First steps to understand the success of modern China
Thanks to the language trip to China i understood fundamental reasons behind modern China's success. I had an opportunity to experience the adaptation of mobile payments system, high-speed trains, incredible eCommerce logistic and many other every day technologies in China. Thanks to the diversified environment I understood different perspectives of people from all around the world. I'm sure the friendships bonded during the program will last for many years to come. It was certainly an amazing time of my life.

Recommend Asianship and Study in China to anyone
Study in China is a breathtaking experience, and studying Chinese language is comparable with a mountain hiking. At first it's quite an effort, but the higher you get, the greatest the view is. Getting to know Chinese people, traveling the high-speed trains and calligraphing the first strokes is a lifetime adventure.

Unforgettable Culture Class
One year long scholarship on language program in China was an unforgettable language and cultural experience. I achieved a Chinese advance level I would never think is possible. And the need of every day communication allowed me to break the language speaking barrier. I recommend it to everyone, no matter how advanced your language skills are!
