Pengyou (friends) Exchange Program
In order to grasp the second language you are learning, it's crucial to practice the language as much as you can. To create the language environment and encourage participants to involve locals in deeper interaction in Chinese, Allied Gateway will arrange a local Chinese friend based on age, sex and interests for participants. Not only it's one of the best ways to enhance your listening and speaking skills, but also an effective way to obtain the most updated and common-used language. In addition, it helps participants have a better understanding of the Chinese culture and society through the interaction.

Extra Curriculum Activities
Allied Gateway organizes a large variety of activities for program participants to improve your language competence and understanding of Chinese culture. Activities include language and culture oriented electives, weekend sightseeing, cultural workshops, and monthly excursions out of Guangzhou.
