Internship Program in Beijing
Living and working in Beijing really opened my eyes. The people are extremely nice and helpful. During work, even though there is a huge language barrier, my colleagues do try to communicate with me and the manager was able to organise me to learn from different departments. I was able to make new friends and visit many places in Beijing. Everyone from GAC are very helpful and supportive. Overall I am satisfied with the program.

Internship Program in Beijing
My time in China has been extremely rewarding. When I arrived, the culture shock was immense but I quickly settled into Chinese life, thanks to Gina and the GAC team. My internship was exactly what I was looking for, and it gave me the opportunity to work in a fantastically social co-working space in the heart of Sanlitun SOHO, a cosmopolitan and refined area.

Internship Program in Shanghai
My overall trip: very good, I came to Shanghai. I learned a lot and meet amazing people. I feel more confident in myself and my career.
My company: It’s a good company, and it is as work beneficial as I’d hoped. Many tasks were much related to marketing, and that’s what I expected. The people were all very nice. I still learned a lot about Asian work ethic.
Tanya - Australia
Internship Program in Qingdao
My name is Tanya, a new graduate from Australia. My proficiency of Chinese before doing the program was almost non-existent. I chose to do the full internship package at Qingdao.
My finance internship was at a company called Lujinsuo of roughly 60 employees. The internship job duty included the typical financial jobs you would expect –prepare financial reports, provide financial advice, business analysis, marketing statistics collection, and revising some contracts, etc.
My Chinese definitely improved and I became more independent as a result of living by myself in a foreign country. I would recommend the language program as well. GAC has some famous University Chinese programs in deferent cities.
GAC was satisfactory. I was able to quickly come to China and experience a different culture and learn a lot. The staffs in Beijing were pleasant enough during the application process and were quick to reply. The GAC representative in Qingdao city was welcoming, friendly, and tried her best to help with all my problems. She definitely made a big difference and enriched my stay in Qingdao. On Sundays, she would take me to see a lot of what Qingdao had to offer.

Learn Chinese Program in Shanghai
The Chinese school was at an appropriate pace and the content of what we learnt could be applied to daily situations which was effective for practising Mandarin. 4 weeks from learning Chinese intensive classes is supper effective and useful for me. I think I will attend GAC's one semester or year University Chinese program in BLCU in 2018.
Generally, my program and life in Shanghai are excellent.

Internship Program in Shanghai
Overall I enjoyed my experience with GAC. I was pleased with the amount of knowledge I learned and the new experiences I went through during my internship as a financial analyst at a finance company which GAC found on my behalf. The internship made me realize how fast things move in the finance industry and I feel it has prepared me well for the transition from university to the work force.
GAC also organised activities throughout my time in China, and provided valuable assistance when required.

Internship and Chinese lessons
I first came to China for the language specifically and got the chance to go to Peking Univesity Chinese program and study for half a year. I am now currently interning at Vericant, in Beijing China, an IT company focused on carrying out video assessments for chinese students applying to study abroad.
Applying through GAC was the best decision I made while searching for an internship in China. They arranged everything, from finding my perfect internship company to providing a great accomodation for me and much more. They have really been supportive and have always been available to assist me whenever i encountered any difficulties.
I will be going back to the UK once my internship is done to continue with my university course. For now though, there is still much more to learn about Beijing especially on the weekends since I'm off work. I still practise my Chinese everyday, and I have really come to enjoy my time here the more I get used to it.

Internship Program: Public Relations
I did my internship at a Public Relations company called Storymaker in Beijing. I chose GAC because when I was searching for international internships, they are the company I first came across and it said they were the best at arranging such internships. The team was really helpful up until I got to China, the activities were also great as it was a chance to meet other people, and catch up with the ones I already met before.
Beijing never sleeps! there is always a new place to go to or something to do. But I wasn't so impressed with the fashion as I thought it would be great. But at least I got to learn some "Beijing Hua"! Another thing I also enjoyed was the food - my favourite was "jianbing", its a type of pancake but fried and with lots of vegetables and sometimes meat or egg. I got to see the Ming Tombs, learnt how to use wechat and enjoyed the online shopping. I did that whenever I needed retail therapy. Overall I had the best time in Beijing! Thank you.

