Immerse in Chinese
Language and Culture
with Teacher Homestay
Programmes

I was learning Chinese for a while but never found a right programme to go to China until came across Lingoinn. The homestay private teaching was exactly I was looking for, so I enrolled on a 1-week immersion programme (3-10 Feb 2024) in Guangzhou. The programme was well organised and tailored to my needs. The host teacher Gu was very patient with me to correct my pronunciation and grammar mistakes. Her family was helpful and welcoming too. They introduced me to the tasty dim sum and showed me a few interesting places. Although my room was a bit small, the location was great. I enjoyed exploring the city on my own and practising Chinese with the locals. I found the homestay learning effective and enjoyable.

I spent two weeks in Chengdu back in June 2023 with my teacher Diana, and I couldn’t have had a better experience! She was incredibly lovely and an amazing teacher, always ensuring I had everything I needed and cooking the most delicious dishes. Everyone in her family was nice too. I truly felt like part of her family. We explored various parts of the city together, the Wide and Narrow Alleys, Wuhou Temple and Jinli… and she explained a great deal about its history, which helped me connect even more with Chinese culture and learn A LOT of new vocabulary! I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you for the amazing experience!

I recently took a Lingoinn homestay programme in Dalian thanks to my friend’s recommendation. I was there for a week in June brushing up Chinese before going to Beijing. My teacher Mr He was a great guy, supportive and fun. He made learning materials for my level and taught me the phrases that local Chinese people use. We watched a few great Chinese movies together. I could ask him any questions while watching, words, culture and people. It was a good fun and great way to learn. Most of days I travelled around the city on my own but the trip I had with Mr He to Lushun was wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the local history and took me to an amazing local restaurant. It was a unique learning experience for me.

I went to Shanghai in April this year and used Lingoinn’s homestay service for 1 week. My goal was to learn about Shanghai and improve my mandarin. The home I stayed was very nice and in a great location. My host Jill Laoshi was a very experienced teacher and a lovely lady. She prepared everything for me with great care. My lessons, room and breakfast were all made to my liking. We went to many places like the Shanghai museum, Bund, Jing’an temple to see the new and old Shanghai, it was a wonderful trip. My mandarin was more fluent by the time I left. I’ll definitely use Lingoinn’s service for my next trip.

I stayed for a week at the home of Ms. Zhang in Dalian. Ms. Zhang patiently corrected my pronunciation and helped me understand sentence patterns. Her family was equally kind and I felt truly welcomed. I was there in June and the weather was perfect. I really enjoyed walking around the city and interacting with the local people, Lingoinn gave me lots of information about lessons, daily life and getting around the city.

I spent one semester abroad in China and was initially quite nervous about my time there, as I didn’t feel confident in my Chinese language skills. I was staying with Guo Laoshi in Dalian for 2 weeks and the immersive programme was absolutely perfect! It not only helped me improve my language abilities much faster than traditional classes, but also gave me a deeper understanding and respect for Chinese culture. I didn’t have to worry about anything, accommodation, meals and lessons, Guo Laoshi was excellent! She was very patient and took good care of me. I’m very grateful I did this before starting university.
