[quote=JHOVER33,237340]Well, this is my first time posting.  I am going to China on August 2nd I have the same goal as you Windy.  I want to become fluent.  I know about 8 words right now maybe 10.

You've come a long way.  Judging by what everyone is saying I suggest you enjoy it.

Remember when your a child and speaking with your friends.  Its the same thing.

Remember not knowing what words were in text books and not being able to read your parents books or adult books?

I have a question for everyone.  I want to live in China for a while but I want to come in on a business visa to learn Chinese and study.

Can I stay without leaving the country..what are my options>?

Also I want to buy a home.  Ive been reading you have to have working or living experience for a year.  Is this a continuous year.

Also, does this have anything to do with maintaining your residency permit for more then one year...

What are the exact precautions I should take before I leave for china.  I would really like to settle down there and learn, teach and buy a home as soon as I can, before it gets expensive.

Also, (ha another question) If I live in Beijing for more then a year (for example) would I be able to buy a house in a different province after a year of living in China?  Or, will I only be able to buy that home in Beijing?

Ive figured all my plans out already except this one.

Thank you, I hope someone can answer my question in a simple way.  Simper then  what I made this seem.  Thanks.
