Come to China and learn how to speak Mandarin Chinese!
Shenzhen Camp Overview
Shenzhen City, Guangdong, China.
A great place in China to learn how to speak Mandarin Chinese.
Shenzhen is a new city in China. Located next door to Hong Kong it has, overnight, become the economic miracle of China's Opening Up policy. The last 20 years have seen an enormous influx of both capital and people, both from within China and outside China. This collision of different forces and rapid pace of change has created one of the most cosmopolitan and energetic cities that you could possibly learn to speak the Chinese language in, in China. The average person in Shenzhen is only 26 years old. The Chinese here are always looking for the newest and most exciting things; they work hard and play harder. Shenzhen is vibrant and dynamic, a place where deals are made, and the future is shaped. Come join us, learn Mandarin Chinese in China this year, and create your own future.
Many Chinese language schools based in the north of China, particularly around Beijing, claim that their locations are the best for learning Chinese because their local Chinese dialect is closest to the official Mandarin. It is true that their local dialect is close. However there are several unique factors about Shenzhen that we at EMW CULTURAL IMMERSIONS believe make Shenzhen truly a better place to study Mandarin Chinese.
Firstly, migrants are coming to Shenzhen from all over China. This means that Shenzhen is a Mandarin Chinese speaking city, unlike the rest of Guangdong. This gives you well rounded exposure to the many different accents and dialects of Mandarin Chinese that you will hear and have to learn about in China. Migrants who are unable to speak Mandarin when they come here, soon learn how to speak proper Mandarin Chinese. Secondly, many of these immigrants come from China’s North so you are still frequently exposed to "correct" Mandarin, especially in the classroom where our teachers are all northern and/or have passed Mandarin standards set by the government.
