CAN I LEARN THE CHINESE LANGUAGE DURING MY STAY IN CHINA ?

At all of the Chinese schools, you may be afforded the privilege of taking free Chinese lessons. Also, it is often easy to exchange English lessons for Chinese lessons with students and teachers alike. China has many television channels, but only one in English, CCTV 9, and only a couple of English language newspapers; so for those who feel compelled to keep abreast with current affairs other than via the Internet, learning Chinese can be a distinct advantage.
