I want to attend Beijing Language and Culture University because of the rich and in-depth experience I'll have there. Learning the Chinese language will not be restricted to the classroom, as I'll be able to apply what I have learned once I step off the campus. Beijing Language and Culture University is a worldwide renowned university for teaching international students Chinese, and a degree from here would allow me to thrive no matter where my career will take me. The intensity of the course will allow my Chinese communication skills to rapidly increase, so that I'll have the necessary skills to build the foundation for my career in translation and interpretation. Not only will I learn the formalities of the language, but I'll learn the colloquialisms that will give me a broader understanding of modern Chinese. The wide diversity of students will allow me to practice my Chinese as a common language, in replacement of English. My life will be heavily enriched through the sharing of different cultures, and especially with the complete immersion in Chinese culture. I am incredibly excited to commit to studying at Beijing Language and Culture University as these next four years, and possibly more, will be spent living and experiencing the language and culture of China. I am confident that through studying at this university, I can travel and deeply explore every aspect of my passion for the Chinese language, and gain a solid foundation for my future career.
