PHILLIP Points: Join Date: Sep 21, 2004 Status: offline	I'd like to get a testimonial from a recent graduate or current student of one of Beijing University's (Bei Da) short-term chinese language courses. I have all the info on paper but something from the horse's mouth would be better. So, if you know anyone studying there who wouldn't mind sending me their feedback, it would help me a lot. I'm planning on studying in Beijing next year. In fact, if anyone has taken a 6-month to 2-year Chinese language course at any university in China and can reccomend it, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks.

I did a six month Chinese Language and culture course at the Beijing Institute of Technology but I did it through a study abroad program. The program I attended was for people studying at Jesuit universities in the states so i don't know if any info. I have will help you. Let me know.

I think you should go to BLCU, if you are only interested in language. I think Beida is a better school overall, but it does not specialize in language for foreigners.

Could you tell me a little about it? How many students are there to a class, that kind of thing. Any info is greatly appreciated. Also, if you do know anyone studying Chinese at Bei Da, I'd love to hear about their course too. Thanks a lot.

From what I see,the foreign students who study in BeiDa can't speak mandarin well,so don't go there to study chinese!
Though Beida has very beautiful and large campus,and very famous on education,it is not very good for learning chinese.
I recommend BLCU and Beijing Normal University,the foreign students from these two schools can speak good mandarin in a short time,and I saw the textbooks of these two schools,they are quite systematical.;-)
