Trouble finding a school with early semester start for 2011

[ole_88]

Hello. I'm new here, so first, thank you for a good and informative forum.

Next year, 2011, I'm planning to go to China to study chinese and probably finding a university through Hyccchina. The semester start on the Universities they offer is mostly the first of March, meaning I will have January and February with nothing to do. Therefore, I'm thinking of using these two months to study Chinese in Beijing, but I'm having difficulties to find someone who offer a study start for a beginner so early in the semester. The only two I have found is east-westconnection.com and capitalmandarin.com. Except their own websites I haven't found much information about these two schools, so I'm wondering if anyone else know about them, and can say something about them? Also, I'm very grateful for all suggestions about other alternatives.

Many (most) private schools will offer classes starting whenever you want if you sign up for one-to-one or find one or two other people at your level to share a teacher with you. You may have difficulty because of Spring Festival, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

In fact, Hyccchina can help you with finding a private school too. You don't have to go to Beijing. Why don't you send them an email and see what they can do for you?
