Overview
Lotus's programs afford students a unique opportunity to live with a Chinese family while they study Mandarin. We designed our Learn Chinese with a Homestay programs for those looking for deeper connections to local Chinese culture, that for instance, you wouldn't find in a sterile hotel or international dormitory. In addition to the homestay our programs include cultural excursions, extracurriculars, and charity activities. These extras that not only enhance students' understanding of Mandarin, but also serve to educate them about the profound traditions and current realities of China. Lotus steps outside the classroom and the dormitory to give students a well rounded more complete picture of China and its standard language. Lotus guarantees you will return from China with not only increased language proficiency but a more intimate comprehension of China and its people. Check out our Chinese Immersion Programs today!

Housing/Accommodation

Homestay / Host Family
We believe that living with a homestay family is by far the most effective way to study a foreign language, so it is the only living option we offer. All students are placed with families, from a pool of over 2,000 candidates, who will foster their language learning and are eager to help with homework as well as ensuring tat daily needs are met. Besides eating meals together, students participate in all of the family's regular activities. To ensure a safe and positive experience, before allowing a family to host foreigners, Lotus conducts thorough interviews and a security check. Our Beijing staff is also available at all times if any concerns or issues arise.
