My wife and I decided to provide a program named “Intensive Chinese Weekend Stay” in New York. In this program, we invite a learner of the Chinese language for free to our home and provide an intensive learning course.
Intensive Chinese Weekend Stay Program (New York City)
Part of the reasons why we started this kind of program is that we recently signed up for CouchSurfing, which we found very interesting (we are actually hosting an American girl next weekend just two weeks after signing up!). We decided to impose a particular condition when hosting somebody that the guests should at least speak or learning one of the CJK (i.e., Chinese, Japanese, Korean) languages, so that the guests can deepen their understanding in East Asian languages and cultures.
This “Intensive Chinese Weekend Stay” is the extension of the above concept. In this program we are going to provide comprehensive pronunciation and grammar review so if you are interested in the details please go to the above page and apply!
