Host Families in China

Living with a Chinese family, you will have the unique chance to live immersed in a Chinese speaking environment where you can start to master the intricacies of the language and gain a deeper insight into Chinese culture and thinking.

Be welcomed into a Chinese family and share your life with them during your exchange. Here you have a chance to improve your Chinese skills and experience how important family life is in the Chinese culture. Most families only have one child due to the one-child-policy which has been in place since 1978 and the relationship between the only child and their parents is often a quite close one. Chinese people nurture close family relations, loyalty and a dependency on one another.

Living in China will probably be enormously different from the life you lead today. But it can be a fantastically rewarding experience if you are serious about learning Mandarin and experiencing the Chinese culture. As China becomes a more and more important trade partner, these improved language skills can really make a big difference in your future career.
