Please note that programmes and classes are temporarily running at the student residence, Xihua Jade. The residence is centrally located between the Forbidden City and Wangfujing – Beijing’s shopping area. There is a large conference room and private corners for individual classes or mini groups.

In the magnificent imperial gardens, a stone's throw away from the Forbidden City, our partner school is situated in the building of the Cultural Palace, at the heart of the Tartar city of the Manchus, one of the last remains of old Peking. The school as spacious and bright classrooms with a view out over the gardens. A real haven of peace and refinement, the park with the century-old trees is ideal for walking, chatting or studying some ideograms in the shade of the pavilions of another time. The cafeteria, a popular place of relaxation during the lunch break also allows you to access the Internet. Classes in a reduced-size group (maximum 8) will allow you to study Mandarin in an intensive way in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. A few minutes' walk away, you will find Wangfujing, the liveliest shopping street in the city, the vast Tien an Men Square and the metro of the same name which will lead you to the four corners of the "Northern capital".

Eine fantastische Reise, Gut organisiert. Professionelle Lehrer. Schon mit wenigen Sprachkenntnissen wird man sehr viel besser akzeptiert und die Menschen dort freuen sich über jedes Wort Chinesisch, das sie von Europäern nicht erwarten würden. Fließend Englisch sprechen dort nur wenige.Beijing: sehr spannende Stadt, wenig europäischer/westlicher Einfluss macht die Stadt authentisch und besonders interessant. Leider ist der Smog unvermeidbar. Die Schule "Sprach Cafe" ist am Rande der verbotenen Stadt gelegen und damit schon im abgegrenzten Gebiet. Dadurch ist die Umgebung der Schule sehr ruhig und angenehm und bietet eine tolle Lernatmosphäre. In der Kantine der Schule gibt es jeden Mittag ein authentisch chinesisches Gericht.

Residence
Our partner school's residence is situated in the Xidan district which is 3 metro stations, that being 10/15 minutes away from the school. In a very calm area whilst being at the heart of Beijing, you will stay in a single room with a private bathroom and will shaer the living room with the other students. Meals (breakfast and lunchI are taken in the school's cafeteria on days when classes take place. You can also book a double room if you come with another student.

Much more than a city, Beijing is a world in itself. Of the former Khanbaliq, Marco Polo said this "You must know that the city of Cambaluc hath such a multitude of houses, and such a vast population inside the walls and outside, that it seems quite past all possibility. To this city also are brought articles of greater cost and rarity, than to any other city in the world." The enthusiastic report of the Venetian is still applied today.

Beijing has a past stretching over many millenia, an incredible range of tourist, cultural and historic attractions and, at the same time, a pulsating activity that never seems to stop. There are so many things to discover during your afternoons following a tennis match in front of the Imperial Temple. A wide-ranging programme in view among the 9999 chambers of the Purple City, the magnificent Palace gardens in summer or the Temple of Heaven to quote only the most famous. Very inexpensive, public transport is a great way of crossing through Beijing and its surroundings. The Great Wall is only 60km away from the centre and in the evening, in order to taste a Mandarin Fish or to go out with your friends, head for Wangfujing…
