Summer Camp

Take part in an immersive Mandarin summer camp for learners based in Europe

Learning Chinese from outside of Chinese-speaking countries can be a challenge. It’s hard to find opportunities to fully immerse yourself in the language without traveling abroad.

So we’ve partnered with mandarinretreat.com who organise a Chinese language immersion summer camp in the UK. The five-day retreat supports learners of all levels to replicate the experience of living in a totally Chinese-speaking environment. 

Small groups of learners get to practice their Mandarin skills while taking part in cultural activities with the support of professional native-speaker tutors and volunteers.

The next summer camp takes place in the beautiful town of Cheddar from July 27th – 31st, To find out more or book your place on a retreat visit MandarinRetreat.com.

“I really enjoyed the last immersion trip. I met some great people and got to talk about some topics in Chinese that I don’t often talk about in daily life. For example Chinese medicine, nutrition and some recent news events in China. Would highly recommend it!”
