How It Works
Group immersion trips in the UK
We organise five-day Mandarin immersion camps for small groups of adult learners at scenic locations in the UK. Each group consists of a mixture of adult Chinese learners, professional tutors & native Mandarin speakers.
Total immersion experience
Each retreat includes a range of cultural and social activities, including calligraphy, mahjong and dumpling making. We conduct these activities in Mandarin, giving you the complete immersion experience.
All levels welcome
Our organisers & professional Chinese tutors are experienced at supporting learners of all levels through the immersive experience, whether beginner, intermediate or advanced.
