My language program experience in China

I started my studies in South China University of Technology in Guangzhou, China in September 2026. Since I came I haven't felt any difficulties: teachers teach very well, students are friendly, campus is very convenient. In 6 months I improved my Chinese up to advanced level starting by 0. I want to tell thank you to all the teachers for their hard work.

The quality of the professor 's English

The teaching materials are actually quite good and good, but the way the teachers teach can be said to be very boring and very difficult to understand. They teach in English and their English skills are hard to understand.
