I would like to know why English classes as so expensive? My new bride wrote and told me English class in Shanghai was $500 USD for only four months. I don know how many days a week they would go. It does not even cost $500 USD to take a class in a American college. Please let me know because I am confused.

It's highly probable, for

1, Things in Shanghai are much more expensive than that in other places and,

2, The English your bride told you might be something of a higher/advanced level in English, not just ABC. For Example, interpreter training, simultaneous interpretation training or GRE or many other courses people may not even ever heard of.

Yes, some people make great fortune of it.

I heard the interpretation training in Xian costs as much as about 8000 yuan - even cheaper than that in New Oriental School.

your girlfriend is helping you to spend good money by going to prestigious private language school, taught by highly overpaid foreign teachers, using franchise program of some branded institutions with long years of english traditions and renting a very choice downtown prime location!
you should be proud of her. one day she with her good english is going to make you proud amongst your english speaking friends.
why are you confused? dont you want to invest in her?

I am planning to offer English classes using video conferencing. Student can join classes from their homes if they have broadband. The teachers are all bilingual (Mandarin and English). We have not decided on fees yet, it will between US$30 to 50. Do you think this is acceptable for the Chinese market.
