C. Ideal Chinese language learning environment for overseas students
Compared to larger cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, Putonghua (Mandarin) is more widely used in Liuzhou. Since Putonghua is the main language for students to communicate here, by choosing LCVC, the overseas students will be offered an effective Chinese language learning environment, and usually can speak simple Chinese in 3 months, speak Chinese fluently in half a year and communicate in Chinese freely in a year. What’s more, Liuzhou has a very rich culture to offer, and by experiencing its national, regional and historical aspects, students will enhance their understanding of China and its character.
