Cuando me decidí hacer mis 3 meses de pasantías en Beijing, estaba muy asustada, pero el personal me ayudó durante los meses antes de mi llegada, cuidando todo: visa, empresa para las pasantías, vivienda, etc. Aprendí muy bien en mis cases de chino. Me divertía mucho en las diversas actividades culturales e hice muchos nuevos amigos. ¡Tuv…
Hay un nivel de comodidad y un ambiente agradable en Hutong School que es muy contagioso. Con tan solo cuatro meses en Shanghai he hecho amigos increíbles, aprendí más sobre mí misma como persona mas de lo que podría haberlo hecho en mi propio país, y nunca pensé que disfrutaría tanto estudiar el chino como lo hice durante mi estadía. H…
They provided me with an outstanding placement, tailored language classes and critical welcome assistance. I must have asked the staff a thousand times to change my program, two thousand times to sign up for activities and three thousand times I changed my mind, but I’ve always been assisted with a smile. Priceless experience, priceless staff!
Nunca había ido a China antes de tomar la decisión en hacer un internado mediante Hutong School. El apoyo que recibí del personal fue excepcional y se aseguraron de que nunca me sintiera perdido o solo en Shanghai. Gracias al colegio, conocí a personas de todo el mundo y algunos de ellos siguen siendo mis buenos amigos hasta el día de hoy….
Mi tiempo en Shanghai como parte de la Escuela Hutong fue una de las mejores decisiones que tomé. Fue la mejor pasantía que he tenido, con un buen tutor, tengo una nuevos conocimientos y grandes experiencias. La Escuela Hutong no solo me dio una experiencia profesional, sino también me dio una buena comprensión cultural.
La Escuela Hutong hizo que venir a China por primera vez fuera muy provechoso, emocionante e integrador culturalmente. El personal, los profesores y los estudiantes fueron absolutamente encantadores y todavía me mantengo en contacto con muchos de ellos. ¡En 6 meses fui de un nivel principiante a un nivel intermedio!
Just kidding! His Chinese is already really impressive. But Mark, you're always welcome if you want to practice those tones ?
Elegí a la Escuela Hutong porque tenía una amplia variedad de ofertas de pasantías. Además, debido a mi corta edad, me gustaba saber que siempre había alguien a quién podía contactar. La Escuela Hutong me mostró las mejores pasantías adecuadas a mi personalidad. Conocí gente de todo el mundo, a quien yo llamo ahora buenos amigos.
I first went to Shanghai as a Hutong School student, nothing speaks more about the experience than the fact that I went back for an internship (within their offices!) a year later. Studying and working in China were the differentiating factors on my resume that lead me to the amazing job I have now, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Hutong School´s awesome staff guiding me through my Chinese adventures.
I’ve joined the Hutong School in Beijing and Shanghai two times already – and every time it was a great and wonderful experience. The accommodation is quite okay. The people at the Hutong School are very nice and helpful in every way. The teachers are very motivated and well prepared. And the School offers a lot of fun free-time activities. The “Hutong-School-weeks” were one of my best in my live – and I can recommend it in every way. You not only learn a lot – you also meet a lot of new friends.
