I think..more like September, the month I don't have any plans on

My dad wants me to go back to China to learn how to read and write chinese and also learn mandarin >.< He says I wont learn anything here at least not as much as I will studing Chinese here in the US than in China. He was thinking of sending me back during summer time but my mom wont allowe it haha. But honestly I really dont want to study in China, going to school in the US is good enough for me, the only reason I would be going back to China would be for a good travel.

Hehehe...yeah I know I have checked on that site also...really nice prices and probably the cheapest you can find that is approved by CSN. Hangzhou and Ningbo looks like nice places but Shanghai is near to the places I wanna go to..

if u speak cantonese and trying to switch to manderine.. its really hard... because the language is so similiar that when u read, ur instincts tell u to read it in cantonese
