If you decide to learn this language, I&#8217;d like to give you my warmest applause!<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/learning-chinese\/\" title=\"View all posts in Learning Chinese\" >Learning Chinese<\/a> abroad, especially <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/writing\/\" title=\"View all posts in writing\" >writing<\/a> can be daunting for a reason. I&#8217;m not sure I can do it, but after three months of learning the language abroad, I was able to have a simple conversation and read the basic restaurant menu. Cultural integration and rural language learning can certainly create miracles.<\/p>\n<p>With a population of about 1.4 billion, China is the second-largest economic power in the world. If you want to learn Chinese and want to stay in a big city like Beijing or Shanghai, consider <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/news\/\" title=\"View all posts in news\" >news<\/a> like air pollution and <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/food\/\" title=\"View all posts in food\" >food<\/a> fraud.<\/p>\n<p>In learning Chinese, the only difference between Mainland China and Taiwan is that China writes in simplified Chinese, while Taiwan uses traditional Chinese.<\/p>\n<p>Make local friends before departure<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to wait until you arrive to make friends. Finding a pen pal or language exchange partner who lives with you will give you a huge <a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/dictionary\/english\/advantage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">advantage<\/a>. You can learn more about the culture and language of this country through them. Most importantly, they will help you adapt to your new life abroad.<\/p>\n<p>I still keep in touch with the friends I made through Internet language exchange. I can say that they are the reason why I am so happy studying in Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>It is easy to find language exchange partners on the Internet. Joining a Facebook group is one way. There are many websites to find pen pals, my favorite is the dialogue network. It is free in any country.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/chinese-training-money\/\" title=\"View all posts in Chinese Training Money\">Chinese Training Money<\/a>\uff1f Let&#8217;s take learning Chinese in Shanghai as an example.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>How much does a Chinese course cost in Shanghai?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A two-week intensive Mandarin course starts at $500 and an eight-week course starts at $2000.<\/p>\n<p>Shanghai is too big.
