You could hardly choose a more dynamic city than Shanghai in which to study at a Chinese language school, for Shanghai is the powerhouse of the new China, a place that is looking to the 21st century to find its true destiny.

It is barely twenty years since Shanghai boasted narrow lanes of traditional Chinese houses, cramped and quaint but rich only in poverty. Today these historic old suburbs are gone, buried beneath a forest of high-rise tower blocks that strive upwards as if reaching for the stars. For this is modern Shanghai, a place where anyone coming to a language school cannot fail to be overawed by the rise of the slumbering giant dragon.

Of course, if your chosen language at the language school is Chinese, you have come to the right place, for the heart of China lies here. Today the city includes speakers of both Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese, so there is no problem absorbing the complexities of Chinese in all its forms.

So think Shanghai for your perfect choice of language school—for its modernity, Formula 1 Grand Prix racing, economic development and, yes, some cultural remains too, along the Bund Road. A language school in Shanghai offers a fabulous experience for students of all the facets of the Orient. « Show Less
