Intensive Chinese 24

I was glad to have the opportunity of getting house which avoided some stress. It was super nice that I was able to make my stay longer quite spontaneously. The class I joined was not quite my level which was a bit unfortunate but the teachers and other students were very welcoming and friendly. Organising the schedule or anything always worked really fast and without problems. I was sad that I just missed a trip with the school.

I really enjoyed the day trip to Shenzhen and it was definitely the best part of my trip. Teachers where all great!!!

I really liked the teachers I had, they explained very well and explained things very clearly. The activities they made me do to start the HSK3 were grammar exercises and trying to express myself with grammatical rules that I had never seen before.

I enjoyed the lesson on buying water at a convenience store.

I had the pronunciation of L and R carefully corrected.

I am an experienced language student who has been studying Spanish in Spain for over 15 years.

Ienrolled on Mandarin group lessons with Q Language but were rescheduled to 1:1 lessons at appropriate higher level after a video assessment prior to my departure to HK.

There was an issue with accommodation on my arrival but was swiftly rectified personally by Stuart, the Director of the school who found a studio which satisfied all my requirements for the purpose of my stay. I enjoyed my lessons with Sunny, my teacher and apart from improving on my Mandarin, I received lots of useful tips on getting around in HK.

Overall, I had an amazing 4 weeks with Q Language and am grateful for their students services provided to me which incidentally including scheduling lessons times to best suit my needs. They had an amazing and elaborate Chinese Christmas lunch organised by the school which unfortunately I couldn’t attend. For personal reasons and because I was not in group lessons, I had little contact with other students and to join their activities this time round but I would certainly like to be more involved next time when I return.

As I write, I have already booked and paid for another 4 weeks’ course to be taken in Nov 2024 or earlier to ensure I would secure not just the course but also the same studio accommodation on my return.

Q language is very wonderful language school in Hong Kong. Teachers and staffs were very kind and professional. I could take meaningful lessons in there. I’m appreciate them bottom of my heart. Hope I can come back to Hong Kong and take their lessons again in near future.

Carrie was a great teacher. Helpful, patient and cheery. I enjoyed my lessons with her

Only 1 week study, but I had met good teacher and good class mates. I will try again soon next summer holidays to learn more.

In first it was difficult to find my level, I started with beginner to become more confident with my speaking then, after some private lesson I could change the level and it was really better and more interesting for me.
The students is very nice and the classes is okay.

Most of the teachers is very good because they are dynamic, fun and their lessons are varied. But some could be more active and make the student work and less dwell on the inutil discussions because we pay a certain price to improve our English and not just listen to someone talk.

Maybe the welcome for the new student could be a little more reassuring because the receptionist and the first teachers I saw spoke really too fast and didn't necessarily take the time to explain quietly, it was pretty scary.

But after this remarks it's a really good experience I could improve my English and I'm happy

The school is good and has a good location. The teachers are knowledgeable and the class size is small.

Unfortunately, the class I was placed in did not match my level (I ended up in the beginners class with no/very low benefits for me despite having over one year of Mandarin classes). The administration was accommodating and I switched to private lessons instead.

A suggestion is to make the "placement" test written and spoken instead of spoken only to more accurately place students in classes.

Overall, the experience was really nice. I have liked some classes and some teachers more than others, but it was good trying to push myself and it helped me a lot with my speaking.
I have nothing to say about the location and school facilities, I think they were average.

I liked so much my teachers Sunny and Kelly are very good teachers and make me learn a lot of chinese and are all very kind with me. I like so much how is the program structured and i will suggest everyone to do it in your school if have c
The chance. The only negative thing is that is too expensive for a person who is not living in HK to afford your curses.

Good teachers in a nice location. Sometimes was it a little bit hard to follow the teachers and I felt a little bit lost , but all in all was it a nice time and I would always do Q Language again. The location was small but okay.

People were nice but a little disorganized. Was told I could start at beginners level but the classes had already started so I had to do private lessons to catch up. After catching up and joining the group class, I found that the learning speed and level of everyone was different, causing the entire class to go a the pace of the slowest learners. Overall level of communication wasn't great.

The teachers were very kind and the class was very advanced and well prepared. The housing, where i had stayed this year and last year, was very enjoyable to stay in.

Me and the family living in the house have become very good friends. In total both the housing and classes were magnificent.

