I chose this university because it was recommended to me as the best university to learn the Chinese language. I've always been interested in learning, and I took a course in Mandarin Chinese before in my hometown but was unable to retain anything because I never had the opportunity to use it outside of my classroom. I am hoping that by attending this great school, I will be able to get more practice speaking Chinese and I'm hoping to eventually become fluent. I am also interested in meeting new people and learning about the culture. I think this school will give me the best experience in Beijing.