Internship and Chinese lessons
I am currently in the middle of my internship in hospitality, I am located in the city of Wuxi in Southeastern China. I am working at the Millennium Hotel, which is a 5 Star falling under Millennium and Copthorne Hotels with many branches all over Europe and northern America. I am a Guest Relations officer here and a lot of my daily tasks are about attending to guest requirements, concerns and work with the front dest too. I love it here, and I am learning so much. I speak English, Spanish and some German so all these languages come in handy when I communicate with foreign guests.

Small Class Mandarin Program
My program was one month long; I took the small group Mandarin Program in Beijing. I would say definitely that my confidence when speaking Chinese has increased even after spending just a few weeks studying in Beijing. I had already learned some Chinese before for 3 years back in high school, so this was just a continuation and a chance for me to visit Beijing. Of course the first two days were difficult in class and just a big mess, but I made friends quickly, my classmates were also cool. The teachers were nice and always taught in Chinese, I was okay with this and was even able to understand Chinese jokes in class.
I decided to go with Go Abroad China after spending many many hours researching for a program that was affordable and would fit my time limit. They gave me a really good service, we went our for hotpot, went to climb the Great Wall and hung out during the weekend. Beijing was really great, it is such an odd mixture of old and new, and has a great diversity of foreigners from many different countries.

Internship Program in Shanghai – 2016
Go aboard China was the one of the best things to happen to me!!! I did the homestay program where I stayed with the cutest family they were so kind to me!!! Kinder then the family I have now lol I actually miss them and think of them often even though it's been a few months since I left the program. I also got to work in an amazing engineering firm Wison were I had the most loving and hilarious coworkers, I literally just fit right in ! GAC I would recommend to a friend or any one reading this. Even when i wasn't in the city of Shanghai , GAC still helped me, plan , get and make sure I was safe during my trip to Beijing. I love GAC!!!

Internship Program in Beijing – 2016
I had a wonderful experience in Beijing, China. Coming from Australia I did not know the Chinese language or culture at all, however, the staff at Go Abroad China were super helpful from Day 1 and helped me to make the transitions easier. The internship company was more than I wished for-- great work environment, friendly atmosphere and a supporting network of staff and colleagues. This was an amazing experience for me and would recommend interning abroad with Go Abroad China.
Catherine - Germany
One on One Tutoring Program in Beijing – 2015
Really happy about my decision of going to Beijing for 2 months in order to prepare myself for the HSK 4! I am pretty sure that I would have never been able to learn that much if I would have taken private classes in Germany. The fact that I was actually going to my Chinese classes and also living in Beijing made me practice the language a lot. I used to speak Mandarin everyday since I was hanging out with Chinese people! Learning Chinese in its country is a much more effective way for students to impove faster. Since you could practice Mandarin anytime, anywhere and with anyone...
Diogo - Portugal
Internship Program in Beijing – 2015
Living in one of the most crowded city in the world and being able to go to work in a little tuk-tuk every morning is just a normal thing in Beijing. Everything is so different from Portugal and that's why I think I really enjoyed my 6 months in China. I have experienced so many things that I will never forget! I met people from all around the world and traveled with them in different cities during the weekends. I am really thankful for that professional and personal opportunity: thank you GAC!
Ashley - Canada
Internship Program in Beijing – 2015
I did the internship program with GAC for 3 months. I used to work in a consulting company that was in charge of helping foreign businesses that wanted to develop their market in China. My colleagues were from China, United States and France. Working in a multicultural environment has taught me so much! As a member of the business development team, I had the opportunity to organize various business meetings, build out a strong professional network, develop my oral presentation skills, etc. I will be forever grateful for that professional experience.
Alice - Belgium
Internship Program in Shanghai – 2015
Shanghai is the city to be: shopping, great restaurants, nightclubs, a lot of foreigners... Seriously how can you hate Shanghai? I personally think it's impossible! I had the time of my life in Shanghai and met so many people. I am pretty sure I'll go back in few years.
Rebecca - United Kingdom
University Mandarin Program (BLCU University) – 2015
I had a great experience with GAC and BLCU short term Chinese program in Summer. Before coming to China I couldn't speak Mandarin at all and had in mind that it was the most difficult language ever. Now, I can have small daily conversations with Chinese people and I am so proud of myself! University Chinese program is very effective for you to learn Mandarin. The teaching system is great. Expecially BLCU Chinese program. Those 2 months in Beijing were very interesting because I got to live with a Chinese family and experienced the real Chinese life!
Pham Quang - Vietnam
Internship Program in Beijing – 2016
For the internship program, I decided to live with a Chinese family. The apartment was located in a wealthy neighborhood and close to a subway station, which was very convenient for me. The family members were really friendly and always willing to help me whenever I needed it. As for the internship, I was surprised to see the amount of responsibilities I had. It was actually good for me because I got the opportunity to further stretch my skills. My coworkers were helpful and gave me the necessary support to accomplish all of my tasks.

