I decided it is time to really learn Mandarin. I tried taking courses online, I tried to get my wife to teach me, I tried three different books and none of those really got me anywhere. I want to be able to talk to my parents in law and understand what our children say to their mother when they grow up. I have a full time job, so taking a year off is not an option, however I think I can get 3 months from my boss at the end of this year and I want to spend them studying intensively in China. I am not sure when I will have the opportunity to study full time for that long again (if ever during my working life), so I really want to make the most out of that time. Anyone has any suggestions for a good, intensive and well run language program in China? I am open to going anywhere, but would prefer studying in a Mandarin speaking area to be able to practice speaking and listening on the street. I would be going alone, as I know if my wife comes I will only end up speaking English with her again.....