Two rather negative points was the long way from the housing to the language school and the high costs of the class. But despite all of that, I had a beautiful time and I would strongly recommend the language school to anyone.

Did not get the classes requested - private lessons (ratio 1/3) instead of group lessons - hardly any socializing possible.
other from that did my first teacher speak mandarin only and had a very odd approach of teaching an absolute beginner. I had no choice but demanding an other teacher, otherwise I would not have profited a bit.

the teachers and the classes were excellent and I liked everything

I had a good time and teachers were very nice. Location was perfect. Teachers were all native speakers. Student can share opinions in the class.

It was very nice to have few number of students in the class.
Teachers: very nice and competent but too much daily discussion in class which could be done outside the class
Facilities: very good
Activities: good and not boring
Housing: less than 30 minutes via MTR, would have been better but my family was really nice!

The teachers were very nice. I had a very good time.

Location was perfect, classes were really comfortable and the teachers were all native speakers.

I liked the classrooms and the fact that there were only 5-6 students plus the teacher in each class was perfect because I think that helps since you have more opportunity to speak and listen. I would like to thank Q Language because I realized that the school wasn't just a place to learn English but also a place where you could create amazing friendships and just be around English native speakers as well as a place where you have to speak in English in order to meet new people. The lessons were amazing, the feeling that I had being in my classes was the best, I really felt part of them and the teachers were the best I've ever had. Not just as how they taught me, but also their personality, their ability to make you feel at ease and always supporting you. Everyone at Q Language was really reliable and kind: from my first step in Q Language to my last one, everyone was happy to talk with, even just in the elevator. I can't thank Q Language enough for everything I've received: new friends, amazing teachers, new English skills, the opportunity of talking in English as much as I can and also Elizabeth Stuart, and all the people that are working in Q Language HK because they gave me some amazing memories.

The school isn't bad on a general view. Some of the teacher were very good but some aren't, however most of them are native speakers. So it is strongly dependent on the teacher you will have in fact. I booked a business course 24 hours per week on the upper intermediate/advanced level but in fact I had four different teachers every week. All of them gave me different homework so I really had to coordinate which homework was given from which teacher and when it had to be accomplished. The only real business subjects I had with my private teacher who was kindly given to me for 4.5 hours per week.

The school facilities were okay, typical for Hong Kong with only little free space for self-study. Activities were not available during my four weeks time. What I missed was a general meeting point outside school like a cafe or bar or similar.

Housing: my first apartment was so terrible with small animals inside, nearly no sunlight and net space of only few square-meters that I left after one night and stayed in a hotel until the issue was resolved. The second apartment was quite nice but I had to pay an extra of HKD 5000 per 3 weeks it was "not bad" but it was worth it. All of that took me four days while that I was staying in the hotel- and my money is gone. My recommendation: go for the luxury apartments despite the price (it is worth it) and ask to have a look in advance.

To conclude the reason that I chose QLanguage resp. Language International was the additional housing service and that I wasn't satisfied at all. There are other English schools of good quality without housing available.

I booked 24 hours of group classes per week and it was definitely too much for me. I was attached to different classes with 5 teachers. It was very interesting to see the variety of teaching. After a few weeks, I found there was too much vocabulary input and too little of speaking, so I changed to private lessons and to fewer group classes. I think this was a better way to also improve my quality of speaking.

The location was perfect and the facilities were enough.

I liked the teachers because they were funny and very patient.

We spoke about daily news and interesting questions such as topics on the Internet, movies and festival music.

Classroom: Very tight, very small
Teacher: Good
Location: Good
Facilities: Bad
Activities: Bad
Infrastructure: Too bad, many times without toilet paper, only one bathroom per floor, sometimes the building was without water, the water for drinking was bad.

It was also too expensive.

At my first day at the language school I had that "level test", or how I should call it, and I was really surprised with all that questions, but the teachers helped me and I felt grateful. My first week wasn't really nice because we were ten in class so I didn't learn as much as I want. The other two weeks were full of experiences, great and not as great experiences. Tom was a really good city guide. He showed us the maritime museum and some other nice things, where you can improve your English a lot while reading interesting information about Hong Kong and talking to your classmates. The second and third week where really great. We were three in class so we learned a lot.
The location of the school is wonderful. In the district you have all you want. You can buy some souvenirs, if you want. Than you can choose between, I think 50 or 60 restaurants. They are all special in their own way.