Internship Program in Beijing – 2014
I came to China for the Internship Program and spent 2 months in the capital. I decided last minute to come to China. I was supposed to travel for 2 months in Asia but my traveling partner could not come anymore and I did not want to be alone traveling. So I decided to enroll myself in the GAC internship program because I knew I was going to meet people there.
David - USA
Internship Program in Beijing – 2015
I worked as a project design consultant for a start-up company in Beijing. My colleagues were all very friendly with me and helped me a lot in adapting to the business culture. The people that I worked with were very patient and took the time to explain me how to avoid any cultural misunderstandings that could scuttle any of the company's deals. It really seemed that they were used to have foreign interns! Studying Chinese is very useful and a smart decision.
Anna - Germany
Internship Program in Beijing – 2014
I would definitely recommend ‘Go abroad China’ without a once of hesitation, they give you just the correct balance between freedom and their fun organized events. You can always get in touch with any of them if you need help which is very reassuring. The coordinators are fantastic people that I had the chance to meet around good Chinese dinners and weekend activities. By the way, just a little advice for vegetarians: in China the menus are in Chinese so tell the ‘fuwuyuan’ (the waitress) ‘wo chi su’, which means that you are a vegetarian.Learning Chinese in Beijing with local people is very interesting. The beijingers have some special accent regarding some specail Chinese words. in additional, the staff will be able to help you choose your food.
Making friends is one of the main highlight of this company. Participants are so different (because we come from different countries) but in a way so similar it is difficult to explain... I don't know if it's the fact that we are all experiencing the same things at the same time or what, but I really feel like building strong friendships was way faster and easier than in my own country where we have the same mothertongue. I guess you have to live it to totally understand what I mean!
Clément - France
Internship Program in Chengdu – 2014
The first day that I arrived in Chengdu, I felt intimidated. Chinese people were looking at me like if I was an alien or a famous actor. It was actually a bit weird and overwhelming at the same time. A lot of people would stop me in the streets and ask me if they could take a selfie with me. I did not really understand why they wanted to have a picture with me so bad. In France that kind of situation would only happen if you are a superstar!
Eric - USA
One-on-One Tutoring Program in Beijing – 2014
I had a fairly positive experience with GAC. I lived with a young Chinese professional (no English) and studied 6 hours a day with a tutor provided by GAC. I would recommend it if you really plan to improve your Mandarin level. Accommodation was great. I had everything that I needed. I had a small living room, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen. Neighborhood was definitely safe and generally speaking I have to say that China is very safe. GAC coordinators were very helpful and attentive. Do not hesitate to ask them to accommodate or help you.
Oliver - United Kingdom
University Mandarin Program in Shanghai – 2014
20 people coming from different countries, learning Mandarin together in a small group class from Monday to Friday: that’s the spirit! The two months in Jiaotong University were just crazy! I was not expecting that at all. I had so much fun learning and living the life in Shanghai that I did not want to leave. People were great and teachers also. I have learned how to write 200 Chinese characters in 2 months.
Joshua - Australia
Internship & Mandarin Program in Beijing – 2013
A number of things contributed to making my internship such a fantastic experience. First of all, as I chose the home stay option, I was living with a Chinese family in a typical Beijing apartment. The family was very kind and provided assistance to me where they could. Secondly, the internship position itself and the company I worked for were excellent. For the first time since starting my studies I was able to get real-world, hands-on experience applying my knowledge, and I got to learn a lot of new stuff along the way. Thirdly, the other employees at my work were great people who really enriched my experience.
Prior to coming to China I did not speak any Chinese at all, and naturally this makes life a little bit difficult, especially when trying to get directions or ordering food at restaurants. However, the program coordinator’s service was extremely good. They were extremely friendly and helpful, and made the transition to Beijing life much easier than it would otherwise have been. The program also provides me some Chinese classes, GAC has teir own Mandarin school in Beijing and shanghai. I learnt a lot about Chinese language. After a few months of learning Mandarin in small group class with GAC , and my Chinese indeed improved a lot. I will recommend this program as it provides a very unique and rewarding experience, and is provided by a very professional and helpful organization. Choosing GAC for my internship has been an excellent decision, and I have not regretted it for a moment.
