After coming to Beijing, China for a year and being an English teacher, I fell in love with the new city. I wanted to find a renowned institution that had a long standing tradition in teaching Chinese culture and language, and had the support of the majority of Chinese language students who have studied here in Beijing, China. Beijing Language and Culture University had the long standing reputation that stood the test of time, and still maintained the admiration and praise of many of the foreign students of today. Moreover, Beijing Language and Culture University has the wide ray of selection that suits my needs as a Chinese language student. It also has many selections of courses in the at different times of the year (both September and March) that allows me ample to to learn Chinese. In addition, I like Beijing Language and Culture University's setup of the level into Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Proficient and how there is a regular and an intensive choice.
