USA, 16th June 2012- Chinese is famous for being quite tough a language to learn. A foreign student, or a non- native of China would certainly have a tough time learning the language. However, the process can be simplified and made quite bearable with the help of an institution or teachers that are proficient in the language and are capable of teaching. If you are looking for a reputed institute for learning Chinese, The Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) should certainly be on your list.

This is an establishment that has run for the past 40 years. It was started in 1962, with the aim of education foreign students. It is also quite famous for being the only international university in the country of China. The establishment has accepted students from more than 160 countries. The main task of the institution is to teach the students the Chinese language and make sure they become proficient in it. It also educates the students about Chinese culture and off late, some courses on technology, computer science, accountancy etc. have also been introduced, though these courses are just aimed at the Chinese students.

The establishment is quite famous and has over 800 teachers, which would ensure that all the students who enrol with the school get some amount of personal attention as well. Since the focus is on educating foreign students in the Chinese language, the course work and syllabi would also be designed keeping the non- Chinese students in mind. This might actually make the whole program much more effective. BLCU is popular enough to have branches in over 31 countries. It operates in all these countries through partnerships with local universities of the country. The BLCU spreads across Asia, North America, South America, Australia and Europe! Such a multicultural background might also certainly help.

One of the most valuable lessons one can learn from being a student in BLCU would be international understanding. All students come from all around the world, which would certainly promote one’s international thinking, tolerance and expand one’s mind set. A person would be able to do this at the same time as getting an education in Chinese language, which really does sound like an amazing deal.
