Winter 2009: Jan 10 - Jan 24

Details:

Camp will take place starting mid-January 2009 just before the beginning of spring festival. The dates were picked so that a maximum number of students has the opportunity to take part in it, especially teachers working at public institutions. We will most likely go back to our hot spring resort in PingShan where the past two editions took place.
The location offers a perfect mix of comfort, isolation and well as immersion and the lodge has drawn great comments from previous participants. There is a small Internet bar just outside the lodge so that students can stay in touch with loved ones while at camp and business folks can check on their interests as needed.

The Classes:

LEVEL A: this is our beginner's group. Classes will cover the basic concepts required to survive and be operational in China. This is a good course for people who are absolute beginners or that have a few notions of the language but no proper schooling in grammar/sentence structure

LEVEL B: This is our intermediate course. It is designed for those who have quite a bit of knowledge about the language either from living in China or proper studying and they need a refresher or to step to the next level.

LEVEL C: Advanced Level. Classes are tought in Chinese mainly with scarce English used.
